    PANEER MAN, HERE TO SAVE THE DAY.
    They had lentil shepards pie, which I have become oddly fond of.

    I got this from an animal rights group here in Dublin, just wanted to spread it to you guys also:

    Hi all,

    I have just heard about a 14 foot python in desperate need of a new home. The current "owners" are threatening to SHOOT her if not rehomed soon :evil:

    I am awaiting more details and will post them as soon as I get them. All I know so far is that she is living in a room in their house and they are afraid to go in there. They are throwing food in through the window (at least that's SOMETHING I suppose...) but not even cleaning the room for her.

    I have no idea why they are so afraid of her. They sound like complete idiots to me so it could be anything from her sheer size to her snapping and them not realising what they did wrong or anything.... They seem to have her branded as an "evil snake" :(

    I'd take her myself but have my hands and house full, have no experience with such large snakes, and cannot affoard to keep her. I assume she is Burmese as that's all I've ever seen of the larger pythons in shops here, but you'd never know - a retic possibly. I'm trying to get a photo. Those fools probably don't even know themselves....

    If anyone can take her please let me know!!!! Please pass this on to anyone you think may help also, with my email (irlandaise@imagine.ie) and phone number (+353 (0)851338095).

    I'm doing my best to contact shelters etc also so if you have any contacts pass them on please! Dublin Zoo has refused to take her as they have their fill of snakes (and a very poor track record anyway with animal welfare so that's probably for the best in a way...) As I said I'm waiting for more info and hopefully a picture to post here. Please copy and past this to all your groups, twitters, facebook etc!!! What a tragedy if this poor neglected snake was shot, simply for being herself (or himself - gender is also unknown!)

    Why does this seem like an elaborate set up? Like somebody's going to volunteer to take the thing and then some pervy guy shows up and goes yeah, I got your 14 foot python...in my PANTS!

    On the other hand, poor snake, how did the owners even get their hands on it if they didn't know how to take care of it :mad:

    Hee hee, this post is like poetry! Minus the word 'also' perhaps...

    On the subject of sleep, I will be sleeping in an actual bed tonight as opposed to a couch, for the first time since August! :)'s all round.

    My new room also has a massive floor-to-ceiling, east facing window taking up the whole far wall. I'm going to grow some lovely herbs on the window-sill and maybe some lettuce... Has anybody any suggestions actually on what herbs* are good to grow indoors at this time of year?

    *of the legal variety!

    Yay for you! you still living in galway yeah? I have no advice for herbs except don't feel bad if your basil plant dies, everyone I've ever talked to who tried to grow basil ended up with a dead basil plant and some guilt

    my associate informs me that Bay tree (think bonsai) will grow almost anywhere. At least it does in her house. Strawberries apparently happen all over the place as well.

    In other news, my new abode is a few doors down and above an off-licence called the grapevine! Awesome-ness! =)

    Yeah, still in Galway, this place is much further from town than my old place though :( It's quite dirty too, I'm seeing cleaning in my future. I really like my room though! Which is important.
    Basil is a toughy, I think I've killed basil before, but this time I'll try harder!

    Strawberries! That's exciting... Will look into this Bay Tree you speak of.

    In Galway there was a 'Bunch of Grapes' off-license, but not a Grapevine... Grapevine's better :pac:

    In recent news, my associate adds, the grapevine has cheap pink champagne. But the good stuff. (this means nothing to me)

    I have not figured out the bus system in Dublin yet and I guess the system in cork is just as bad. I feel sorry for you guys who have lived with this bus system all your life. I almost became a suicide bomber targeting only the busses the first month I was living here, the bus I hate the most is the 220 that one goes all over the place and no one seems to know its destination. Even the busdriver just drives around unknowing where the hell he is going. Everybody that is new in this country despice the bus system here just so you know.

    Have you had to endure the country buses? It's quite funny trying to explain it to german tourists "yeah there is a 9.30 bus to Galway. Should be here around 9.40. Then the bus driver goes in to pick up the papers and chat to his son. Leaves here around 9.50. What time does it get into Galway? Like, between 11 and 11.30 depending on stuff"
