Apparently, they saw a snake. You can’t be too careful, but is there anyone out there who has seen a snake open a car door?”“A neighbour down the street when I were lad was a renowned (they tell me) herpetologist,” recounts Bruce Moxon of Toongabbie. “He collected and bred snakes and lizards. And he also bred their fodder. Imagine, then, the hilarity when his house (of horrors) was burgled. Our robber opening door after door, finding rats, mice, frogs, insects, spiders and finally snakes. Sadly, there was no intruder-shaped hole in the back door – they maintained enough presence of mind to just open it.”“Only a feral kitten? (C8) Anne Cook’s story reminded me of finding a litter of kittens in the outside laundry of a house we were renting in Wollongong in the 1970s,” says Glyn Bradford of Hawker (ACT). “The mother cat wasn’t there so I tried to pat one of the cute kittens. I quickly regretted it as I left with a bloodied hand.”Forget the NRLW naming dilemma (C8), this is big: “I heard that the Queen died, and a King was made her replacement,” writes Ken Hudson of Evans Head. “So, shouldn’t it now be called Kingsland, and the capital be moved to Charleville?”[email protected] attachments, please.
