Not a case of one-upmanship, but I saw a fair few of these in Iraq. Evil looking things. Lay their eggs under you skin Shocked Google Camel Spider and see some of the raw wounds people have suffered. Horrible.

I came across this a while back and it really made me smile, I was reminded of it today

Anyways, I hope you enjoy it as much as I did......

Below is the complete email conversation that David Thorne claims he had with a utility company chasing payment of an overdue bill.

Subject: Overdue account

Dear David,

Dear Jane,
I do not have any money so am sending you this drawing I did of a spider instead. I value the drawing at £233.95 so trust that this settles the matter.

Regards, David.

Subject: Whose spider is that?

Dear Jane, Are you sure this drawing of a spider is the one I sent you? This spider only has seven legs and I do not feel I would have made such an elementary mistake when I drew it.

Regards, David.

To: David Thorne
Subject: Re: Whose spider is that?

Dear David, Yes it is the same drawing. I copied and pasted it from the email you sent me on the 8th. David your account is still overdue by the amount of £233.95. Please make this payment as soon as possible.

Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

Thank you for contacting me. I am currently away on leave, traveling through time and will be returning last week.

Regards, David.

Subject: Re: Re: Whose spider is that?

Hello, I am back and have read through your emails and accept that despite missing a leg, that drawing of a spider may indeed be the one I sent you. I realise with hindsight that it is possible you rejected the drawing of a spider due to this obvious limb omission but did not point it out in an effort to avoid hurting my feelings. As such, I am sending you a revised drawing with the correct number of legs as full payment for any amount outstanding. I trust this will bring the matter to a conclusion.

Regards, David.

Dear David, as I have stated, we do not accept drawings in lei of money for accounts outstanding. We accept cheque, bank cheque, money order or cash. Please make a payment this week to avoid incurring any additional fees.

Yours sincerely, Jane Gilles

I understand and will definitely make a payment this week if I remember. As you have not accepted my second drawing as payment, please return the drawing to me as soon as possible.

Regards, David.

My spider's favourite place is very similar to the above ^^, around the brake light and rear number plate.

This Huntsman appeared last week as I stopped for a photo on the Nullabor plain. This was his second appearance in 1200kms. Must have good grip, as cruising most of the way into a 35 knot headwind! He was outside by the way, which was just as well. 1955 Series 1 107" Pick up.
