Are these going to kill me?

Groucho, could do with some facts mate.

I'd be far more scared of funnel webs.

I've had a tingling in my leg for about 4 hours.

Deffo been bit by one.

You are unlikely to encounter the false widow spider if you live in the north of the country, with the furthest recent sighting being in East Anglia.

Unlucky.

 

[bluemangroup]

Oh god.

Oh god is right. They can survive immersion in water (such as a swimming pool) for several hours and still administer a venomous bite.

 

[Bungle]

Oh god is right. Favourite place to sleep of funnel web? That's right...a shoe

Bless you

Given that I'm not a all that far from you, which village? And yes, yes your are.

What do these look like? There's been a few spiders hanging around in my flat lately, maybe they're friends or something.

Treat every spider with utmost suspicion and spray instantly with starch then slap hard with a wet metro

Can't be too careful...

Have you considered that it was the ethnics who brought it in Nik?

They probably had sex with 1 or something.
