Hissing sid

Post by Puppetmaster »

In Courier tells story of one guy emptying post box to be bit by a adder that had got some how inside box .This guy says he knew exactly what to do as was bit once before by a adder when playing golf.

Is something unexplained happening here,how many people do you know any where that have been bit by a adder ?
Then how many people have you heard of being bit twice in their lives ?

Also would you not see something when you opened box up?

I WISH THE GUY ALL THE BEST AND GLAD NOT IN HIS SHOES, but this is definatley weird

last year i was walking the dogs with my mum and little darths when we came across a nest of them,always read about this and have to confess never seen an adder before (in the wild)until then.they all disappeared sharpish so the chap must be incredibly unlucky as they are creatures that avoid man.either that or one of his mates could of done a james bond and planted one.allegedly.
