Identify this spider

I beg to differ, one of my ancestors from the 14th century was employed by King Henry VIII to remove queen wasps and their hives from his various stately homes and castles, his legacy was passed down through the generations and I inherited his knowledge and expertise, it is in my blood.

As such, I feel I am perfectly placed to categorically state that the insect in the OP's pictures is definitely a queen wasp.

Modern translation:

Dat is 1 dem quen beez, i shd no m8 - ma bby mamma kil dem 4 life
 
I don't get why people take time to photo said spider and ask what it is. Why isn't it killed instantly.
You have house insurance right? Burn your house down, that'll make them leave.
 
Actually, my house insurance has an exclusion specifically for spiders, it says, and I quote:

"Exclusions
We will not pay for the following:

[...]

7 Any claim resulting from:

[...]
• vermin, insects or pets"
 
Yup, looks like a false window spider(Latin: Sashandcaseid). If you stand too close; it'll eat your soul.
 
Deffo looks a bit like a false widow. It's a good thing you've captured it. But I would be worried where the rest of its family are. Apparently they can lay up to 120 eggs per time.

Oh, and this:

Have you tried over-volting it and seeing if it moves faster?
 
You will only find out by doing the following:

Step 1: Find all spiders in your house that you can get your mits on, take picture of each one for identification and evidence

Step 2: Give them all names, Wrestling names like the 8 legged rock and 2fang

Step 3: Create an arena, this arena should be fairly big (Bigger than a dinner plate) and be adorned like a true wrestling ring.

Step 4: Release 2 spiders at a time, announce them properly to get the crowd going!

Step 5: While filming, throw tiny plastic chairs into the ring and miniature weapons. The victor of the match gets through to the next rounds.

Step 6: After all matches if the one remaining spider is the one you showed us, then you probably have an evil little thing whatever it is and it must be adorned with golden belts and held aloft in victory.

ps. is anyone looking around the corner's of their rooms now ? I am I dislike spiders..why did I click on this thread :(

Spiders are none of the above, unless you were to keep one as a pet :)

Tbh that very much looks like a false widow.
