hawc Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 You should see one of our chemistry labs! Has a ladybird infestation on the ceiling. Went in there today to replace the pc as part of our rolling replacements and had ladybirds dropping on my head! 1
elsiegee40 Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 You should see one of our chemistry labs! Has a ladybird infestation on the ceiling. Went in there today to replace the pc as part of our rolling replacements and had ladybirds dropping on my head! We have large numbers of ladybirds hibernating in our staff room every winter. You don't realise they are there until the spring. It's a Victorian building with sash windows which don't seal particularly well.
MikeGilbert Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Check the ladybirds out on iSpot | your place to share nature - if they're natives, cherish them. If they're Harlequins, terminate with extreme prejudice.
Ephelyon Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 (edited) We went up into the ceiling to install the Head's new WiFi access point once and found a beehive up there! Edited October 22, 2013 by Ephelyon
synaesthesia Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 If I see one more person describe them as "Killer Spiders" I will personally do more damage than one of those spiders ever could. They are NOT KILLER SPIDERS. Wasps are more dangerous, the bite of a false widow is no worse than a wasp sting but I concede, people can be allergic to either which could cause death. So can a peanut though....
hawc Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Just had a text message from a very apologetic Chemistry teacher. She said that they were fumigating her room over the weekend and sealing all the entry points
tech_guy Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Killer Spiders! Killer Spiders! KILLER SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 1
synaesthesia Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Killer Spiders! Killer Spiders! KILLER SPIDERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! /me gives @tech_guy quite a nasty bite!
synaesthesia Posted October 22, 2013 Posted October 22, 2013 Just had a text message from a very apologetic Chemistry teacher. She said that they were fumigating her room over the weekend and sealing all the entry points hah! Reminds me of a visit to Hunstanton one year. Literally could not tell the colour of our car because of the huge infestation of ladybirds they had all over the entire town. It was nuts! Could barely see!
tech_guy Posted October 22, 2013 Author Posted October 22, 2013 Ouch..... ........KILLER SPIDERS ATE MY HAMSTER!!!!!!
Arcath Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Ouch..... ........KILLER SPIDERS ATE MY HAMSTER!!!!!! Someones pitching to be on the front page of the daily mail...
CAM Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 You should see one of our chemistry labs! Has a ladybird infestation on the ceiling. Went in there today to replace the pc as part of our rolling replacements and had ladybirds dropping on my head! Had that in an old office, the ladybirds were crawling around the top of the window and falling into the webs of lurking spiders below.

Danp Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 Mrs had one on her arm yesterday We get loads of ladybirds in our office too, old Victorian building.
nicholab Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 This is the problem of allowing the world wide web in schools
Bompalompalomp Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 In this time of peril, all I can think is that It could have been me.
AJWhite1970 Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 I worked in an old hotel once and one of the bars was completely oak paneled. If you went in there about 4am and turned on the light the floor would part as all the cockroaches ran for cover...
broc Posted October 23, 2013 Posted October 23, 2013 We had a fibre link fail & when the cabling engineer stuck his head up through the false ceiling he came face to face with a very large rat! I have never seen anyone come down a step ladder so fast Turned out the rat (or one of its friends) had munched the cable.
