I don't know what to say. lol. Seriously spiders that size just put me off Australia  

Holy.....fuck

* djdannyp makes a note never to go to Australia

Pfft, its not as if they are common or anything ¬.¬, but yes, there are some scary ones

Yeah we saw a huge huntsman spider on my undercover area last night, was quite scary.

there is no place like home.

*need to remember Australia is out of bounds*

That's why I'm building a house underwater!

I hate spiders too, mostly the hairy ones. I think though that there are other factors that make us be so afraid of them, like movies, magazines etc.

wth are you talking about?

and yeah, i saw that picture krissy posted oin the metro on friday, and although ive always wanted to go to austrafailia, that is probably the biggest reason i dont want to. the fact that i have a phobia of them doesnt help. i always thought it was either instinct, or we have a bad/scary experience with them at a young age a bit like being scared of deep water like me ;p

---

i was talking about the fact we have all these massive spiders bet we have small interwebz to accompany them, i guess that's cos they're lazy like the rest of australia

Yeah i can't sleep if i know theres a spider in the room.
I'm not scared of them, its just the thought that they could be crawling on you in the night or drop from the ceiling onto you.

Pest control?

seriously...

all the spiders here live outside

Apart from all the "spiders eating big stuff", I actually find spiders quite interesting and on the contrary - cute.

I find a flame-thrower is useful for getting rid of the little critters

More like the bush.

I live in the bush and sure I've seen one of these bad boys before, I thought the size that I saw was impressive but dam looking at the one posted made the one I saw look like a baby.

But don't make this scare you from coming to Australia, it's pretty rare that'll you bump into something like this. If you're in a city like Sydney you won't bump into anything like this, the only thing that'll you'll bump into that can be deadly is a baby red back spider, which can kill, but more likely just to make you sick. Once you travel into the bush, then you'll find your Spiders, Snakes and all that.

But don't make this scare you, sure Australia has some Deadly things but it's still a beautiful place. We have the outback, Farming Communitys, Snow in places in winter, and a heck of allot more.

So where the bloody hell are ya

Ps: sorry for late reply, meh sue me.

pft. i use the deodrant and lighter combo anytime im at a friends house drunk, outside/in a field drunk, anytime there's a spider or something i want to burn when im drunk, and just in case krissy decides to find me after all the clues ive given and things ive said over the my time being here, plus its a great way to warm your feet up too.

I think you need a new hobby
