I had dinner with my sister and aunt last night and was telling them about it... they didn't believe it could be that big. When they dropped me home, I showed them... they really couldn't believe it.
I've never seen one that big in Ireland either... in fairness apparently they're more common in England and I've seen a few almost as big over there. They DEFINITELY have much bigger spiders in England than here.

Had I not found this love with you
weirdly enough my wife banged on the bedroom floor last night when she went upstairs and i went up to see what the deal was.. ok i was hoping it was for a shag.. but it was a giant spider behind the mirror and she hates spiders... i've seen bigger spiders than the one last night but it was just uncanny that this thread happened yesterday and then that night there it was on our wall.
i dont save the fuckers though.. i grab them with bog-roll and then flush them away... i hate them and if one of my kids saw one that size they'd be scarred for life methinks.
but we'll get loads more in the next month or so... biggest one i saw was about 2 years ago in my wee-est girls top drawer... size of my hand :eek:
oh scary... 40000 morbidly obese christians wearing fanny packs invading europe is probably the least scariest thing since I watched an edited version of The Care Bears movie in an extremely brightly lit cinema.
It was fucking HUGE... I've never seen a spider so big. Eventually he trapped it in a fishtank he had... and added another big spider (what I would USUALLY call huge). Within a few minutes, the big one caught the littler big one and started EATING it. It had big fangs and hairy legs and a face with big eyes that actually follow you and everything. One of the creepiest things I've ever seen.
It was like national geographic in my own living room
:eek:
Oh my GOD.
I wouldn't have came home.
I had a mouse one time and I vacated the premises and wouldn't come back for a few days until I thought it was gone.
And I was so scared I called my Dad and then he called the police. seriously. I was mortified. They were laughing at me so hard and I was like, I'm so sorry! :(

Off-beat news that's so strange it must be true. SMITHTOWN, N.Y. --
An orange tarantula with venomous fangs was rescued Friday after its owner said he could no longer care for it.
"This is the kind of spider that nightmares are made of," said Roy Gross, chief of the Suffolk County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.
He said the spider is aggressive and can jump 3 feet and bite with its large fangs. The bites are dangerous to humans.
The spider, known as an ornate golden baboon, has a fat body 5 inches long that is covered in orange hair. Male baboon spiders can have a leg span of about 8 inches, and the female is even larger.
Gross said he was glad the owner, whose name was not released, called the SPCA instead of dumping the spider.
"This spider is so aggressive, it will bite you just to bite you," he said. "It's not a pet you want to cuddle up with at night."
Baboon spiders have a life span of up to 25 years, are native to southern Africa and spend most of their time near their nests, which are usually holes in the ground.
The SPCA took the spider to a sanctuary for reptiles and other animals.

I've never seen that clock picture before. That WAS scary!
I've seen a number of programmes about spiders in Australia. They all appear to be dangerous and scary. Is that true? I would be scared to put my socks on in the morning!

Like most things about Australia's dangerous animals, it should be taken with a grain of salt.
If Australia's animals are as dangerous as everybody claims they are, nobody would live here anymore.
The most dangerous animal in Australia is the horse, killing approx 17 aussies every year. The most dangerous venemous animal is the bee, killing approx 11 aussies every year (those stats are a couple of years out of date).
the coolest thing is when a huntsman's eggs hatch and you walk into a room and all these little spiderlings are up there on the ceiling. you spray them with bugspray and they all drop from the ceiling on their spiderstrings. it's like paratroopers landing in europe.
hear my name

*shudders* Spiders freak me out sooo easily, but they are so fascinating... They are one of my biggest fears and I don't even know why... They freak me out so bad that I won't sleep if a spider is in the room until it is caught... But I won't kill them because then I feel bad... I mean, they just scared me, they shouldn't deserve to die for such a thing! But still... *shudders* Wolf spiders are the worst...

I know what ya mean... I don't like them in my room if I can SEE them and if they're moving. I don't mind if they disappear, I can just tell myself they've left the room. I don't like people killing them though :(

I remember when I was a teenager I used to wake my dad up at odd hours in the night/morning to capture the wolf spiders that dwelled in my room. The fucking things would just end up EVERYWHERE... The stories I have... I too am fine with them disappearing... Well not wolf spiders, but tiny spiders But seriously, the wolf spiders that used to dwell in my room really freaked the hell out of me. For example, I would go to sit on a bean bag chair and it was right there! *shudders* Another time for days I had been waking up with itchy bites all over me... One night I just got the sudden urge to fluff my pillow and when I picked it up there was a HUGE furry wolf spider beneath it... I was so freaked I couldn't even sleep in that bed! But the worst was when I went to put on a pair of pants and I felt something moving in my legs... It's the quickest I've ever taken pants off... Let me just say that.
Anyway... I used to have my dad come and capture the things, but all he would do was kill them and let me just say that he always used a frying spatula to kill these things because a regular fly swatter simply wasn't strong enough! :eek: When he killed them I felt bad, so many times I would try to capture them in jars and stuff, but they jumped! Scariest moments in life... Even when I caught them though I was too afraid to open the jars to feed them or allow them air because I feared they would get out, so it was a lost cause :(
Luckily where I live now Mr. Cateeto and I haven't come across any of those evil things... Just smaller spiders that don't affect me as much, but when he came home from Tennessee with brown rucruises (spelling?), I flipped the hell out! They were long dead and all that remained were the bodies of them... But still....

Blah.
We have wolf spiders in CA. & they are really big, fast & aggresive!! I'm not afraid of small (harmless) spiders but wolf spiders are so scary - they almost chase you.....Cateeto - thank God the brown recluse was dead - otherwise you'd be - they're extremely venomous & cause severe tissue damage if not treated immediately - we have those in CA. too but mostly in very dry areas. I'd faint if I even saw one! My friend's Mom was bitten by one on the finger & luckily they saved it.
And Hey - Bathgate - I read that article about the taratula too. One of my friends used to have a whole collection of them but he never got one of those - even being an experienced collector, he decided against that one. Good idea.
Hey everybody! I saw a spider today that had a 9 inch dick. He rear naked choked and then mouth fucked a raccoon. I think his name was Phil. I'll never forget that shit.
I think he was wearing a Reds cap backwards. I didn't get too close. I didn't want to step on his dick.
