Pet hates

Worse. A custard cream.

Good to see a man with excellent taste in biscuits.

I couldn't find any cow biscuits...

... I'd hate to have a pet spider.

We did - well, sort of. A garden spider, Araneus diadematus, but she set up home indoors, in the window recess halfway up our stairs in late summer 2010. Seemed to make a good living out of passing insects, even in that cold winter, but she was a messy eater, leaving the sucked-out husks on the windowsill for us to sweep up. Finding a mate there would have been a challenge, though; I don't think she'd thought that through.

We were sad to find her on her back on the sill last week. I hope we get another one.

Pet hate: killing spiders that pose no threat (ie any British species.) Glass, card, front door.

Glass, card, front door.

Mind you the glass must be the right way otherwise you generally squash the offending spider

I used to murder spiders a long time ago (just house spiders mind) but haven't for a long time now.

I tend to escort them off the premises instead.

I leave cob web spiders in the house as I don't mind them.

They are good to have around as they catch flying things you don't want.

This is getting like Cluedo.

People who make a minor adjustment to their number plate then whinge on a forum when they've been caught out and fined.

Swiftly followed by the crowds who post " They should be looking for killers and terrorists instead of picking on innocent motorists".

You do realise this is the wrong place to discuss your fantasies.

The weekly thead - "How do I change the kph display......"

The kph display that is about 5mm high that distracts so many new owners. If it is that much of a distraction put a bit of black tape over it or press one of the steering wheel buttons and get a different display up.

Death to the woman in the silver Polo who followed me into Sainsbury's car park but then beat me to the last remaining lower-level parking space by driving against the designated traffic flow.

"Who knew?", the latest irritating rhetorical buzz phrase imported from America and now appearing liberally in the gossip-based press in an attempt to generate intrigue about stories that not aren't remotely intriguing.

Recent applications include the discovery of the bodies attached to everything from the Easter Island heads to Benedict Cumberbatch.

Who knew? Who cares!

Those who cannot wait to ejaculate the latest buzz word and watch for your reaction to see if you know what they are talking about. One small shop owner did just this once when he told me he was getting increased "Footfall". It seemed he used the word solely to see if I knew what he was talking about or not.

I believe treatments are available (or so I've heard).

Cats.

I have another injured pigeon in my care now thanks to a neighbours cat swiping the fledgling out of the air. It would be bad enough if the cats ate their pray but most seem to kill for the sheer evility of it.

Another annoyance is the cats that sit at the side of our pond waiting to swipe a fish. I wouldn't hurt a cat, but I know of some cat owners whose cats have been shot with an air rifle.
