RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted February 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2018 This was in the article - The boss of Victoria Police’s own Professional Standards Command has admitted to creating a fake online profile to make "crude, coarse and inappropriate" comments..... I would submit that there are many on RMWeb that have done the same Cheers Ted You speak for yourself... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium St Enodoc Posted February 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2018 Apparently (according to the article) Snakes are purely defensive and will not chase you or initiate an attack unless threatened. You know that and I know that but does the snake know that? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Premium Barry O Posted February 23, 2018 RMweb Premium Share Posted February 23, 2018 Only in Oz would you protect venomous snakes and possums. If you want more possums New Zealand are busy getting rid of them..if driving stop for a Kiwi, slow for a sheep, speed up for a possum.....

SRman Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 (edited) Well if it wanted to mate with Me, it should have bought Me flowers and a drink first ! Poor form just chasing Me It may not have wanted to mate with you, so much as feed its many hungry little ones! Incidentally, baby snakes are just as venomous as their parents!

The Blue Streak Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 It may not have wanted to mate with you, so much as feed its many hungry little ones! Incidentally, baby snakes are just as venomous as their parents! The thing with big snakes, is that many have grown up to be big snakes by learning to avoid humans (mostly), baby snakes are yet to learn that and seem to get surprised more easily because they are less wary and of course go on the immediate / defence. I see many more small snakes around My block than big ones, the big ones are most certainly there but tend to be more cautious and stay hidden, which suits Me. I have also heard that adult snakes do have the ability to strike and bite without injecting venom and many people get bitten without copping a dose of nasty stuff as well. Young snakes don't have that ability or have not learned that. So if you get bitten by a young 'en, You are more likely to be in deep doo doo. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horsetan Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 You know that and I know that but does the snake know that? Has anyone asked them? 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DougN Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 Yes the snakes don't want to waste the hard to make venom on us humans even though one dose can kill 20 people.... even a twentieth would be enough for most people! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
allan downes Posted February 23, 2018 Share Posted February 23, 2018 One of the most venomous critters in the World ( which means Australia will have at least a dozen varieties of it ) is the Amazon yellow frog which lives on a diet of small insects alone so, why does it carry a venom potent enough to floor a herd of elephants ? Here be it. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

EDIT: hang on, is your Belgian a dual national!???? Not true. Mathias Cormann was born in Belgium, but he is NOT the Deputy PM, but Acting Prime Minister. That would REALLY upset the Nationals, as under terms of their Coalition with the Liberals, the Deputy PM must be a National Party MP. The leader of the National Party (and by agreement, the Deputy PM) has yet to be determined. Presumably next week will be a bun fight. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DougN Posted February 25, 2018 Share Posted February 25, 2018 Mike your right at the moment Aussie politics is rather strange... Turnbull in the US, Bishop in London, Barny away with the fairies.... Cormann... current post turtle (he doesn't know how he got up there and is trying to figure out how to get back down) so situation normal... none of the polies can do any harm as they are away from the control room... all the Sir Humphrey' are doing a great job and the country is just keeping on keeping on...

I don't recall giving you a Aussie meat pie with a magma temperature filling... 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
