Only problem is, they keep coming back and finding refuge in twickenham!

I'll be having strong words with you tomorrow night Nick!

So I guess these comments kind of confirm what I was saying about redbacks - do worry about them, they will make you sick! A child or an elderly person could be killed without antivenom. Funnel webs are indeed nastier however. Along with crocs, sharks etc. But, the only thing that will actively look to make you a meal would be a croc. A shark wouldn't - unless it was injured or you inadvertently triggered a defense mechanism in it. And snakes and spiders will do a runner when they 'feel' you coming. Unless you back them into a corner or make them feel threatened they generally go about their business.

The thing about all our nasties in Oz is that it helps make you good at sport - better reflexes, ovservation skills etc
