There's a snake on the loose......

Taken from a local news outlet http://www.echo-news.co.uk/news/145...d_park___2_000_miles_from_its_native_habitat/

This is the bit that got me:

"Mr Newby said: "They might bite if but they aren't venomous. If anyone spots the snake the best thing is to get a pillowcase and put it over your hand then pick up the snake and pull the pillowcase over it and tie the top. That's the easiest and safest way of catching a snake."

Nor firstly, I never really carry a pillow case around with me.

Secondly....... and more importantly, if I did happen to see one of these, or any other snakes I'll be running as fast as possible in the opposite direction, probably screaming like a little girl! (if you haven't guessed I have ophidiophobia)

Gah, all these Australians getting bitten off boomslangs, taipans etc, all they needed to do was get the council to cut the grass, problem solved!

Anyway there's been a snake loose round OOF for donkeys years and hasn't caused any (human) deaths yet that I'm aware of.

A boomslang is an African snake, and the name means 'tree snake' but I get the idea...

Oh I don't know.
A few members have disappeared under the guise of "permaban"

Typical aggressive immigrants How did it get through the Point Based System? Did someone think we haven't got enough snakes in the UK?

Another one won't hurt

Must have squeezed through a loophole.

Actually, as an EU resident, it should be allowed in anyway!
