as Bob said, we keep them around, they keep things like Mozzies and midges in check.
I did pull on a pair of shorts once, stick my hand in a pocket and it felt all weird and hairy and soft, so I pulled one of those huge Huntsmen out and he didn't bite
Another time there was one on top of a bag I was carrying. I got as far as the front door when he bit me on the heel of my hand so I had two nice puncture marks. Got a little sore and earned big bravery points with all the ladies I told my tale to, especially as I still carefully put the little/big hairy sucker outside.
