Widge Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 get it done lad and put the pics on here too! Whilst the boiler suit is a step too far, since it'll take me ages to get in it. I've just got to find my masks and potentially stab proof gloves too. Hard hat would be a step too far. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

~~~ Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 Next time you buy bananas............ Killer spider found in family’s supermarket shoppingFamily flee house after finding lethal Brazilian wandering spider in bunch of bananas in their Waitrose groceries delivery Alexandra Topping The Guardian, Sunday 19 October 2014 18.16 BST The Brazilan wandering spider found in a bunch of bananas from Waitrose Photograph: Lisa Perkinson A family has been left “deeply traumatised” after one of the world’s most poisonous and aggressive spiders was set loose in their south London home following an online delivery from Waitrose. A lethal Brazilian wandering spider had been hiding in a bunch of bananas when it was delivered to the house, and was sitting on a sack of eggs containing thousands of babies. The father of the family, Tim, who did not give his surname, spotted the spider while unpacking the shopping and dropped the bananas into the fruit bowl in shock – inadvertently trapping the spider’s leg. The spider tore off its leg in an attempt to escape and hid from sight, sparking a frantic hunt throughout the home as the couple and their two sons, aged seven and eight, fled the house. “Although people might think these things are funny, I keep thinking that the spider could have killed me or my son if he had gone to get a banana,” Tim told the Mail on Sunday. Tim took a photograph and discovered online that the spider – whose Greek scientific name translates as “murderess” – was, according to the Guinness Book of Records, the world’s most venomous. The RSPCA said it could not handle such a dangerous animal and advised the the couple to call the police. The police said they could not remove the spider, whose venom can kill in two hours. Waitrose then sent a pest expert – but when he followed the couple into the kitchen, they found that the spider had ripped off its own leg and had moved out of sight. To make matters worse, when he lifted up the bananas, the family saw a sac containing hundreds of spider eggs. “We had no idea where it had gone,” said Tim. “‘We were terrified. We got ourselves and our kids out of the house straight away.” Pest expert Steve Trippett, who described the spider as “hardcore”, put the eggs in a freezer to kill them and, armed with a 3ft stick, found the spider hiding in the fruit bowl. The spider became aggressive standing on its back legs and showing its fangs. But using his stick, Trippett manoeuvred the creature into a heavy plastic box, which was placed inside two other boxes. It is understood the spider was taken to a scientific centre abroad. The family were too traumatised by their experience to remain in the house, and spent the night with friends. Waitrose offered the family £150 of shopping vouchers and a family day out in compensation. A spokesperson said: “The safety of our customers is our absolute priority. We did everything we could to look after our customer during what was a distressing incident and we’ve apologised personally. Although this is highly unusual, we’re taking it very seriously and will be working with our supplier to minimise the risk of this happening again.” The Brazilian wandering spider is normally found in the tropical forests of South America. Photograph: Barry Turner / Alamy/Alamy The Brazilian wandering spider is normally found in the tropical forests of South America, and has caused 14 reported deaths since 1926.At deadly concentrations, its venom causes loss of muscle control and breathing problems, and can result in paralysis and eventual asphyxiation. Although its venom is highly toxic, it is being studied for use in erectile dysfunction treatments. The spider’s bite can cause an erection that sometimes lasts for up to four hours. It is not the first time the killer spider has stowed away to Britain – last month a woman in Essex had to incinerate her hoover after finding eggs in bananas she bought from Tesco. In March, a family evacuated their Staffordshire home after finding hundreds of hatchlings, while last November, a Tesco store in Kent had to close for several hours after a Brazilian wandering spider was found under a box of bananas. described the spider as “hardcore”, “hardcore” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightswoodBear Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 (edited) When I worked in Safeway we used to get all sorts of spiders and frogs shipped in with the fruit. We were on first name terms with the rentokil poisonous beasty team that had to come out and dispose of them. They were usually a lot flatter than they started by the time they got to the store mind you. Edit: the beasties, not the rentokil guys. We weren't hitting them with shovels or putting them in the cardboard baler or anything......

BFTD Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-29694228 Sounds fair to me. They worked there and contributed to the social security pot. The US could always have deported them if they didn't want this situation to arise. Not like the US was more than happy to receive Nazi scientists and research or anything Incidentally, one of the few declarations you have to make when entering the US is that you haven't contributed to genocide, specifically the Holocaust. I always assumed that a tick in that box would be an automatic turn-around, but perhaps not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
