He was almost too big for the diameter of the glass I got to put over him. Had I kept him he'd have been called Big Malcolm, Scourge of the Living Room.

Hehe thats a great name!!
The thing that worries me the most about them is when you see one in the corner of the room and think to yourself... I'll get that later... but when later comes its gone and is probably hiding in your pillowcase!! *shudders*

He lived in the corner for some time, and on the odd occasion I would feed him daddy long legs. Horrible to watch though..

Release him, he's done nothing to harm you.

Being cruel to things that haven't done anything to you really narks me. I know which viewpoint I'd rather hold.

you said 'unless you're one of those buddhists with a broom you're not allowed to comment on animal cruelty'.
Obviously I'm paraphrasing, but still. Killing an animal and using it for it's products (meat for food, leather for clothing etc) is something that's happened since the dawn of time and is something I have less of a problem with as at least the animal hasn't just died because of sport or because someone thinks it's funny. Leaving an animal in a glass to starve to death for no reason other than for your own amusement is very different, in my eyes.
HOWEVER you're entitled to your opinion, as I am to mine.

well argued actually.
But I still couldn't give a shit about anything as small as a spider.
It's because I'm a total shit you see.

They're not even the two extremes. I think you're talking nonsense because you don't like vegetarians.

Mind if I TJ?
If anyone can help I will be their slave and buy them a drink of their choice.
OKAY, SO:
Itunes cannot connect to the net. It can't access Gracenotes and times out on the Itunes Store. It works fine on my PC, just not the other one on the network. The PC is online, and Itunes is allowed on Zonealarms (I've tried it with no firewall, and I still get nothing). I then tried WMP and that, similarily, cannot access the net or its trackname database. HERLP!?

Then they fly to the window and get caught between the blinds and the window and make terrible wing noises. Then I can't sleep.

A spider would generally just walk across your desk then bugger off, a moth on the other hand would fucking fly in your face repeatedly even when you've tried twatting it away.

That is a Cardinal spider (Tegenaria gigantea), it's the biggest spider in Britain. Next month is their mating season, so people in the South West can expect them wandering around their houses.

in fact it was only yesterday I was thinking about how glad I was that I hadn't seen any this year. I thought to soon perhaps.
