Daddy-Long-Legs

[Jeza]

It is still May only just I know but I thought Daddy-long-legs were a September thing. Earlier I had 3 in my bathroom, any ideas anyone?

[DaisyNonna]

Fred Astaire Jeza? 3? Perhaps you could keep them and form a dance troupe. Nice little earner.

[bibblebub]

ménage à trois?

[tonyav]

Is that eighteen or twenty four legs, Jeza. It does seem early for daddy long legs though.

[Jeza]

I saw that film Daisy a long time ago

To both of you I was being serious. I bet you've both been on the slating post/

[Prudie]

They do usually appear about now Jeza, in fact they are often erroneously called May flies, September is the second brood.

[Jeza]

Tony 6 legs is an insect, 8 legs is an arachnid. So that would be 18.

[DaisyNonna]

Mostly with the Mad Over Fifties . Why not drop in for a couple of minutes? No need to stay but come and have a tailcock and vollyvont with us.

[Jeza]

Prudie I thought they were called Crane Flies.

[Baldric]

Close the window?

[Arksided]

Weather in the UK confuses us all doesn't it why should they know instinctively different. Could even be the new super-bugs.. you know that have camera's fitted to them.

[tonyav]

18, thats plenty though, Jeza.

[Prudie]

They are Crane flies but a lot of people call them May flies (which is something quite different).

Closed now Baldric.

Ark. I will get them a calender after I steal their camera.

Tony 18 is a round of golf. I prefer the 19th hole.

So do I, Jeza, could do with one now I think.

[Jeza]

Well well well Baldric, you learn something new every day. I always thought they were insects, now I learn they are flying spiders.

[tonyav]

So it's 24 legs then.

[Jeza]

Haven't had mine yet Tony either. Shower, nightie and then B&C. I'm running late tonight.

[tonyav]

Get yer self showered and nightied up quick then, Jeza.
