Now that did make me chuckle
it will have plenty to choose from to bite, and in between that and the snake I can see him getting no sleep at all Good luck Alex with the bucks, am out myself with Geoshot and Jans off the site for a couple of bucks. Fingers crossed

Cheers Malc, good luck to you guys too!
Was going to give him an ounce of no. 9's but was concerned about my fixtures and fittings, but a squirt of permethrin at full choke did the job!

perhaps Malc could mount it for you? Full shoulder possibly, you never know, it might make a medal........

Don't worry that snake that Alex keeps will eat it for an entrée and then the main course could be you if you don't keep that bedroom door locked 
Hope you get a decent buck guys. Looks like I am in for a soaking on Sunday as the weather forecast is predicting rain at our end

Didn't realise that they were special ................................ we have been swatting them for weeks now. Got three in the front room window yesterday plus a small Gadfly.
