What a horrible thought! I agree with Twellsy that hugs are a good thing but not with the ‘always’, I can definitely think of quite a few people with whom hugs would not be at all a good thing.

Blek. I can think of few things more disgusting (a patent lie, as those who know me well will attest).

Somewhere, closer than you might imagine, a boa constrictor grins quietly to itself…

Good point TFM

Cellerati however are always welcome to hug/be hugged

Shudders at the memory of some putative huggers who wanted to hug and kiss the peeler woman

Asks Darrington to heat the gin lake to just below the temperature of alcohol evaporation so a disinfecting swim may be enjoyed

I think it will be the alpaca one piece for my swim

A ball python no less

He is beautiful and has the most gorgeous soft skin - not scaly just satiny smooth and warm to touch

Amazed he left you the mice, to be honest ( no moles, though)

They don’t tell you that St P was the only one who saw the snakes in the first place.

I may or may not have made my first post on the old BBC boards (“I think Helen is wonderful and I’d like to give her a great big hug”) under the nym of Cuddles the Boa Constrictor…

The first snake I encountered in the wild was on a island: a grass-snake on the Isle of Wight.

The first lizard I encountered in the wild was on the island of Ireland. It was outside a small village near Wexford, sitting on a stone minding its own business, and left as soon as it noticed me.

They do if they are honest; there have never been snakes on Ireland, and only one sort of lizard.

I am slightly surprised that somebody didn’t smuggle vipers in there at some point and leave them to settle into the empty ecological niche there is.
