Straya!

'Aussie Snake Wranglers' on NatGeo Wild is my new favorite TV show.

Photogenic Strayans with mullets chasing slithery reptiles around the Sunny Coast.

Actually have their number in my phone, but think we have closer snake catchers.

Great fun.

This thread instead of TV shows thread because ...

...Straya!

0h yeah, meant to mention that a number of the snakeys they catch (essentially two hours from us) are flavours we get here, in particular Kelly Keelback and Winston Whipsnake.

@booboo well I just suggested a dawn trip down to Canberra for a day out.

But apparently miss 14 is breaking up with her boyfriend tomorrow, so we are on emotional support duty.

FFS...

She has to go to school with the skinny Iittle fuck, so there's that...

Extremely inconvenient to do this on a public holiday. All I'm saying.

I've decided maybe I take the boy out for the day to do driving lessons and track up some hours

@nta hopefully her next bf isn't from the same friend group!

My highlight for Invasion Day is to walk to the testing centre. Have been crook at home for 3 days with Covid symptoms but my RATs keep coming up negative.

@NTA I'm unsure why emotional support can't be given in the car and then in Canberra.

Because the chosen time is noon - the little fuckstick doesn't wake up until well after midday most days.

@Bones you don't think that thieving drunk pigs looking for a fight is something unusual in Oz do you?

@nostrildamus sure they "can", but "would" they? Need to be pretty big to take on a human with ameasure of success.

A family member has a technically ginormous one in the rafters of her QLD garage, reckon if it fell on the car the car would come off worse.
Said it was great for the rats. I don't know the length but it was thicker than a big man's arm.
