Mr Tusbax, I dare you to go for it. bal car

By Sky News SkyNews - 1 hour 34 minutes ago A 6ft boa constrictor is on the loose in Kent after escaping from its owner's house. The large brown snake with distinctive black markings was reported missing from its home in St Mary's Island, Chatham, yesterday. Residents have been advised to lock their doors, close windows and wherever possible keep pets inside while the snake is missing. Boa constrictors can go for six months between meals and are known to kill their prey by squeezing them to death. But a Kent Police spokeswoman said the snake had been fed in the last few days. Residents in the area have been warned by police not to approach the reptile if they spot it, but to call 999. It is thought the snake may be hunting for a warm place since the weather turned colder. Inspector Dave Coleman of Kent Police said: "At the moment we are seeking advice from zoos, particularly how the public should respond to any sightings." "We have been advised that six foot is not large for a boa constrictor, however people should not touch it or attempt to pick it up by the tail as these snakes do bite. "We believe the snake will be looking for a damp, dark and warm location, and as it had been recently fed it will be fairly lethargic. They are also excellent swimmers", Mr Coleman said. Boa constrictors are non-venomous snakes usually found in central and south America feeding on bats in the wild. They can survive for up to 30 years in captivity living on mice, rats and chicks.

^^ Do you want to get us both banned? Learn the lesson of Marx.

Silly A&T asking the busybody to give you her take on this story.

(I said I MIGHT write about it).

Fulay. I had soemthing happen to me last night too. I may actually write about it later.

The Pessimist THEY tell me that the weather's fair, The day serene and balmy; No more for rain need I prepare -- No chilly blast shall harm me. They prate of 'warmth', of 'gentle glows', They rave of how sublime it is; I shake my head, as one who knows Just what the British climate is. They say the trees are growing green, That flowers are in bloom, That bees and butterflies are seen; They bid me quit my room. My hat and boots to me they bear. They tell me what crime it is To stay indoors; but I'm aware Just what the British climate is. The tale they tell is just the same They told in days of yore. I know the weather's deadly game -- I've seen it played before. I call it deadly: well, to those By nature such as I'm, it is. One suffers much before one knows Just what the British climate is. This is my fixed resolve -- to keep Thick clothing always handy, Add extra blankets when I sleep, And not run short of brandy. I wager we'll be having snow Before midsummer-time it is. I'll take no risks. I chance to know Just what the British climate is. P.G. Wodehouse

Afro is gone. Now you can tell me what happened to you last night?

Morning....

^^ Looks like everyone is avoiding being the first to reply to this thread, aw tusbax. As ever, good stuff.

^^ Fight the power, saaxib.

MAKE MY DINNER.......

Heh. Find me a worthy topic, saaxib. This one is not worth my time.

^^ I have not seen an issue worth commenting on really. The poster is a Christian/Christian sympathiser and he's highlighting an area that concerns him in Somali current events. He's asking you if what happened is justified. Do you think it is? Answer him. (I, frankly, don't care much for the topic itself).

^^ Horta adiga ka yara joog (I bet you heard these words many times whilst out with your friends). Lets send the younger boys in first. Where is Stioc today?

^^ It's not going to happen anytime soon.

Originally posted by Al Haashimi: Christian Ethopia is killing many Muslims - to the poster. Start your own topic about it. He's covering THIS angle.

The newest member is called 'Reckless Xalimo'. Will you boys or shall I?

^^ I have no idea what you wrote there.

^^ There were no photos of snakes either. But his pictures (and commentary) were much better than many I saw made by actual Somalis.

North and Ibti might want to look at this and see how even an Arab man can take good pictures of a place he visited. (He went to Somaliland). ps Notice how in over 200 photos there is only ONE single picture of a camel.

@Gediid

I am here and not here. The pc is like TV for me these days. Every time I walk past, I have a look.

^^ He does not have the first clue about politics, does he? (lets hope the comment was just a joke).

^^ Don't mind him, Marx. He used to pretend to be Lee Sharp when he was younger. But he has a point (as you've already agreed above). Most of such meetings are a waste of time and people don't make much of the opportunities they have by being there. After all, networking is not about getting to know someone's name and contact information, it's about knowing what to do with such info. Alas, most 'activists' have the will but not the imagination to do anything other than meeting and greeting. ps Even though I think you need to be slapped around with a wet fish from time to time, I have no doubt that you're one 'busybody' who seems to know what he's doing. You've got just enough arrogance about you to shield you from the disappointments that you're sure to encounter along the way.
