in my previous home i was working on a car to the back of house. now their was a big fat hairy spider that used to live their between two waste pipes, i decided to leave him/her be.

so im under the car fixing exhaust .....tickle in my shirt collar..thought nothing fixed exhaust, went to back of car where my tools were all in the boot.

looking through tools  feels the tickle again, swept my collar. and out poped big hairy spider. he had been in my collar at least 10mins.....ew

i swear the next thing happend in less than a second.

i picked up my lump hammer and smashed the big bugger to pieces...direct hit bang on target.i was in a total frenzy....lol

after thought.

if i had seen the spider heading for me while i was under car i would have probably knocked myself out.

We rebuilt an engine in a jag and it would not start, so my wife jumped in and we tried to bump start it. Forgot it had power everything and she couldn't turn the steering, and couldn't push the pedal hard enough. Straight into the tree opposite my house and wrecked it.  May remind her of that one.........again :-))

Talking bosses cars, I once had a rush job in Wigan. Always had a hire van, couldn't get one, boss said take the Granada and while your on the road deliver this to Gloucester. Off I trot at high speed and in luxury. Get to the guys in Gloucester to find 5 gallon on resin spilled in the boot. Took us ages to get near enough clean. Carried on to Wigan done the job and tried to wipe out the boot with acetone, nope, took all the paint off as well. Got back to Plymouth and had to tell the boss. He just laughed. Seems the car was being chucked anyway and that's why he let a lowly worker use it.
