Aye, Carpet Snakes are pythons. The "bad" snakes like the Taipan and Brown Snake are highly venomous ( Snakes are venomous, not poisonous ?) and you get a few of them around here as well. Only 5 mins away from me someones dog was killed by a Taipan. For the first 8 years that I lived here I worked in the sugar cane fields. I saw a lot of the "bad" snakes there. As a young Scottish laddie just off the plane it was a bit of a shock...

Aye. He was a master Sergent in the US Airforce. Story goes that when he left the Airforce he said he had enough of shouting and that's why he talks in that calm voice. He only lived until he was 53. Cancer got him. ? His life story is worth a look at.

Do you have a phobia? I fucking hate snakes. I've been here 25 years and will never lose that fear I have for them. Last week I heard a bunch of birds going off outside. I went out for a look and saw a large Carpet Snake on my roof. The birds were swooping at the snake, which was rightfully trying to get away from them. Only thing was that the fucking thing got into my roof... I've not seen it since then, but everytime I go outside I look like I'm having a fit as I try to get as far away as I can from any hiding places. Last year I had another Carpet Snake in my garage... It took me weeks to go out the back garden.

I've been watching The Joy Of Painting with Bob Ross. It's on for half an hour on the telly each day and It's a must for me. Not that I want to learn how to paint, I just like the chilled nature of Bob.

This is a shame to hear. It seems to be the way of the world now. I used to look forward to pay day so I could go out and get my NME, Melody Maker and Sounds. Select was another great mag from the 90's that finished up. I also remember when Q first started. I bought it for a while, but It kind of went away from the music that I like. I'm more a Uncut or Classic Rock reader now.

We don't have to wear masks here yet.

No way in hell will we finish second. We will be lucky to get 4th or 5th this year.

We (Queensland) have been very lucky so far. Only 6 deaths.

In / Out: Out Prematcher: Not much Match: Bein Sports Australia is showing it live. ? Postmatch: Bed Prediction: 1-1 Crowd: Fuck all.

? What a voice.

Not sure , but by the looks of it he was out the door around the time Jack Ross came in. So it might be that Ross never liked the look of him.

Least Ojo is still with us.

Just noticed he only played 14 games for Hibs. ?

Keith Richards riff at the start of this song is class. The latter riff half way through the song is top-notch Mick Taylor. The Stones were never the same after Taylor left.

I see that Peter Green died yesterday. A bad trip on LSD when he was only in his early 20's fucked him up for a long time. A bit like Syd Barrett. He gave away all his money and left music for years. I was only reading at the start of the year that there was talk of him going on tour again. ?

The home one would look a lot better without that collar.

Where I live has a population of 80,000 and only 8 ventilators. Fun days...

I saw this before. Not sure if any good, but worth a look? https://www.timeout.com/newyork/news/you-can-now-download-over-300-000-books-from-the-nypl-for-free-031820

I put up a small shed out my back garden yesterday. We have had a fair bit of welcome rain the past few months, so the walkways and concrete around my garden need to be washed down with the power washer. I also like to restore old wooden furniture and have a silky oak chair that I want to work on.
