Spider news help

porkmarras · 02.19.2007, 05:13 AM

Has anyone who lives in London or England heard some news about giant spiders being found down the London Underground tunnels?One of my flatmates was telling me about it yesterday but i can't find anything to read on the internet so i'm not sure if he was only stoned and decided to pull my leg.

Wasn't it on a tv programme over the weekend? I'm sure I read something about it.

What a team.

Is that programme any good?

sonicl · 02.19.2007, 05:22 AM

I haven't a clue. It's on ITV, which is a channel I generally avoid.

Hip Priest · 02.19.2007, 05:23 AM

Exactly. I avoid the third channel too, especially since Zoe left Emmerdale.

sonicl · 02.19.2007, 05:24 AM

Let's assume, for the sake of perpetuating a crass generalisation, that it's rubbish.

its true and they grow to the size of a small chinese restaraunt. they are not nearly as dangerous as the horses that live in the underground though.

Motion carried.

...The giant spiders appear in an abdandoned tunnel off the London Underground after an anomaly opens to the Carboniferous swamps 300 million years ago. The spiders are boosted to these sizes by the oxygen rich atmosphere of the Carboniferous which also fills the tunnels...

!?!?

They say that wherever you are in London there'll be a rat within a couple of metres of you, don't they? There's probably one sat in Porky's cubicle right now, waiting to pounce on him when his back's turned.

porkmarras · 02.19.2007, 05:29 AM

Stop it.I saw a rat the other day and they terrify me.C'mon guys,i'm being serious.Is this true?

jon boy · 02.19.2007, 05:30 AM

there are thousands of rats in berlin, its infested.

Hip Priest · 02.19.2007, 05:31 AM

THe thing about the rats is that although there's a multitude of them, generally stay out of the way, in their own little world.

If only we could say the same about chavs.

Rats also have their good points too. For instance they are very caring parents, and go to great lengths in the sewers to assure that their offspring are cared for properly.

If only we could say the same about chavs.

When rats do become a problem, it is usually relatively easy to deal with them , for instance with some kind of baited trap or whatever.

If only the same &c.

CHOUT · 02.19.2007, 05:31 AM

Porkmarras should film himself being afraid of spiders and rats and post it up for us to see.

sonicl · 02.19.2007, 05:32 AM

Do you mean is the spider thing true, Porky? It depends on how gullible you are.

The rat thing? I doubt that there's one in your cubicle, but it would be a good idea to have a broom handy just in case you need to fend one off.

jon boy · 02.19.2007, 05:33 AM

its the land sharks i am scared of.

sonicl · 02.19.2007, 05:37 AM

Okay, I confess, I'm terrified of giant squid. I saw this documentary called "20,000 Leagues under the Sea" once, and one tried to eat a submarine.

porkmarras · 02.19.2007, 05:37 AM

Nevermind.....

You wouldn't have like this 'bright lights big squiddy' story much then, so don't read it: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/6357005.stm
