My (adult) daughter is completely petrified of spiders and once received one of these catchers for Christmas... she used it for the first time, duly caught the spider, but then freaked... she chucked the catcher out of the upstairs window whereupon it landed on the drive and smashed to bits  lol

I don't kill spiders. I just help them out of my home in case I tread on it. Spiders eat flies and you know what they eat.

I know an old lady who swallowed a fly....

Sorry Mr Fitz Blitz - we specialise in going massively off at a tangent on here. You will see the bike running again if you stick with us and trawl through any inane drivel.

Right, back on topic  :smirk:

The tank is now full of vinegar, I shall leave that at least twenty four hours and then neutralise with some bicarb of soda. Then I shall strip down the fuel pump assembly and replace the bottom filter.

I dropped the oil, it was blaaaaack.
