Took a pic of it on my wall before wrestling the bugger and putting it outside. Oh and found this one dead in a wet patch after washing my car.

how_supra Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 So you blokes are just as scared as us little girls then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradoopa Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Yeah I remember reading all about those, in Iraq if I remember correctly? The story I read mentioned some people had woken up to find part of their leg/arm/hand missing as the big bugger had chewed on it in the night. People don't wake up because they inject you with novocaine so you feel no pain! Frightening eh? I didn't see any in Iraq the other month but when i went into Oman... oh yeah these b**tards can run, and the size was enough for me to shit myself. Ugly mothers.

caliAl Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Found this one in my mates back garden. Looked it up on the internet and it's called a Wasp Spider. It was bigger than a 50p coin and looked proper evil... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supradoopa Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 No it isn't They say 25mph is false and it's more like 10mph Mate once you've been chased by one then you know these guys are quick they come out at night time and run towards your shadow so if you run it runs, there's no chance of outrunning them. You've just got to stay nice and still and they just wander off. Or eat your leg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You've just got to stay nice and still and they just wander off. Given they aren't as big as the hoax pictures suggest I suspect most people would simply kick / stamp the f*ck out of it until it's mush.

Supragal Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 I hate the creepy f*ckers! Everytime I go into the garden I seem to walk into a web and end up with a tarantula on my face of shoulder. Can't go near them anymore - have to hoover them up using the extension pipe! Worse thing is with a Dyson you can see the buggers running around inside the dust collector... wow, you need a newer dyson, mine proper kills them before they are visible!!
