"You were given the choice between war and dishonor.
You chose dishonor and you will have war."

(Winston Churchill made this prophetic pronouncement in a House of Commons speech in 1938, just after Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain signed the Munich agreement with Hitler. Chamberlain returned from Germany with the signed agreement in hand, proclaiming that "peace in our time" had been achieved. Churchill attacked Chamberlain's "politics of appeasement" in this and many other speeches.)

Oondreds of legs. You never seen a British spider? Use their webs as trampolines and come at you at eye height

very crunchy if I recall. Yes I did wake up part way through. Once you've sat next to a cat thats happily chewing away on a spider bigger than your hand, then you know what crunchy is.

To be optimistic about the several hundred spiders that supposedly living in a household, they keep other nasty creatures away!
