I saw that video clip a few weeks ago and thought I'd check out my garden. Sure enough, there's about 3/4 of those webs in my wall!

Spiders never usually bother me, so I tapped the edge of one web with a compass and a leg peaked out....tapped it a bit more and the f***ing thing shot out!! I've never jumped so bl00dy high in my life! :blushing:

Ugly looking thing it is on that video - it was just a blur in real life - I might get my brother to stick his finger in a web and film the result.....:laugh:

Well I think any man who can face a spider and admits he felt fear.....
............is very like me.

I scream like a girl if I meet a spider.

Ahem, not that I am girly in any other way of course.

I didn't scream as such.....I may have let out a little "yelp" though...

I'm too scared to even watch the clip.

I'm spider catcher in chief in my house, armed with my trusty empty cardboard whisky bottle container I scoop them up and have to take them out side, not allowed to kill them. Then it's a race to see who gets back into the house first, me or the spider....lol.

Middle son keeps a glass and bit of card by his bed, just in case. He has coached me a number of times how to catch said spider, so I can save him from the dreaded creatures!

Don't think I will show him this video, will tip him over the edge.

im usually ok with the glass and card trick but these enter into category 4 territiory, and they bite.

Seems there are a lot of men who are scared of spiders. I even have to catch them at work in the office before my boss will come in. Maybe I should leave them there

Why is it that those who scream loudest at spiders whinge the most when someone stomps on the damn things?
