I think I should have the thread split on account of not having had one for years.

Nice specimen on the spider. Doesn't look like any false widow I've ever seen but I'm no expert. We have loads of false widows here but they all have brown legs and white markings on their abdomen. That one you posted doesn't have those characteristics. Nice looking thing though.

If you read the comments there are a fair number of 'got bitten by a false widow 2 years ago and still recovering' stories.

Jeff's Tw**t's been quoted on a website that's not 606v2 or Tw*tter (he goes by the name Jazz Paul):

Sicond.
Just read through some of his tw**ts. Clearly Tw**ter turns people into tw*ts.

Might appear so on the surface but there's a deep vein of sarcasm and irony which runs through his Tw*tter persona and provides some context for individual tw**ts.

Excuse me for being too obtuse to recognise that.

Charles Atlas. l*l
That was a good one, Jules.

He has a real-life mate on Tw*tter called Scotty who's like a michaels of the North. Comes up with some genius stuff.

Having watched Downton, I can confirm that, which makes Scotty observations all the funnier.

Fleeting fleeing fist.

Nearly got attacked by a wasp just then. I was hosing this purple crap off the paving. Bloody ibis (or vultures?) did several craps out there which are right in my eyeline to the pool from the sofa.

It's as though someone had dropped 3 or 4 tubs of Activa Probiotics TM Multi Berry yoghurt... massive piles of sh!t... but a very nice colour actually!

Then the wasp came at me. Like in a cartoon I directed the blast of water in its face and slowed down its acceleration towards me. Think at the end it did a quick 180° turn and then buzzed away.

Going out to water the front now... 2 hot days coming up.

Sleepy Siconds.

Youngest son is on a 3 day scout camp, pack on his back etc. As parents we are obviously keen to find out how he's doing. He sent a text to me last night.
'Would you be able to restock our beer supply tomorrow?'

Tird of paradise

Glad to hear that scouts have found some useful pursuits, knots aren't going to help make your problems disappear like beer does.

Going to a pub quiz tonight for the first time in what must be years.

That's a sore point. Bought a pint at the wedding I went to a few weeks back, £7.55! And it was f*cking awful.

Cheers, PJ. I tend to get Palikir and Honiara confused and can never remember Nauru's (which I think is Yaren, and which I see you've left off altogether). All of the non-country ones (New Caledonia, American Samoa etc) I have no clue about so I might keep this post open on my phone.

Shah! Shah! Shah! used to call him that. So maybe you're on to something.

I wonder if Shah would let me take credit for that, now that he's busy running Afghanistan. I don't really want to ask in case he has me thrown off a building.

Yeah sorry Galts.

I left Nauru off the list because there's hardly any phosphate left on there and it will soon be underwater anyway.

Yaren pretty good shape when it comes to knowing all the capitals of Oceania so you shouldn't have any majuro worries.

It's a great Honiara receiving such praise from you.

It's the least I can do, mate. Have a funafuti time there tonight... and don't forget Helen Keller!

I don't think I Canberra this any longer.

You're not a Lome in feeling that way.

Fist.
Good quiz Galted? Or did it all go a bit Pete Tonga?

Second. Morning Jules.

Yes, I'm eager to see how he went considering we were all Bairiki'ng for him.

Tird. I don't think I have anything to add

Morning all, and thanks for the support. We came second, by 1 point. I wasn't there at the end as our kid started playing up and I had to take him home, can't understand how he could get bored watching his tablet for 2 hours.

No capitals of Oceania which was a bit of a letdown. There was this question though, thought I'd post it on here as I quite liked it.

What does the following stand for: C R h l b w N a P.

Had no idea at first until the quizmaster said that it was geography, then got it in a flash.

Meant to add that it really Berns me to come second.

Something has land borders with two other things.

Czech Republic, Netherlands and Poland?

The Bern(s) hint... something to do with Switzerland?

Julius is onto it, very impressive as I got it through the capitalised words, not the lower case which is infinitely more difficult.
Hint: Bern isn't a hint.
