Spotted this beast on the foyer floor as I left the office on Thursday night. For scale, next to it is the case for my HTC Desire phone.

Can I guess the rest of the story? You captured the spider so your wife got all horny with your manliness and invited her fit friend around for a threesome? Then something about a kettle, goatees and your build?

I was sat watching tv the other day and there was a tickle on my leg, so I pulled up trouser leg to look and the biggest, hairiest spider ever ran down my leg

Yeah that's all well and good until your furry companion comes belting through the cat flap mewling and chirping, runs straight upstairs onto the bed and goes "bleh" and spits out a massive live spider on the covers. Rude awakening I tell you

Spiders are awesome. They have no desire (or ability) to do anything to you, they just want to keep your home insect-free and that's fine by me.

Yep, my spider aversion is totally irrational. I don't mind other bugs at all.

I know that Pepi brought George downstairs into the lounge from his spot on the landing on Tuesday night to 'play' as I successfully distracted him with cat sweets to give George a chance to recover & make a run for the fireplace.
I saw a George 'lookalike' in the lounge and a 'George' and 'Harry' (slightly smaller) in the study Thursday night, so I'm hoping that George managed to survive!
When I was young Dad told me that very large spiders were called George, and smaller ones Harry so I wouldn't run screaming/kill them - it worked

I love what spiders do, I just have a completely irrational fear of them.
I try never to kill them and only evict them from my bedroom, the ones in the rest of the house are ok.
And Ali, big spiders are Maurice in my house.
