Urgh! Spiders! EVIL!

Luckily we don't usually get deadly ones here in the UK, but they can still sometimes be big! And fast!

September last year, I remember I woke up one morning, turned on my dim reading light, then picked a cushion up of the floor, and saw this dark shape scuttle out from under it. It disappeared under my bedside cabinet, then a few seconds later came running out from underneath the other end of my bed. I tried to trap it under a glass, but accidentally chopped one of its legs off in the process. URGH!
