    Did the girl that wasn't eaten make it?

    Im moving there in september. Out of all of the above I hope I don't see a massive spider. Would quite happily get in the sea rather than be in the same room as a ozzy spider

    There are allegedly white sharks off the south coast. Watching and waiting.

    They are definitely in the med.

    I heard that. Read a story that they reckon great whites breed off the coast of Italy. That said you don't hear of shark attacks in the med. to think when I was 16 we hired a yacht and sailed round Cyprus and used to dive in whilst in no sight of land. Wouldn't consider it these days.


    As to the spiders in oz the big ones aren't dangerous. They're huntsman and not deadly.

    Think it said a Fisherman's boat spotted her.

    Apparently she can't watch finding nemo no more :D

    Aren't funnelweb spiders big and poisonous? Definite killers, I had them as being a good size.

    Don't think they're big big like a tarantula. Black widow are small.

    According to wiki, they vary in size from 1cm to 5cm. They're massive then.

    I'd rather take on a spider than a shark or croc though. I'd fancy my chances vs a spider armed with a shoe or such like.

    You are indeed correct.. Though red backs are the same apparently.


    Found a ****ing huge spider once in my old flat. The ****er crawled over my face, woke me up. Put the lights on **** myself when I saw the size of the ****er. I caught it in a Tupperware tub massive one at that. The thing reared up and could peek over the side, twas nearly as big as my hand. When I put the lid on the ****er was jumping up into the lid. . I let the ****er loose in front of my cat who then made short work of the ****er pouncing on it.

    We should declare war on Sharks, Lions , Tigers etc that attack and kill humans, wipe the ****ers out.

    but give them an amnesty if they kill and eat ****s like Toby and his ****ing like who frequent these boards when they should be making coffee for the other ******s at the call centre they work at.<ok>

    Basking sharks in these waters, though Great Whites have been know to roam this far north. They stay out in deep water and don't come anywhere near land.

    So have you personally counted how many different types of sharks there are in British Waters?

    No, thought not.

    So I may be right or I may be wrong.

    The only certainty is that you take it up the dung funnel.
