    Bob Katter is a crazy old man

    But he's right that there are too many fucking crocs. There are so many swimming holes up here that people can't use any more.

    Seems I didn't get around to sharing this Strayan Story.

    We don't have sewer where we are so have on site effluent treatment.

    Pump high level alarm went off the other day and started making bubbling sounds as the thing was getting over full.

    Called out the service peeps. Starts looking into reasons, can't find anything, opens electrical box and ...

    Seems to have short circuited both the snakes and the system.

    Not sure how the fuck they got into the sealed box.

    Pretty sure they are 'just' tree snakes.

    I understand said sparky did describe his reaction as coming close to soiling his underclothes.
