Its not that scary, just a pink, fluffy bunny with "Boo" painted on its nose*

I have three regular house spiders in my lounge/kitchen at the moment, all of them just minding their own business, which is how I like it.
A few weeks ago however I did have three giant house spiders [not large ones - giant is the actual type] in here three nights in a row.
Not a massive fan of them; they move to quick and are trickier to kill than a regular house spider. They are also quite massive [for a UK species]. It's normally males you see this time of year, out looking for mates; females have shorter legs, males are the big, big ones with the long, hairy legs.
In fact, I'd go as far as to say that while I'm not arachnaphobic [I had a shower with a spider watching me from the corner of the bathroom roof today] I have a specific fear of those giant ones. They're just not right.
[although as pointed out, the giant house spider is the fastest recorded true spider [sun spiders are faster but are closer to scorpions than spiders - ten legs, not eight], capable of sprinting at half a meter a second, which is enough to make me want to squeal like a little girl and stamp randomly in their general direction...]
