If it looks anything like this it is Australian and its bite hurts but it is not deadly poiseness.

My son is in Australia at present and he send me the pic.
I dont mind spiders , as pololady said they do kill off the other nasty insects in the house ( only spiders i kill are the red spider mite , ok not really spiders but they kill my garden plants and house plants GAH !!! lol ). BUT in saying that when I was married and staying in sunny East Lothian my ex was up the loft and asked me to come up with a hammer!!!
Now she was brought up on a farm and nothing fazed her except for this spider........ she shoved me up the ladder to be confronted by the biggest spider i've ever seen outside of the zoo tarantula's !!!. This thing had to be 2" long about an inch wide , had huge fat hairy legs and was a mottled/stripey brown colour. Well lets just say it took 2 bleeding hard hits with a 2lb hammer to kill the thing and the crunching noise it made was orrible :eeek: blink
Never did find out where the thing had come from but i'm 100% certain it wasn't a native of this island !!!

:shock: I'm absolutely terrified of spiders. I've seen a few in my classroom and only half-heartedly protested when the brave boys have done the squashing thing to appease the girls. I dread any of the kids finding out - if/when they do, I will no doubt be inundated with lots of presents from the undergrowth in the playground. mad

The 8-legged beasty went into hiding last night.
It seriously is HUGE! :shock:
Strangely the over-sized moth and all the flying daddy-longlegs have disappeared (along with half a chick from the fridge) :uhoh:
I am being extra vigilant today!

without out a doubt this is the funniest post i ever read! i sooooo needed some light relief and i just got it, thanks Pololady, if i was u i would check its not a swinger in disguise? davej perhaps? lol
btw sorry to laugh in the face of your fear, and i also cant stand the furry little so n so's

Trap it, gas it, skin it, make yourself a pair of thumbless gloves.
I think you might have something similar to one we had a few years back which.....and this isn't a lie....we could here it bloody walk up the wall :shock:

Yes I think I can hear it under the desk (tapping the chicken bones together). :shock:
I am trying to think - have a bought a large bunch of bananas lately or a tropical plant? confused Or a didjeridoo - didn't someone once buy an authentic didjeridoo, and the resident very poisionous spider bit them on the lip while they were playing? ( :? or am I falling for another urban myth?)
Have you checked on your shoulder? that is where the really nasty spiders end up in all the films I watch.

As a father of three girls I sympathise with Pololady's fear of a spider.
When we got one in our house then I would have four screaming women(3 girls and Mum) to contend with. I once came back from a w/e away to find they had not used the bath as there had been a spider in it since I left. If that was a man he would be called some smelly names but girls are allowed to be squemish with a spider faceing them hehehehehe.
I am lucky I am not worried by the beasts so am able to pick them up and put them in the garden. Our pampus grass was full of them and not even the dog would pee on it pmsl
And don't even get me started on the THUNDERSTORM escapade lmao.
sorry Pololady I digress.
If you want a spider catching man to help then I am available but I guess by the time I get there he'll have fallen madly in love with you and be like putty in your hands heheheheh
:twisted: Taff666 :twisted:
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh.....i hate spiders...i would call the police and evacuate the premises!!
biggrin :!: :D
lol

I am not afraid of spiders!
But this is no ordinary spider - if it went in the bathroom I have no doubt it would be able to shut the door behind itself.
It is still in hiding - though god knows where a spider big enough to carry a chicken could find to hide. And don't say in a shoe - if it went after my shoes the bloody thing is big enough to be wearing them. :shock:
Don't suppose this is the time to mention that the average human ingests about 6 spiders in their lifetime confused:
Picture it, you are asleep, dead to the world, mouth slightly open, spinny comes along looking for a nice, warm, moist little cul-de-sac to spin its web in...
Whoops :!:
So, if that spider is annoying you, your response should be simple (and ozone friendly):
Relax and go to sleep.
wink

But this mother flucker is like having an extra lodger. I am concerned it is not native to these shores :shock:

I think you've just recently disturbed it from where it usually lives, either in the garden or in the house, you're not doing any DIY are you by any chance?
Actually, why don't you ask him/her to get to work on your Anderson? Just go out and get another 3 sledges and you'll be away!
Spiders.
They have to die.
I hate it when I see them in the house, I hate it more when they vanish if I look away for a second.
They have to die!

