I'd say it's good oul Tegenaria domestica
{thats the common house spider to you and me}

Look familiar?

Oh dear god you should warn people in the title about that photo, il be having nightmares tonight!!!:eek:
In comparision to say a matchstick how big is he? In that photo it looks like he's on a cushion and he's some sort of 9 inch diameter mutant spider!:D

Edited to add: Oh never mind me I just didn't see the warning, me thinks me needs to have eyes tested again for stronger glasses!
