As far as i am concerened, Australia is the best country in the world. As far as deadly creatures go, I live on the North Shore in Sydney and in the space of a week I have Killed 2 deadly spiders, 1 funnel web and a white tail so they do exist. (Sorry all u really really greenies but i wasnt goin to let them hang around) But earlier in the year i got bittten by a black house spider, so u don't have to live in the bush to get these spiders.... Yikes
Oh I had a white tail in the house last week. I do try my best not to kill the Huntsmen but I'm not mucking about with the white tails and besides they know the rules! You wanna live don't be coming into my space!
You can keep ya funnel webs though! :eek:
I suppose the deadliest spider I see around here is the red back and I mean you'd have to be bloody slow to the doctor to be killed by one of them these days.
I mean Norway and Iceland have fuck all daylight in the winter, too much of it in the summer (how do ya sleep in THAT?) and they're way too expensive. Everything that moves in Australia can kill ya Canada's simply too big and shouldn't be on this list by default.
So yep, Ireland should be number 1
Seriously Hels, nothing against Norway or Iceland but they wouldn't even make my top 5. But Ireland would even though it's too fecking cold!
:eek: with all the talk of mozzies eating ya alive and crocodiles killing ya and stuff... you two are REALLY doin a great job convincing us that Oz ain't so dangerous after all :eek:
deadly shells for fuck sake???
I think he meant the stone fish. If he did mean a deadly shell I'm really not sure I know what he's talking about anyway.
Only crocs I've seen have been in crocodile parks.
And the mozzies won't get ya if ya remember the Aeroguard and avagoodweekend!
well it rarely goes below freezing during the day in winter here and at least in the summer you can go outside without dropping dead from heatstroke... and... eh... what's a drought?
a drought is when the pub runs out of beer, mate.
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

you do your best not to kill a huntsman? why would you even contemplate killing one? i just let them roam around. eventually they disappear somewhere and then theyre no longer my problem. or i take them outside.
and i swear the first time i see a funnel web in my house, i am out of there FOREVER. theyre too big, theyre too hairy and what the hell do they need all those legs for anyway? oh and yeah theyre deadly.
hear my name

Wembley? We all believe!
Copenhagen?? your light made us stars
Chicago 07? And love
What a different life
Had I not found this love with you
Seriously Hels, nothing against Norway or Iceland but they wouldn't even make my top 5. But Ireland would even though it's too fecking cold!
Yeh, it probably would be too cold for an aussie in the winter it's still pretty bearable... I'm probably one of the only people in the world who actually likes the Irish weather rarely too hot and rarely too cold. No extremes.

That's right. I give them a fighting chance to leave the building but if they resist then I'm sorry but they gotta go.
I've improved. Used to be if they were in the house they had to die straight away no questions asked. Now they get some time, an open window and they're encouraged to leave.
I doubt I'll ever be like my Nan, who picks them up in her bare hands and takes them out. :eek:

Yeah, perhaps if we're talking small spiders, like those little jumpy guys but not huntsmen. I don't mind watching them go about their business outside. We've got a Golden Orb spider in the garden that comes out this time of year and he's fascinating to watch and very pretty too. But I can't cope with their unpredictability in the house.
But if I wasn't actually sleeping at your house and just visiting I could probably watch tiny spiderlings do that and think it was cool too.

I have had it with these motherfucking huntsman on this motherfucking house!
i have the biggest spider phobia ever. i am terrified of them. no chance of me killing them though cate i could never get close enough to one to do it.
Yeah. Weird that the other three countries in the top four are all. . . well, fucking cold! I think they forgot to take that into account.
I have a canadian friend who says he much prefers australia because he hates spending six months of the year locked indoors with nothing to do but drink beer and watch ice hockey on TV.
those are who we refer to as "hosers" ... can't wait for the snow to fall!!
but for sure - if you don't like winter - best to live somewhere else
I'd actually be mostly concerned with swimming in Australia. Step on a rock that isn't a rock, it's a deadly seashell. Deadly seashell? wtf?
hehe Ahnimus i lived by the beach all my life until recently. swimming in Australia is no more dangerous than anywhere else, as long as you follow the basic safety rules. nothing to be concerned about, apart from how beautiful it is. this is just around the corner from my house. 3 minute walk.

I have a pet Harry Huntsmen in my room. He comes out for a look aroung once in a while. Big bugger. Apparently in Australia no matter where you are you are never further than 3 metres from a spider. Keeps the bugs and mozzies at bay.

The Sunshine Coast is temperate not cold. Yea, that's part of Canada.
It's the best place in the world. If you want temperate weather hang out around the ocean, if you want winter fun, head up into the rockies.

Yeah, I was completely and irrationally arachnaphobic, but I've managed to control it somewhat as I've gotten older.
I don't mind them being around, just don't want them in the house. Especially when I'm sleeping. Had far too many of the hairy fuckers try to hop into bed with me! :eek: Fuck that!!
Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet eating her curds and whey.
Along came a spider that crawled up inside her and...
Wait. How does it go?

I just don't really consider the wildlife dangerous. I mean I know it is, but I've grown up with the notion that if you leave it alone it'll pretty much leave you alone. Right?
Yeah, except the big ones. Then its up to them to decide whether or not they'll leave you alone while you cower behind a rock like a sissy girl with your heart thumping in your chest shitting your pants and wonder if you're going to get eaten. Trust me on that one

That's a cool ad! Did you know they had to teach actual musicians how to use the new "instruments"
Although it is a bit of a rip off of those other guys that were doing it first.
