Oh his lag would have been worse than mine if he was literally in the middle of nowhere. On ADSL you need to be less than 1km from the exchange or your connection really suffers.
My local exchange is just down the road, not even half a km away.

But the tarantulas aren't deadly anyway.
All sorts of spiders are everywhere but I've never seen anybody that has been bitten get really sick :shrug: Plenty of people have an irrational fear of them though, even folks that have been here all their lives.
Spiders and snakes don't bother me. It's stuff in the sea that kinda freaks me out...jellyfish, sharks and other crazy things that can creep up on you.
I kill them when I see them. Same goes for anything else that creeps into the house.
:artist: My dear fellow, your English is quite atrocious. You really should stop spending so much time with all of those black heathens.Quote:

They may make you a little ill but thats about it however media love to scare monger XD "England infested with mock widows and they are killing people!!" Translation: 2 people were bitten, who had cancer anyways with no immune system due to all the keamo and one lost their hand, the other their foot. Sucks but was blown completely out of proportion and because of it "NO YOU HAVE TO KILL THEM NOW!" People really are that insecure XD. Jokes on them nature already formed a balance, all the funnel webs we have are eating em and have already leveled it all out :/ I love research ^^Quote:

Flies are a huge problem here in summer.
It's not as much of an issue where I'm at. Outside cats will kill any that cross their path (various insects too, if they can get them) so I've only seen a couple in the last several months. Killing them if I encounter them is easier than trying to determine if it's a recluse.
