    I've got a brick that keeps away lions. Never had a lion in the house in all the time I've lived here. I keep it next to my anti-tiger shopping trolley.

    I have anti-shark repellent. Thanks to Adam West for that tip.

    Never encountered one.

    House spiders live in every house. When my kids had loads of conkers everywhere I don't think there were any less spiders. We need spiders though, to catch the flies that are way more annoying when you wake up and hear one buzzing round your bedroom!

    I know an old lady who swallowed a fly.
    Perhaps she'll die.
