Snakes
Once upon a long time ago, there was an Australian restaurant chain called 'Black Stump', who were pretty much a steakhouse. In fact, their advertising song was short, sharp & to the point - 'At the Black Stump, we're famous for our steaks'... So, not a haven for vegetarians, or even pescatarians. Not that there were many of either of those in 70s & even 80s Australia
Anyway, that little trip down Memory Lane was triggered by a couple of news stories I found today, concerning Australia's impressive collection of snakes & put me in mind of that jingle, albeit with a slight change - 'Beyond the black stump, we're famous for our snakes' Tiger Snakes love a boat trip!! Seemingly inspired by the book/film 'Life Of Pi' & every bit as dangerous!!... And - That's not a hair-clip!!. & not really the kind of accessory that's likely to catch on in trendy circles...
Should you find yourself with a snake in your boat, or in your hair, above all - don't panic... & don't do any of these things either...
