Our office seems to be full of them. Tiny little fellas, zipping around the desks, walls and ceiling. Got one going up the power lead into the back of the PC at the moment.

Quality - it's just jumped off the front of the PC on to my folder and is now looking up at me. Now he's off up the wall.

Anyone else get these critters amusing them at work?

I wonder if I can construct some sort of assault course for it, from paperclips, erasers, pens etc?

I did have a decent session last night... and ended up with a curry, as you do. Except I chose an Alchari curry - some chef's special recipe...

Promised all manner of spices, and the hint of lime. Intrigued I ordered it, with garlic naan of course... and indeed it was tasty, with a sharp taste of lime, and chilli.

However, after a few minutes, the taste-buds and brain finally made the horrifying connection... "I know this taste".

You know the dips, for the popadoms? There's always one that looks like oily slime, containing chilli-peppers and what can only be dog food, and it's the dare for anyone in the group to eat some of it... Yep, that's what was in this dish!

Still ate it though

Had horrific wind earlier and my poor O-ring is like a balloon knot now.

Well, if you release all of that in the general direction of the spiders, then I would imagine the spiders will vacate your office and move somewhere ozone friendly.

Thank you for your graphic description

Reminds me of that old Johnny Cash song - Ring of Fire

Jumping Spiders, cannot wait to tell my other half, She is aracnaphobic(sp)

Duckpond just make sure you don't follow through

I downloaded earlier, so I'm hoping not to draw mud. Must have been a broadband link, as it came out like a flock of seagulls.

I am being careful though, when blowing off the old "air biscuits", because the thought of building a dry-stone wall in the back of my strides at work is a little concerning.

Found the name of the little creatures - Zebra Spiders.

LMFAO - Ah, Ar$e humour, you cannot beat it!

Had a curry last night but no wet-bum-spurties for me this morning, just one good hard download and a few botty burps thrown in for good measure, took me a while to clean the back of the pan but there ya go.

nuff said.

Be careful of these spiders - they tend to hunt in packs, especially at night when nobody is looking.

Telboy - not so much concerned about the spiders now - when I got in the car at lunchtime, I was covered in those tiny black thrips? Thunderbugs is what I used to call them.

Now I'm itching without reason, just because I'm convinced the wriggling black creep-crawlies are all over me...

Paul - I've made the mistake of putting a Spar's own brand toilet "cleaner" into my system, that's like a hockey puk. Now the water is all blue and I can't tell if I've left anything behind! I suppose after this morning's explosion, I should check the wall behind the toilet too.
