Its weird huh? I've jumped out of perfectly good aeroplanes, had teeth pulled without anaesthetic, broken 9 bones and walked into hospital, regularly put a bare hand into 70,000 bees, I think snakes are gorgeous creatures. But no, if I was James Bond, you would just have to put that thing in the room and I'd tell you everything! I can see the silliness - but I think we all have irrational fears. My Dad was the same, I've tried not to show my horror of them to my daughter so as not to "pass it on". Its something in the way the move <shudders again>

you have just described me :).......i'll stand back to back with you and fight the spider hoard !

I'm not a fan of our eight legged fly killers, I don't mind them if I can't see them. That thing wouldn't last 5 seconds on my wall, I'm deadly with a joggling ball.......

My oh my, that´s a freaky little thing.
It would not live long in my house. We have some big spiders over here to, and some of them just loves the cosy atmosphere of the human house. It doesn´t help just taking them outside, they´ll be back in your house before you know it.
In the old days, I would just let them be. But now I kill everyone I see in my house except for those cute little zebra spiders http://fotografi.n3po.com/cache/Bilder/Zebra-edderkopp-kroppen-Detaljer_540.jpg.
I was fine with the big ******** as long as they minded their own business, but TWICE I´ve woken up without feelings in half of my hand or foot from spider bites.
Some say it´s these ones but I can´t be sure: http://www.diskusjon.no/uploads/monthly_10_2010/post-166172-1286141947,701_thumb.jpg.

Don´t bite the hand that feeds you!

Its that time of the year when the beasties start coming out. :D

Huge, fast moving spiders I just cant warm to at all. The biggest one I ever seen was when I was dismantalling my nans shed with my uncle when I was about 8 or 9. It legged it up a fence panel, had a crap, then buggered off through a gap. I'll never forget it - bloody monster it was!!

That must be a pretty effective defense tactic, I mean what would you do if some stranger was dancing the macarena in an intimidating mad-man like fashion.

Saying that, perhaps the best option is to fight fire with fire and soon you'll have a disco.

I think my dogs eat them in the house, I'm with BR, love snakes but spiders aren't my thing. Think Harvestman needs to run some arachnophobia courses...
