Lizzy is a stunner

[@Nighthawk1066_]

The look of contemplation at 4:20 (blaze it) as he determines whether or not there is a genuine spider threat or not.

[@brontewcat]

Huntsmans are pretty harmless. While I do not want one to run over my face while I am sleeping, they do not worry me too much. They are big, but only bite in defence. Some types can give a nasty bite, but I am not sure the Australian ones ever really bite. They are also pretty scared of humans and run away as fast as they can if you move anywhere in their direction. I think they eat bugs and mosquitoes. I would much rather have a Huntsman hiding in my bedroom, than a mosquito buzzing around at night. People make such a fuss over spiders, but not mosquitoes. In the northern parts of Australia you are more likely to get sick from a mosquito bite than any spider except a funnel web.

[@TheLadyDelirium]

@@brontewcat I was terrified of spiders until I was about 25. I learned to be scared of them because my mum was, she would scream if she saw one. Then I started to learn more about them. I wouldn't say I'm their biggest fan but we respect each other now and I'd never purposely hurt one.

[@brontewcat]

TheLadyDelirium I am not really frightened of them either. Wary of certain types, eg funnel webs, red backs, but not frightened. I am not sure I’d like any spider on or in my bed, but I have had huntsman spiders in my shower and bedroom. As long as the spider keeps its own space I am okay.

[@Rheinmeister09]

ROI is not part of the British Isles. We don’t recognize that term in our neck of the woods.

[@brontewcat]

I get confused about the terms. Ireland is not part of Britain the largest island, but I thought geographically it was part of the British Isles, which it is the group of islands off the north west of Europe.

[@Rheinmeister09]

brontewcat the implication when saying that the ROI is part of the British Isles is that the British government is responsible for how the ROI runs on a day-to-day basis.

[@Deimos2k5]

@@Rheinmeister09 it really isn't. British Isles is geographic. Nobody's saying it's part of the UK

[@Rheinmeister09]

Deimos2k5 it’s not meant to but the amount of times I have heard someone make that mistake is quite staggering. I live in the US and politely correct their error.

[@brontewcat]

Rheinmeister09 I am sorry, but I think you are reading more into the term than what is meant, and certainly more than what I meant. I was making a genuine enquiry. I understood British Isles is a geographic term, while Ireland and Britain are political terms. I agree people get confused and use them incorrectly. However if someone is using the terms correctly (eg in a weather report about a system that is affecting the British Isles generally) I am not sure it is appropriate to correct them.

[@brontewcat]

As Mexico is part of the Americas and North America, it quite correct to call its food American.

[@Freshie207]

Correct me if I’m wrong but aren’t Taco’s TexMex? Which is to say American renditions of Mexican food.

[@Tmendler]

@@brontewcat she meant u.s. America though

[@Tmendler]

@@Freshie207 no tacos are a Mexican dish. If you go to chipotle or taco bell that you get texmex renditions of Mexican dishes. I'd make the same analogy of Italian food from Italy vs "american Italian" food from the olive garden.

[@brontewcat]

Mendler Except, as one of my geography teachers used drum into us, there is no such country/continent as America. There is the United Stated of America, and two continents called North America and South America - collectively called the Americas. He also emphasised that, at the time, there was no such country as Russia. This changed in the 1990s with break up of the USSR. It seems to me the citizens of the US have hijacked the term American, when its definition is much wider than the US.

[@niallmartin9063]

Eh guys, Ireland ain’t Britain. Rudimentary Geography 101. Just sayin’

[@chesterdonnelly1212]

I would add Ireland to Britain to make it better.

[@delenngm]

Seems you failed Rudimentary Geography 101 then. The archipelago of ‘The British Isles’ consists of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland, the Isle of Man, the Hebrides and more than six thousand smaller isles. In purely geographical terms everyone from any of those islands is British. Geopolitically the British Isles is divided into 4 countries, one of which is further subdivided, and that’s where the distinctions are brought in.

[@nirish25]

@@delenngm historical lesson for you. No Irish person ever would say Ireland is in the British isles. Ireland is an independent sovereign country not part of the UK. Just because vacuous Brits created the phrase British isles doesn't mean other countries are obliged to use it.

[@delenngm]

Niall T Factual lesson for you, I am descended from Irish stock on both sides of my family, so I am at worst adequately aware of the situation . The name for the group of islands referred to as the British Isles is not some vacuous name created by ‘Brits’, it’s been a variant of the name for 2000 year and predates the existence of the main 4 nations of the said archipelago. You clearly can’t get your head around the factual differences between a geographical name or reference and the geopolitical or notion of nationhood. Perhaps you’d have better luck in comprehension if you think about countries and continents, unless of course you object to Ireland being referred to as an European Nation. I’m sure you are a proud Irishman, but if your sense of National identity is so fragile you can’t cope with a simple geographic name, I’d say you need to work on being so thin skinned. I say all this as someone who has always argued the partition of Ireland was a huge mistake and the only practical and honourable solution is reunification. You, on the other hand, need to stop embroiling yourself in childish semantics and quite possible grow a pair.

[@aaronconlon3880]

@@delenngm In Britain this group of islands that we live on is know as the "British isles" but in Ireland they're known as the "Anglo-Irish isles". It's just another thing people can't agree on. But even still being in the "British isles" doesn't make Ireland British or even part of Britain.
