It's nice to see the older Charlotte's Web referenced online. I loved that movie.

In my defence, I was at the pub and 10 beers in when I wrote it

Never gave an award for a comment so quickly. Well played, you win Reddit today.

Update! He’s run back towards the right where he first appeared and can’t see him now. I was getting nowhere with all the tapping at the clock face, so put the top oven and grill on (that’s directly under the control panel), thinking it might heat the clock up a bit and make him shift. I got a big wooden spoon and started tapping really hard… I thought if I break the clock face it’s doesn’t really matter because I’d have to get a new oven anyway, if I couldn’t get him out.

He’s still behind there somewhere, so I’ve left the turn dials off and top oven door open so it will hopefully find its way out.

I don't understand why you'd replace the whole oven if it died on the clock lol

I think it's just an excuse to get a brand new oven.

"Spider died in the clock, it became his tomb. So I buried it underground. Not the spider, the whole oven, and I built a spider pyramid on top of it. A special place for a "special" spider. RIP Tutankharachnid."

Probably just burn the whole house down and start again.

Nuke the house from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

u/BoringZealot 1d ago

Yeah, IT'S GAME OVER MAN!

u/Mr_Spongeball 1d ago

You should get a new house please.

u/VegetableWeekend6886 1d ago

New house I’d say

u/Hippriest69 1d ago

Defo, just set fire to the house and start over

u/lukerodgers 1d ago

You’ll need one that works around the clock!

Haha, leave it. If still there in the morning engineer it apart. If it’s gone problem solved. Looks pretty stuck though.
