Hi all,
Vanilla are planning an update to the site on April 24th (next Wednesday). It is a major PHP8 update which is expected to boost performance across the site. The site will be down from 7pm and it is expected to take about an hour to complete. We appreciate your patience during the update.
Thanks all.

Your biggest fear.

So what is one thing that terrifies you? For me, its spiders. Big manly man that I am, I run when I see a spider. Don't know why either, just one of those things. So what is your biggest fear? Rats? Cotton wool? Commitment? Leprosy?

Sand paper, all my life I've been absolutely terrified of it. When I think of it I think of it being scrapped across my teeth.

I feel horrible now...

Fúck! Me too. It absolutely has to be spiders. Or anything else that crawls. *shudder* Im absolutely terrified, but my Mammy says that doesn't make me any less of a man.

I can hardly look at them, never mind touch them, without completely frreaking out. Even just thinking of them now is making me paranoid.

Oh wait I have another one, kinda related to this. I literally shudder when I think of the Jackass when Steve-O, i think, got paper cuts in between all his fingers. Oh god, its getting hard to type while thinking of this.

Ha I think I could just about manage that!

Another thing that freaks me out is the noise a yard brush makes when it's being swept over concrete with a bit of sand on it. Thinking about it gives me the exact same feeling that the sandpaper does.

*Shivers*

My biggest fear? Not spiders, not moths, not heights or any of that crap.
