I have come across too many from living out in the scrub of the mallee country in SA.
I was out the back of the house one day and spotted a brown down near the wood heap, too close to the house for my liking. So I went back inside and got the shotgun, came back outside and took aim, and....missed. How can you miss anything with a shotgun??
Leave it to me and I will show you how...
The bloody thing took an instant disliking to being shot at and headed straight for me, in a mad panic I through the damn shotty at it and bolted inside.
The snake lived to see another day and no doubt, plenty more.
One of the highlights of my life was living in Penang, Malaysia.
I was 16 and went to an Aussie school over there. Rather than a normal classroom with four walls and the inevitable blackboard, the classroom was a grass roofed hut with monkeys running rampant and stealing pens, books and everything else they could get their hands' on.
Our house backed onto a jungle and I would often go and visit the locals, spending hours with them, learning their culture and some of the local dialect.
RE: who prefers the right or the left side in bed?
I prefer the right side of the bed which also happens to be closest to the door.I am, however, open to negotiation.
