i'd get my bro to take it from here but he won't even be on the same floor as it
:rolleyes: Australia, where women are gutsy and blokes are sheilas!
No wonder I kill my own now, my brother would be equally as useless.
Thong and some mortein I think. Although I usually freak out so much I hit so hard with the thong after spraying I tend to hurt my fingers with the force of the blow.
my spider philosophy is if i cant see them then they dont exist. though i am unafraid of spiders i still like to be able to see them. huntsmen are allowed to live on my walls. in fact, atm i have a beautiful black spider living in my laundry. shes grown quite a bit since she first showed up and has spun her web across the entire bottom half of the window. recently i noticed a piece of pink chalk stuck in her web so obviously someone in the house doesnt share my love of spiders. but they know better than to kill them
hear my name
take a good look
this could be the day
hold my hand
lie beside me
i just need to say

i read once that at any minute of any day, even when we are asleep, there is a spider within 5 metres of us
actually i think it may have even been 1 metre, but my mind tells me its 5 so i can actually go to sleep at night
funnel webs are unmistakeable girlie. theyre big and hairy and angry looking motherfuckers.
Yeah, hard to tell through the dvd cover but it looked not unsimilar in body shape to a female. Either way it's one of the ones I'd avoid and kill pretty darn quick.
I don't really have any up close experience with funnel webs to go by, seeing as we don't have to suffer them here. Only huntsmen (harmless but have to leave the building), red backs (fine if you stay out of the wood pile) or white tails, (dead the moment they're discovered).

LMAO funny image.. .:o
guys - show their true colours around spiders.. spot on
well the sydney funnel web spider is a bit famous isnt it? but ive never seen one in the wild, only in captivity. but rest assured the very first time i see one on my property i will be moving far far away. red backs were always around when we were younguns' and we thought nothing of them. aaah the innocent naivety of children.
hear my name
take a good look

a red back was in my shoe and bit me 3 times 40kms into a drive up to qld - accom all booked, doctor wanted me to stay, so i lied and said it didnt hurt too much :rolleyes:
... it kept me up all night and id say the pain was right up their with childbirth - all the way up my leg ...

Yeah, I read somewhere once, maybe Reader's Digest, that we swallow at least 5 spiders in our sleep during our lifetime. :eek: Actually I can't remember the actual number because I'm still trying to wipe the horrible image of it from my mind. :eek:
so what ya gonna do then? I suggest just leaving it there til it dies that's what I'd do anyway... even though I'd feel soooooo guilty afterwards I'm WAY too chicken to do anything that involves moving them

awww.. pink.. 'cos it's a girl? :D
i really do have a healthy respect for them, i'm still a little scarred from a bite i got not too far back..
guys - show their true colours around spiders.. spot on
am i gonna get guts everywhere..
haha! Yeah, I've never seen such rampant displays of hysteria from some of the toughest blokes ever until a spider shows up, then they're as useless as tits on a bull the lot of em. :rolleyes:
You might get a little guts but a bit of paper towel should clear it up pretty quick.
My thinking is have all you need ready before you lift the lid. Lift the lid quick and spray it fast, then wack down hard with the thong in the other hand.
Hit it repeatedly while your heart tries to escape through your mouth, then take a few calming breaths and scoop it up in a half a roll of paper towel scrunched into a wad and squeeze the crap out of the wad once it's in there.
Chuck that in the bin then go pour yourself a very large glass of Bundy and coke and try to relax. That's usually how it goes here. Well except for the sound effects. There's usually all kinds of screaming goes on.

but we had a nice time up in the sun
Oh that sounds hideous!!!!! :eek: :(
I'm pathological about shaking out my shoes before I put them on. AND I never leave shoes outside. But then I'm forever spraying barrier spray all around the house and all the possible entry point anyway.
Did it take long to recover zenith? That would be just awful I reckon.

seriously doubt it. back then shiny = danger. and ALL spiders to us kids were DANGER!!! now i know better and appreciate them more. they were/are pretty though.

tits on a bull - L M A O :eek:
what an ordeal Jeanie.. i think i may need a few jimmy beams before i start :eek:
haha, how long can a spider go without food or drink?
do they need to drink or do they dhave some crazy bug way of getting water from their food?
What if you thought it had starved to death but was just napping or put itself into some kind of shutdown until you moved the dvd case, then.....BAM!
Ooooh this is a lot more interesting than work i tell ya
you know cos they usually kinda shrivel up :( normally only a few days.
