Still, they don't mean to harm you, and will try to escape you if they can.

ah, yes thats true.


what happened. we were on our way to the bar, some dudes front garden was loaded with massive webs and huntsmans.

the missus brushed the hedge, web stuck to her shoulder, spiders woke up and came charging down the web.

I shoved her into the road and the web snapped.

the piccies are scary

[EternalOptimist]

Now they are really frightening.

Just as well we only have their smaller cousins hereabouts.

Reisling! ugh!

Have just spotted a ruddy great big spider myself - in the scullery. Common brown house spider, but a beauty!

I just had to get used to it

[EternalOptimist]

No. Spiders are our friends and should be encouraged.

How would you like some giant pulling your legs off just because you were an annoying berk?

Weapons of mass destruction.

try the surgical approach , pull its bluddy legs off

Oh, bugger, I had managed to forget it wa there.

Right, I'm off to get the vacuum cleaner...

... sorted.

You do realise that once you turn the vacuum cleaner off, the spider will rouse itself, shake off the dust, look for the dust-bag exit, and eventually emerge dazed and one leg short, through the hose of the appliance.

It will be pretty well pissed off by then, and wanting to wreak revenge upon you, in its own small spidery way.

Never piss off spiders.

They are more determined and indestructible than you think.
