To add to the list of oddball things happening to me recently, I was relaxing in CE on thursday, and casually gazed upwards when I saw a spider (say the size of my fingernail) in the crook above the window between the curved aircraft wall and the overhead compartments. Now I dont know much about spider behaviour but it seemed pretty still for the whole flight so I comforted myself that it was dead. That and the fact that theres little food for it (except perhaps for the massive fly that was buzzing around; double odd!). Anyways, I know we dont have poisonous spiders in Britain, god bless this isle, but I dont know where it had travelled from so I was quite nervous.

I didnt point it out to the crew, but I probably would have done if it had moved.

Nasty.

I think they fumigate the cabins though dont they?