News Flash – the beast is captured!(but my shag has gone)
This evening I had a ‘friend’ over who was well aware of the amplitudinous arachnid (huge spider) lurking upstairs in the computer room. My friend explains he has a genuine fear of spiders and asks if we can say in the living room.
A change is as good as a rest me thinks…. wink
We start to snuggle. There is a dvd playing, curtains closed, candles lit, drinks poured, bean bags and giant cushions to roll around in on the floor. Clothes begin to loosen (well disappear actually). Eight o’clock and all is well. :twisted:
At approx. I get the girliest scream in my ear. :shock: I jump up to see what the problem was – as my friend is running into the kitchen bolt shouting “fucking hell, fucking hell, oh fuck, Jesus, fuck” confused .
The Herculean hairy web-weaver was dogging us from the top of the television mad .
I asked my friend to bring in a plastic cup – he refuses point blank (wuss). Well when I say refused... it was more like :fuckinghell: :fuckinghell: :fuckinghell:
Armed with my plastic cup I approach the beast. The cheeky fucker doesn’t run off but stands it’s ground and rears up, flicking it’s front legs at the looming cup and spreads its remaining legs out - to look as intimidating as it possibly can :shock: .
As I am just about to make the final quick slam of the cup over the brut (before it decides to do another runner) I realise something – something very disturbing. It is NOT going to fit into the cup! :doh:
Too late – the cup lunge had commenced. :scared:
The ends of a few of its legs were now sticking out from under the cup, so I had to wiggle it about a bit to get it all in.
I ran into the kitchen to tell my friend it was safe to come back in. By this time he was dressed, white as a snowman and seemed to be perspiring a lot more that a few minutes previous rolleyes .
Unconvinced this was the same spider from upstairs, my friend decided he should go as he was most likely to up-chuck :uhoh: at any moment and was more likely to be sent into space on the next shuttle mission than be able to ‘perform’ after seeing (and being in the same room as) the super-size spidey.
So I now have the beast captured – but no company dunno
I wonder if I take it to the club if I can get the Jacuzzi to myself on a Friday night
:grin: :grin: :grin:
I am sitting here all goosebumpy and cold now. :cry: What have you done/do you intend to do with it?

I don't know dunno
I am more concerned over what am I going to do for the rest of the evening sad
Oh well - more wallpaper stripping I guess rolleyes
If it's female it might have lots of spider babies that will be just as huge :shock: Take it somewhere if you think it's really a foreign species. Or kill the bloody thing. God I feel sick.
It's tapping on the cup lol

Well it sure ain't never gonna sneak up on no courting couple with those legs
Not purchased bananas today have you confused:
Just coz the 'thing' is captured and PoloLady's freind has gone home I don't think now the time to talk about sexy fruit.
With those legs and size it'll be be able to tap on the passenger window and open the drivers door at the same time. :twisted:
Agggggg - we have the making of arachnaphobia II .

Yeah-right!
I am going to let it out of it's container and ask it to say "cheese" whilst I take a snap-shot for the family album - NOT!
The beast is now free.
I slid card under the cup and took it outside. I then thought if it can get that far around the house it could easily get back to the house from the pavement - so I walked up the road a short distance. I then thoought it was big enough to hang on to the inside of the cup if it wanted and wondered how I would let it go. So I walked further up the street to the Post Office and threw the cup into a rubbish bin. (I have to admit at this point I did start to run away - incase it followed me) redface .
It has plenty of choices what to do from there - it is right next to a bus stop, so if it wants to go into town, catch a movie or something dunno
I am just keeping my fingers crossed that it is the one from upstairs :uhoh:
