Miss Kay thinks this is hilarious but I'm totally pissed off, we didn't have a heap of fruit on our apricot and peach trees this year after I gave them a short back and sides last year but the fruit that was on them was looking big and juicey before the "Fuc..n vermin, I.E. birds, possums and fruit rats decided to help themselves. I thought "I'll get some rubber snakes and hang them in the trees, that'll scare them off" yeah right, there was about a dozen apricots where this scarey looking snake is hanging 20230205_181227.jpg

Did the same in our garden beds years ago, grandkids get more enjoyment playing with the, the birds don’t give a rats rs.
 
Yeah, they banned sale of sticks of gellie with det already inserted. When I got my blasting certificate you could still buy explosives in hardware stores in Victoria. Law was that the gelignite went in the boot but the detonators had to go in the glove box of your car. We tried to help an entomologist investigate a termite mound but got the charge wrong (ended with a large leafless clearing and a hole in the ground). Then there were the guys who set their multimeter to the wrong setting when testing their circuit. We had a mining lecturer who would explode a det in the lecture theatre to ensure that we were paying attention....
 
Remember the train dets that were put on the railway line to tell the driver that fettlers were ahead.
Wish I could forget them, actually. When I was in Primary School at the end of the '50's, one of the kids blew off most of the fingers on his left hand while playing with one of those dets down the back of the bike sheds. I arrived to see what the noise was, just as a senior teacher was carrying him away - it was a gruesome sight that lingers still. 😟

Boy were we lucky in the mid 1950 while at primary school one of my ratbag mates found 3 or 4, on the railway line left by careless workers. We climb up a pine tree and dropped them down to the footpath for so called fun.
