  Speaker 1: Story this morning in the news about bed bugs on
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: a flight from Rome.
• 0:05
  Speaker 2: To Perth or Perth to Rome.
• 0:06
  Speaker 3: I think they originated here. Absolutely horrendous.
• 0:09
  Speaker 2: It affected QF5 and QF6.
• 0:11
  Speaker 3: How awful to deal with that.
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: And now we've got a guy in Bali burnt down
• 0:15
  Speaker 1: his villa while trying to get rid of a spider.
• 0:17
  Speaker 2: Incy Wincy spider climbed up the water spout.
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: I wonder what kind of spider it was. Obviously a
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: big one. He was trying to oust the spider. He
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: spotted it.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: And its web in the corner of his villa bathroom
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: in Kuta.
• 0:33
  Speaker 2: And he burnt the joint down.
• 0:35
  Speaker 3: Well, what he did was he tried to scare it
• 0:37
  Speaker 3: away with flame. He's from Nepal.
• 0:38
  Speaker 2: Like a flamethrower? Not quite. Oh, okay.
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: He set some paper on fire and tried to scare
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: it away. I don't think, I think the spider looked
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: at it and said, very sure. You're going to have
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: to do better than that. So he sort of put
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: it down.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: And then he left. He left the villa and was
• 1:01
  Speaker 3: going somewhere.
• 1:01
  Speaker 2: Unattended fire?
• 1:02
  Speaker 3: Unattended.
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: And within minutes, the entire villa caught fire and within minutes,
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: it burned to the ground. I mean, we all saw
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: the footage recently of the restaurant burning where the balloons
• 1:13
  Speaker 1: went up, how quickly that burnt down.
• 1:15
  Speaker 3: That's what these places are made from.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Made from wood.
• 1:18
  Speaker 3: Up there. And grass and stuff. Yeah. Combustibles. He burnt
• 1:23
  Speaker 3: the place to the ground.
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: I wonder if the spider got out or if the
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: spider was a, you know, victim of the fire.
• 1:31
  Speaker 3: Anyway.
• 1:32
  Speaker 2: Well, it's getting a little hot in here for me.
• 1:35
  Speaker 1: They're saying $ 160, 000 damage because the roof. Which is made
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: from Alangalang, also known as Kogan grass.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: Blady grass. Well, all grass is blady. Or Kunai grass,
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: quickly caught fire and spread. I remember way back in
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: the day, in the 80s, it might have been the
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: first time I went to Bali with my parents.
• 1:57
  Speaker 3: And we're talking the mid-80s.
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: So it was not quite the level of development it
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: is now. But we were staying, we would have been
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: in Sonora and we were staying in a place and
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: we went into the bungalow and there was a rat.
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: So dad went to the front desk to say, look,
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: there's a rat in the room. Can we maybe have some,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: can we either move or can we have some way
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: of dealing with it? And there was not great language,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: you know, understanding between us.
• 2:30
  Speaker 3: In those days back in the mid-80s. They were still,
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: you know, a little bit lost in translation.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: I think Dad might have been suggesting some kind of trap, rat,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: you know, like a giant mousetrap thing or something. Anyway,
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: the guy comes to our room. Dad comes back and
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: he says, oh, he's bringing something. And the guy shows
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: up on the door and he's got a hatchet.
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: That'll do the job. If you can catch it, the hatchet.
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: For the rat.
• 2:52
  Speaker 3: For the rat. For the rat boss. But, you know.
• 2:57
  Speaker 1: No.
• 2:58
  Speaker 2: For the rat to have or for the rat to.
• 2:59
  Speaker 3: No, for us to tackle the rat with. Here is
• 3:02
  Speaker 3: a hatchet. Go the rat yourself. I think we've got
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: another room.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: Well, you know, things have expanded since then. It has.
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: The tourist industry has grown up.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: First of all, we have a better understanding of each
• 3:14
  Speaker 1: other language-wise. And secondly, there's no rafts.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: No.
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: Not in Senua anyway.
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, our producer has just dropped in a song that's,
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: I think, quite appropriate for said story just done. A
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: little bit of Talking Heads. Yeah. Burning down the villa.
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: The villa.
