Exsqueeze me, is that a spider?

Right so in the office today one of the girls spots "the-biggest-spider-ive-seen-in-my-life" in one of the offices so we had to go dispose of it.

She was pretty mental over it actually, using phrases such as "seriously like it was huge" to describe what i expected to turn out to be a daddy long legs or something.

Anywho, there turned out to be 2 of them and they were the biggest fecking spiders ive ever seen in ireland! They even had horns!

we get alot of international deliveries here so we reckon they came in a crate or something.

Alas all the girls could breathe again after we caught the monsters (the smell of farts at this stage was something else!)

We're kinda feeling sorry for them. They probably live in some tree with an unpronouncable name in a forbidden forest in Tibet. now they stuck in a smelly bush in rainy ireland.

But now we dont know what to do with them. We cant kill them. We cant release them into the wild otherwise we risk upsetting the local eco balance.

So what should we do? Spider Wars? Spider Mating and dating?

Pics please.

Whatever you do don't release it. Found out recently that Spiders prey on young girls.

Put a speck of glue on the ends of each of their legs.
Hold spiders out, and place each of their leg tips of the leg tip of the other spider.
'Spider ball' now created.... release and let hilarity ensue

Fajitas!

Pics please.

I remember working in an office beside where the lost and found would come in. One day a HUGE yellow spider flew out of the L&F area and flew down the office. Terrifying! One of the women stood on it, to a massive CRUNCH coming off it.

Eugh.

What, did you try and gas the spiders or something?

Pics or GTFO. Ideally place something familiar beside them for a size reference. Such as a coffee cup or a euro.

Just not a pic of em in a bath tub.

Thanks.

That happened where I worked too, even had the local rag in to take pictures. It turned out to be a local Spider, apparently they can grow quite big. The one we caught looked like it might even have a stinger at the back. Foreign spiders just couldn't survive here.

try calling the gov. dept. that deals with this kind of thing. Can't remember the name for them though. Read a story recentley about a soldier who came back from iraq with a spider in his gear. It killed the family dog and they still cant find it. The things can run at speeds of up to 12mph too.

I used to rent a flat in a converted Georgian house and around this time EVERY year we got these big monsters of spiders.. sound not unlike the ones the op described.. Had the 'horns' too.. We cought one once under a pint glass and it's legs were sticking out from under the glass, couldn't fit the whole bastard in... Had a pic but can't find it.. Fast runners they are too...

Kold

Kill them. Take no chances. Dismember and napalm the corpses.

Do this. Now.

Sir Digby Chicken Caesar

My mate brough back a couple of lighters from china, fake zippo's, when we opened one a small radioactive green spider crawled out... Needless to say one of the lads stamped on the poor thing... Last thing we need is another spiderman sequal.

They're not technically spiders. And the dog just died shortly after confronting the spider - there was no evidence the spider killed him. Unless he choked on it, which would explain why they can't find it.

So, I've not had much time to surf boards the past few days, can someone explain this to me?

I feel really proud and scared that i was able to open a thread with the expression "Exsqueese me" and no one gave out to me!
