I don't think my brother would be able to cope in Australia. He's petrified of our pathetic excuse for spiders.
Always used to love tormenting him with spiders.

You bastard. My brother did that to me when I was young, by putting them in my bed. I hated him for it. I hope you weren't as bad as my brother - we never speak and haven't for many, many years.

We were as bad as each other as kids. In fact, we couldn't stand each other; though I was more to blame because I was quite a bit older than him. Today though, we get on like, er... brothers (good ones).
I'm sorry to hear that things never patched up between you and your brother.

I've actually had one nearly as big as that on the roof at home once, I was just getting home I think and the house was still dark but light enough due to the street lights. Well I just happened to look at the ceiling at the time and saw this big thing on there move about so I turned the light on and jumped back a little as it was under me. So I went and got the bug spray and went to town on it.
And us dangerous never

That's why I could never go to Australia. I've been promoted to chief spider-getter-ridder in the family, but they always fit in the diameter of a glass.

Needs two more eyes for maximum spiderness. Also, this is relevant:

What a lovely view, shanks.
I've never really understood spider hate. I was always told that having a spider in the house kept anything smaller and undesirable under control, so I see them as little housekeepers. I've absolutely no idea why my brother has such an irrational fear of them (which I didn't actually bring on).

This is why I like them. They keep our country house more pest-free than it would be otherwise. Although there was that one time when one decided to try and live in the Wii's cooling fan...

27 street pass hits today is quite an achievement for being in Tassie.
