I sort of agreed with you - we have wolf spiders in this country.

THEN I saw the size of it!!! :-S

I know Scozz,

We sometimes find them in the house and they help to move the furniture :-D

Don't like them outside as you just walk into the webs :-(

Shelob springs to mind :-0

Where were you in 1967 (I won't ask how old you were :-) )

Did you sing along with this?.........

Scozz,

I was 19, and probably in Aldershot as I joined the Army Reserve in that year. The big song at the time was "If you're going to San Francisco" (Scott McKenzie) :-D

Never heard of Boris :-(

I was 17, living in Adelaide.

"Boris" was a silly song, not what we expected from The Who.... when it was on the radio we chased youngest brother around the house, singing (in a high pitched voice)....... creepycreepycrawlycrawlycreepycreepycrawlycrawly.

Mum liked "If you're going to SF"......... I went there, but never saw anyone with flowers in their hair.......... but saw lots of men wearing leather......... funny trousers with no backside in them rofl

:-D

lol Scozz,

I have never been to SF, and from your description, I'm glad.

Always thought that the song (Going to SF) was a bit at odds with my joining the Army Reserve, even though I was in the RAMC :-D

lol Allan...... SF is a really nice place.

I remember seeing the leather-clad men & commenting that the bikies were very tidy....... Himself gave me a funny look, said they weren't bikies....... I had another look..... that's when one of them turned around..... and I got the back view. Cheeky!
