I've never seen a hand sized spider in the UK
Although I did meet an impressively large Huntsman in Queensland once.

I may have been scaremongering slightly
The spider's body was not colossal by any means, but with leg-span it was the size of my hand. Don't want you thinking that the spiders in Norfolk have taken all the evolution that the humans rejected

Are you sure it wasn't a daddy long legs?

if they didn't drop down into the shower while I was using it, I would be able to cope with them.

Inconsiderate shites
I've never known what the fuss is with spiders but they're not poisonous in this country

Poppet, remind me how much of a flying fuck you give about cricket? Am attempting to establish whether we can still be friends over the winter

They are actually poisonous in the UK
Just not sufficiently toxic to cause humans any problem.

There are 6 species of spider indigenous to the United Kingdom
whose venom is capable of incapacitating a large mammal.

Thanks New Scientist, I really wanted to know that.

Only when players are taking bribes to throw a game
Otherwise it's great. It was the only sport I was ever any good at, and the only one I enjoyed playing.

Oh good
I will have to find someone else to mock then

whoever it is, as long as it's not me, I don't care.

Actually, they're venomous.
Poisonous refers to things that can harm you if you eat them. Venomous is things that harm you when they try to eat you...

Sure that's not just your pubes
washing down the drain?

That was insensitive
Everyone knows Australians don't have pubes
(Darth Foxtrot A one-man army dedicated to making fetch happen, Thu 23 Sep 2010, 9:11, Reply)

No?
But I've seen Aussie pubes. Maybe she wasn't a native...

I'm first generation aussie on my dad's side.
I'm half Dutch.
(Poppet some assembly required., Thu 23 Sep 2010, 9:16, Reply)

also, this conversation about whether or not I have pubes is a bit personal surely?

Welcome to B3ta.
Edit - I wasn't referring to you when I was on about having seen Aussie pubes!
( K2k6 has a proper job these days, Thu 23 Sep 2010, 9:18, Reply)

So you're blonde and 6 feet tall then?
Or at least half blonde and 3 feet tall, if you're half Dutch.

Don't know how that affects your minge though.

Is there something wrong with it?

no, it's just not a part of my body I generally discuss in public.

(Poppet some assembly required., Thu 23 Sep 2010, 9:20, Reply)

But we're all inside at the moment
so it's not very public.

It's a common enough subject
Minges in general, that is. Not yours in particular. But today, I seem to have started a discussion about yours. Sorry.
