We had a massive house spider crawl out from the fireplace in our old house, no word of a lie its leg span was the same size as Bob's hand. I've got some pics of it squashed somewhere but I can't post them as I can't bear to look at them 
Obviously I screamed like a girl and ran out of the room and up the stairs when I saw it. It was too big for a pint glass and too big even for my spider catching device

Huntsman look bloody scary, but the reality is:

They're actually one of the last species of spiders you should be worried about!

Oh God, I hate them *shiver*.
What I want to know is.........where do all the stripey ******* that are strung across every bleedin' plant in the garden go to for the rest of the year?
Oooh............conkers! I've got them all over the house to keep them away, but I need new ones now and there aren't any on our local trees this year.

I'm terrified of them - worse than any woman I tell ya! All the lads at work know about it too - the other week, some tw@t found one in the workshop, dead. It was fecking huge, fat n all. this total d1ck slap put it under a piece of paper on my keyboard, and when I came in to the office I moved the paper out of the way!! I jumped so ******* much that I put my bleeding back out and trapped a nerve!!

Even Kieran's pic makes me go a bit funny 
How do conkers keep them away? I just happen to have a massive horse chestnut about 20 ft from my back door that is brimming with the things
BTW, that spider in the blind that I mentioned earlier? I forgot to tell Bob about it and now he's gone to work and it's still there

Cyprus 2004 - our 8 year old find this hiding under her beach towel!
European Tarantula possibly? - whatever it was it was scary.
Or this one needs to shave its legs!
Or the little one is just about to die!

Our house looks like we've got a giant rabbit living here.

Like the time I saw one scuttle across the floor whilst on the PS2, sat there, just a dressing gown on, getting some air to the spuds, I paid it no attention until I felt it taking refuge under my goolies, I have never moved so fast !

Harvey was still there last night, but I think he's shed a skin cos there was a smaller skeletal one in the web too. And H has definately got bigger.
The hairy legged one in Madras's post has made it's way onto the lounge curtain as well, but he got the slipper treatment.
Those camel spiders are disgusting. If they try sending me to the desert I'll dessert (see what I did there?)

I have of these huntsman spiders every year - big ******* too and as I've got an old house, they're everywhere!!
Last year, whilst deeply into a round of something on my 360, I noticed a movement from the corner of my eye.
I turned to look at the chimney breast to see this thing about the size of my hand (you could have put a bl00dy saddle on it!!) walking down the wall.
I stopped. It stopped. There was a look on its face as if to say "nothing to see here, sonny. Go back to your racing".....
I swear it gave me the finger, and continued walking down the wall.
Wide-eyed, I just un-paused the game and went back to it, not thinking about it!!
Think it went under my fire and back into the chimney breast, as I never saw it again
