[cooney]

Woooooo

 

[manangatang]

Qooty is the real winner.

But also us.

 

[p4p1]

We are just the best. 2024 is the year of teams winning the GF the hard way.

 

[p4p1]

Mind you if we go to Mad Monday I’ll be REALLY RELLY MAD.

Not gonna lie, ever since the Glen Waverley mad Monday incident, I am approaching these events with a bit more caution.

 

[p4p1]

This one may be slightly worse, but I do get a chuckle from it

Should be a little blip in 97 as well. Jack dying killed my innocence. Then Rose meeting Jack in the afterlife instead of the husband she built a life with killed my belief in love.

I have pet daddy long legs

But I have been known to exterminate scary looking things that are that bit too big & have an obvious white tail look to them

I’m about the only female in my family who doesn’t carry on about spiders. My daughters and sisters all a pack a bag and move out of the house until someone shows them physical evidence the spidey is dead. Bodies, goo, squish stains…the lot.

I don't know how paranoid Aussies get over snakes, but people here go insane over them. A copperhead shows itself out in the yard, and it's worse than a Simpsons Whacking Day. People go out of their way to hunt and eradicate snakes.

Drives me nuts, even the poisonous ones eat annoying pests and generally prefer to be left alone.

Snakes are a protected species here. You need a damn good reason, or be really secretive, to take one out. I've read criminal histories through work with people fined for unlawfully killing a snake.

The good thing is most Aussie snakes, even a lot of the most dangerous ones, are calm/timid so if you are not being silly or accidentally step on/near one, you'll be fine. Anyone whose anyone knows to keep an eye out if you see one and follow its movement, alert those around you calmly, secure the vulnerable pets and call a snake catcher if it's a domestic environment.

Copperheads can be aggressive, but usually easy to shoo away with a branch or rake. Cottonmouths are something else, they'll stand their ground, I've even had one follow me through the brush.

I grew up with various species of rattlesnakes, they're dangerous due to super toxic venom, but really don't want to deal with humans.

Just leave them alone, people.

Great win Demons.
Bad luck gumbies.
Hope you have a great offseason!

Most are pretty ok with snakes and spiders here. Within reason.

Where I live there is a River walk that is completely suburbia but around the river. About 20,000 people do the walk each week, there is snakes that just sleep next to the path all through summer.
No one bats an eyelid.

I don't freak about spiders, but those huntsman spiders you folks have seem... impressive.

I've only ever seen snakes behind glass or when I've actually been out in the bush type thing - never seen them around home which I'm quite ok with


Before I was a consideration, my parents & brother lived up at Doonan overlooking Noosa & the Sunshine Coast, on an old banana plantation so plenty of snakes up around there

One of those stories that gets told at family catch-ups is from the day they were moving to the Gold Coast, and telling my brother to keep out of the way while they got things packed & organised. Seems he interrupted a couple of times to say there was a strange noise coming from the downstairs bar/garage area, so my dad finally went down to check it out

Down there he encountered an eastern brown snake that reared up to be eye level with my dad (about 5ft 10), before both decided the best option was to go their separate ways - they don't know where the snake went

we have one that "lives" at our house, we call him Tom.

It is probably more than 1, we just call all of them Tom

Did the Demons get thrashed?

Did the Demons get thrashed?

It wasn't pretty

 

[UncleImpairedRetina]

It wasn't pretty

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.

 

[Gralin]

Couldn't have happened to a nicer bunch.

I appreciate the sentiment

Right prediction
Wrong team
