Ads Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I saw a couple of corking, great big Golden Orb weavers i Queensland back in June. Really big girls they were. I also saw something I couldn't identify down in Sydney, smaller than an Orb Weaver, but still pretty big, but not hairy enough to be a Huntsman or a Funnel Web. I love spiders.

lapal_fan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Would any of you eat a large house spider (lets say, body is as big as a 50p and it's legs are the radius of 3 inches) for £50? I think I would. I caught a big one the other day, it was quite thick. I was trying to catch it in my porch harmlessly, but it made me jump with how heavy it was and I crushed its abdomen, which was full of brown juicy, dead stuff. sorry mr spider Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I wouldnt hold one for £50, got a real phobia, couldnt think of an amount of money that would make me think I could even hold a spider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You wouldn't even hold one for say, £100? That's cray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethRDR Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I'm considering making notches in the side of Henry hoover (not with my penis mind, sorry Ruge) (sorry donnie) for each successful kill and sticking one of these on the side of him. I have a simple code; anything breaching the perimeter with more than four legs or two eyes is fair game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seat68 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 You wouldn't even hold one for say, £100? That's cray. £100? no its not enough, not kidding, never been good with them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Mostly I don't mind them, but sometimes I get a little bit scared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lapal_fan Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I grab ones that are smaller than a 50p, if they're bigger than that, I use tissue Try not to kill them though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turnbull Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 The conker thing is true. Just put a conker in each corner of the room and you won't see any spiders in there. Don't ask me about the science yo. But it works If that fails, hit them with the things! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paddywhack Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I hate them and I kill them if they're in the house. If there's one in the bath the tap goes straight on. One of the size of a toddler's hand had fallen into my girlfriends tart burner candle thing last night, she blew the flame out and now it's stuck in the wax with just the tips of it's legs sticking out. It made me feel sick, put me off my coco pops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samjp26 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I was stoned out of my face last night and watched a spider outside for a good 30 minutes. He had caught a fly, killed it, wrapped it up and looked set to carry it on up to his house up his cobweb. Then some other spider a bit bigger than him came out of nowhere and tried to sabotage his plans, safe to say that the 2nd spider got **** up and had to run away. Fascinating stuff. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B94villa Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 Next time you see a spider in a web, drop a small stick or something onto the web (not so big that it breaks the threads). The way they tie off each strand and work their way around the object until it just falls away is really cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted September 15, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted September 15, 2014 My garden appears to be infested with them. Mowed the grass on saturday and it was like a scene out of godzilla. With my lawnmower being godzilla and the spiders being the residents of Tokyo (or wherever Godzilla hangs out) There were hundreds of them running for their lives. As long as they stay in the garden and don't fancy chilling in the house I'm ok with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarewsEyebrowDesigner Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 They'll be in your house before too long. Better get the flamethrower out now and save yourself the trouble. When you're finished, put a few charred corpses on cocktail sticks around the perimeter as a warning. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharkyvilla Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 I used to kill them but now I'm really paranoid about making a mess on the walls of my flat and losing my deposit. Yes I know they are tiny **** and hardly make a mark but still in my mind I'm scared they're going to burst like a sachet of ketchup. I just use a cup or glass and chuck them out the front door now. My fear of the wee ones has lessened since someone found a huntsman in their lunchbox when I was down under, now that was large. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
