Where we live it\'s spiders that are a pain in the arse. We live next to Cardiff bay, very near the waters edge. Lots of bugs flying around means lots of food for spiders. Our windows tend to be covered with a fine mesh of web, and you should see the size (and quantity!) of the spiders that come out at dusk! Quite horrible. And just because the window is shut doesn\'t mean they can\'t creep in!
Shudders.... Bugs I hate em.
I mostly hate worms - something about them being small and wriggly I think.
Dunno why the heck I like them featured on nurgle minis then.....

I love worms! They\'re wriggly, pink, and eat compost. Rather like Nelson
However, they do also readily split into two creatures, are simultaneously male and female, and perform a kind of sex that i will never understand. Rather like Nelson
Ooh he\'s after me now! :bouncy:

Hate bugs
bah! Never been stung. Watched a couple sting my mother once tho.
I don\'t like wasps because they are such lazy buggers and aggressive too.
Spiders.... Nah don\'t like \'em as a pets much. I do like the fact they eat just about every other bug tho.
In my parents house we had holes in the basement window frames in my bedroom. I kept my little spiders around there to keep the ants under control. Once they got too big and fat, \"shlup!\" Screaming up the vacuum they went.
We\'ve had a stupid amount of rain here. The mosquitos are abnormally large and are swarming in greater numbers than usual. Our bane this summer here.
I don\'t mind snakes (heck they\'re cute!), or mice or rats. Spiders have their purpose. Bees are wonderful critters. Earwigs are ugly but not too bad. Worms do a lovely job in the compost and garden.
Wasps are just useless. They don\'t even pollenate most flowers well.
But if there is something that will get me screaming like a girl on top of a chair, it\'s a centipede. Not a millipede or worm. But any size of centipede just freaks me out.
Horrid creatures with a hundred little legs and a bad attitude. Ugh!
Mind you...unidentified pieces of lint floating around the floor at night have sent me shrieking as well.
lol

The English Dictionary sums up these B!£$%^&s I reckon
\" Sriped stinging insect resembling bee - Wasp\'ish irritable, snappish\"
I got stung as a kid now if anything comes near me and goes buzz or acts agressive I run like hell in the opposite direction.

The only time you\'ll see me praying is when a wasp or a spider comes too close. Especially a spider. Wasps... well, I don\'t like them, but so far I\'ve never stepped on a hive.
Now, how about hornets ? I had once fly into my room once. I heard a low menacing buzz (more like BUZZZZZ, actually, if you see what I mean), looked up, saw an oversized wasp on steroids angrily bumping against the window. As soon as it calmed down a little, I opened the window, bolted out of my room, locked the door, and went to pursue healthier hobbies. Like video games.

Believe me I would rather be on a sinking ship any day (been their done that and got the certificate and t-shirt) than in a room with one of those critters or any of its relatives.
No it shouldn\'t have look like this but when the idiot driving hits one of these what would you expect!
My appologies if teh top photo takes a while to load I forgot to convert it

So how much does a second hand type 42 destroyer with \'some work needed\' and a \'not very careful owner\' go for these days ?

Well, I don\'t know about a destroyer, but should you have an extra $6.45 million, you could always settle for this baby.

Thats cheap for a carrier
Think I\'ll pass on that though thanks never did like anything big and a 42 is more than big enough and I\'d still rather be on something smaller.

what is that thing in the water?
ive never been stung by a bee or a wasp but when i was younger i had a phobia of them, really of any bug that flew, it was like bugophobia or something, i used to never step foot outside, like ever, but i outgrew it, oh and the germ phobia too (i wouldnt swallow my spit because i used to think there were germs that would make me die it it.)lol i was one weird kid.

£26 million eh? spose a nice little refit as well.. not bad Thought the 42\'s were reaching the end of their active life tho\'
as for the carrier.. I think the RN flogged it to Brazil or Angentina in the first place..
I mean where would you keep a tub like that !?!

No its not a reef the reef is around the other side of teh island this is deffinately a rock in normal conditions it sits about a metre above teh water when we hit it it was pitch black 22:00 at night with a 3 metre swell, some junior officer had drawn a line through it on the chart and still thinks it\'s funny to this day (W$£%er) that and several other mistakes by the bridge crew officers which I won\'t go into gave us a lot of very hard graft and little sleep over teh next month of hitting it.
We did a comedy shot in photoshop with the ship on the rock if I can find it I\'ll insert it later
