With a quite badly upset stomach, wearing nothing but my boxers, and they're round my ankles.

When all of a sudden, a large wolf spider (about 2 inches in diameter)comes marching out from between the bath and cabinet, straight towards me across the floor.

I swear, if I hadn't already done so, I'd have shat myself.

What to do? I dare not stand up, I've nothing to squish it with, and there's no point screaming like a girl because there's no-one around to hear it. And besides, the door's locked.

Employing my strictly limited contortionist skills to keep my butt firmly on the loo, I stretch... stretch... stretch... across the bathroom sink and manage to grab a can of deodourant and pop the lid off.

It's a life or death struggle as the thing edges ever closer. Suddenly I see my opportunity, and... BAM! I slam the lid down sharply.

When the dust settles, I see that - thanks to my years of hand-eye coordination training on videogames - my aim was true, and the beast is caged. I'm safe at last.

At least until I go back to dispose of the monster. I swear I can hear it snarling.

hahah, shouldn't it be wolf the gladiator's head on a spider's body? Rather than wolf the gladiator's head on a wolf's body?!

Remember, I had a bad stomach. I don't think anything will be venturing up through the toilet for quite a while... even a rat! ;-)

Indeed they are harmless, but that doesn't mean I have to want one as a pet!

I don't like them, though ordinarily I've no problems catching them. But when you're sat on the bog and can't move, it's a little different!
