I reckon that is George. I think he said he was off over the hills to Sheffield last time we spoke, something about a Halloween gig he had lined up..

Looks like a Guatemalan ear spider, and a fairly young one. They get a lot less cute when they get older.

'fraid not. I asked and he said his name was Boris.

Why did I Google that? I knew it was going to be awful but I did it anyway. Ffs.

Wife was going mental as she doesn't like spiders, she'd convinced herself it was something horrible and is going to eat our family. This wasn't help by me going "canwekeepit canwekeepit canwecanwe?"

Boris is Georges pub name. He loves the Who so thought it would be cool to use Boris as a pulling name.

Bottom line, if he made you believe that, you really need to watch yourself tonight..
