Exclamation Mystery Spider....

last night i turned around from the computer to find the biggest wild spider I have ever seen, with out a doubt, I was wondering if anyone can identify it from this dodgy pic lol, I had to take a picture before I got rid of it lol (I didnt kill it, I released it outside) by the way its my dads hand not mine so it gives some idea of the size!!!!

looks like a common house spider to me, but unsure of the scientific name of that one.

How come I can handle my adult chile with no problems, but the picture of that monster makes me shudder? Crazy, isnt it.
