dAVe80 Posted September 7, 2017 Share Posted September 7, 2017 (edited) My bathroom windowsill spider (Graham) has gone walk about, and I don't know where he's gone. I asked my kitchen windowsill spider (Edward), if he'd seen him, but he didn't answer. It's spider mating season, so probably off sowing he wild oats.

I've liked this post because it made me laugh, but I'm tempted to unlike it because you let spiders stay in your house!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisp65 Posted September 8, 2017 Share Posted September 8, 2017 There's an episode of VT fave Peppa Pig where the dad calmy explains that spiders are harmless little fellas. But every time they show that episode in Australia they get like 13,000 kids die from talking to that toilet spider that shits wasps eggs in to your eyes.* * all facts are my own. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scott Sinclair just drifted past 3 players and then toe poked it past the keeper at about 4mph, it hit the inside of the post and came out towards to other post where he was able to get on the end of it and put it into the empty net (his second of the half) Its like a 5-a-side with your mates Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 14, 2017 VT Supporter Share Posted September 14, 2017 I naively thought that if you bought something from a website, it would more or less ship directly to you from where you bought it (obviously via the odd depot). I ordered a laptop the other day and so far it has done the following journey (thanks to the UPS tracking site): Shanghai, China --> Incheon, Korea --> Anchorage, Alaska --> Louisville, Kentucky --> Newark, New Jersey --> Philadelphia, Pennsylvania --> Cologne, Germany Left Cologne this morning. Who knows where it will go next?! Call me crazy, but would probably have been quicker to go the other way... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quicker maybe to go the other way for your one product, but much quicker and cheaper for many packages to take the slightly odd route. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For everyone waiting with baited breath, it subsequently went to Castle Donnington, then Tamworth and is now out for delivery to my flat in Sutton Coldfield. We can all sleep easy tonight.

What laptop you ordered? I'm tempted by these very high spec but oddly branded Chinese laptops for crazy cheap.

Some of them are probably fine. My sister likes to get that sort of thing and has been stung a few times though.

(In which case you need to be careful of the warranty). I'd assume stock would have been available in Europe somewhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
