Ok this is like the worst movie ever. I did this within the first few weeks at Uni, with a friend at home (unseen). I actually made this fuilm using my mobile phone, hence the poor quality, the next vid will be made on my webcam. The flat was fairly empty but the people in it didn't even fully co-operate, but I made the most of it. Please forgive the crudeness. Coming soon.... Pimp My Flat! (..less)

The Giant house spider is indigenous to north western Europe and the pacific northwest of North America. The webs built by the Giant house spider are flat and messy with a funnel at one end. The spider lurks in the funnel until a small invertebrate happens to get trapped in the web, at which point the spider runs out and attacks it. T (..less)
