Mongrel ants!!

[WARD P]

At least there was only 1, but it made my life hell one morning whilst negotiating peak hour traffic. It wasn't the size of the spider that was disconcerting, more the fact that it would hide for long enough for me to think it had gone, before doing a kamikaze run over my glove, across the gauges and disappear down the side of the fairing. A few minutes later it would reappear from a completely different location. I'd stopped twice to try and coax the bugger out, but it obviously knew it was on a good thing. Occasionally it would just stick one leg out enough to tease me(obviously female) and then disappear again. It's luck finally ran out whilst attempting a sprint across the tank whilst I was stopped at set of lights. The car drivers must have thought I was crazy, weaving and jumping about and swerving around. Last I saw of the spider it was hightailing it down the centre line.

. . . Amazing the hitchhikers you pick up.
