Spiders
Turbo Mini Forums

Okay so I sat down in the kitchen drinking my cup of tea, and saw this strange looking thing in the corner. At 1st I thought it was a bit of plant stuck in a cobweb.

That was until I had a closer look...

I then suddenly retreated to the saftey of behind the dog.

And as im home alone while both my brothers are at work and mum and dad are in france (except he still comes on here :p (paul s) ), I thought i'd post some pictures up on here.

In all my time in Thailand I saw a few snakes, hardly any spiders and a tiny scorpion. I think this beasty beats them all!



Here it is with a normal sized spider for our house.

You herbert, that's a good enough reason to get out into the barn and get wire brushing!

Set fire to the house and leave, it's the only way

yeah im gonna go paint the subbie in a minute and finish removing the part of that sill. I'll wait for someone to get home before i start grinding though.

I think I might trap it in a jar and drill holes in the lid.

It'll be waiting for you sturgeo

That's a tiddler compared to the ones in my house. They don't bite. I always pick them up and show my boys.

Leave the poor thing alone, I'd rather have spiders than flies!

Well this spider ate all the flies.
No doubt you would have named it 5 mins after you get home.

Nothing funnier than seeing a dog stomp on a spider.

Own the day

Well I would be more worried about the state of the plaster/rendering and cracks on the wall than the poor little spider......

If you want big ones, come to Suffolk.

Schrödinger's cat - so which one am I ???

is it true we eat a load of these in our sleep or is that one of those bollocks urban myth type stories?

"Turbo's make torque, and torque makes fun"

"did you know you can toast potato waffles?"

Urban myth.

... and that's not a spider, this is a spider



or look up bird eating spiders for something really creepy.

Well if spiders freak you out dont watch the movie Arachnophobia !
bRRRRaaaahah ! Freaky shite !

"So wat we gonna do tonight Brain?"
"Same thing we do evernight Pinky!"
"Try to take over the world!"

Our house is a haven for Spiders. The wife wont kill them as they keep the flies down.

I've not seen one that big before though. I shall lay awake in bed tonight wondering where he has got too.

Apologies for the cracked wall and poor plaster. Just another one of those DIY jobs that does not get done due to the Minis.

spiders where the missus lives are unreal, even the dog wont attack the big ones
it does however carry the small ones around for a while before putting them on your lap, still moving but very slavery :)

Yes i moved to the darkside

I fucking hate spiders, i know they are good, but to me they are like jumping of a multi story.....

I swear to bejesus that we had a spider that was bigger than a standard bathroom tile!
In fact we used to have a picture of the fucker.

shit i;m shuddering at just the thought of it
