"Part of my kitchen floor are thick with dust, grease, part of a broken mug, a few mummified oven-chips, a desiccated used teabag and a couple of pieces of cutlery", says Sandettie Light Vessel Automatic. To most people, that's filth. To some of us, that's dinner. Tell us about squalid homes or obsessive cleaners.

My first flat was very clean and tidy, but at night, hundreds of silverfish would dart across the bathroom floor. I tried to kill them but they're nippy little fuckers, and I only managed to assassinate a couple. I hate silverfish. Why did they want to live in my bathroom? What is the point in silverfish? Does the presence of silverfish mean my bathroom was dirty?
Silverfish scare me. Wikipedia refers to them as fishmoths and carpet sharks. Horrible little things are Silverfish.

That's much better than Silverfish. Carpet Sharks sounds far more dangerous, like if you walked into the bathroom barefoot one might eat your toe...

That's the best name ever! Unfortunately I haven't seen one for years... Bah!

and take it into the bathroom at night.

and occasionally get them in my bathroom. A good spray of dettol usually stops them in their tracks. When they're dead and swimming in their little pool of dettoly goodness I just wipe them up and bin them.

and we get them in my lab. One climbed into a flask and died, and I dissolved its body in our acid bath.

Then hang a model helicopter under it with sticky pads on, that'll catch the fuckers.
