    Are u fkn kidding? Australia is the best country to live in in the world. Fair dinkum ur scared of a little spider? Earlier this yr i got bitten by 1, i survived to telll the story. Im just lucky it was venomous, but i think it only just bit me. So in the last month i killed a funnel web spider and a white tail spider. But u dont have to be that pedantic, we dont all live in the bush, and encounters wioth spiders are rare. Like once a day.... Jst kidding. U will love aus. I'm not scared of spiders or snakes, i dont like em, but im not scared of them, But i am scared of mice, i have a massive fear of them.....

    See, nothing to be scared of. I f you can deal with a great white, a little old funnelweb spider is nothing.
    Actually, paralysis ticks are ways more dangerous than both. WE get em here regularly, which is why our horses are so tame. We have to check them top to bottom,earholes, bumholes, testicles and all.
    oh I DO see the irrationality of it all... that I like great whites but wee spiders scare the shit out of me... and not even as much as moths :eek: they TERRIFY me. And I'm pretty sure there's nowhere in the world with killer moths.

    Jeanie, I think you're on drugs :p but thank you for taking the picture for me though :)

    pjfan, after that big talk about how you're tough and not scared of anything... then massively terrified of mice? :o

    «¤tîg®ê§§¤» we probably get about as many drive bys as you do.

    :D You'll probably do a search on him now and find out that it can kill you if you come within two feet of it cos it has these powerful deadly rays or something :eek:

    Helen this all sounds very scary! :eek: And I am HATE spiders...even if it is the tiniest one I make someone kill it for me. :o Sounds creepy...I don't think I could watch a show like that!

    But I think the boys in Oz are probably even scarier! They seem so cheeky! :p
