Too bad I already have a pet…

It was a Giant Banded Huntsman (that’s the official name…) - we normally only get the Brown Huntsman where we are.
I’m familiar with the Golden Orb Weaver - they’re welcome at my home right now because they’re eating the cicadas 
@Troll - the Huntsman has an interesting adaption to living with humans. We use gyprock - a kind of rough wearing plasterboard - commonly for indoor walls. The male huntsman will anchor himself to the wall and smack his abdomen repeatedly against the wall to attract females.
So if you’re visiting and hear a tapping seemingly coming from inside the walls, it’s just horny spiders

Only in Australia! 
I heard Nicole Kidman saying in an interview ”we’re not here to f**k spiders” and I nearly died laughing. 
Now I’m thinking maybe you actually can do that…!

There are more hydrogen atoms in a single molecule of water than there are stars in our entire solar system.

I was (excuse me) sat on the toilet in my hovel of a workshop building minding my own business before Christmas and something touched the back of my neck. I jumped up and span round expecting a bloody great spider or possibly a ghost laughing his arse off but there was nothing there.
Ghost. I’ve named him Burt.

The two on the left hand side and the top are not really trains, they are underground or as you would call them metro …in the description it says west coast mainline…they do move a lot of trains through there … I noticed at least three different train companies
Our busiest is Hackney downs station
8 stansted trains, 8 Chingford, 8 Enfield, 2 Cheshunt, bishops stortford 2 Hertford east and 4 Cambridge per hour do 32 trains per hour going through 1 station after there they split off to different lines
at the begining of the video it mentioned South Kenton, there are a lot of lines there

I used to commute accross London through that area to Northwood every day on the Metropolitan Line (maroon line crossing east to west). The Met Line is part of the London Underground but the trains at that time were different to the ones on all the other underground lines in that they had very thick cushions on the seats. Upon riding the train it soon became clear that this was a design choice to avoid the need for any suspension. I learned to only sit in the center of the carriages to avoid being thrown off the seat over the bumpy stretch of track between Wembley Park and Harrow-on-the-Hill.
