POLICE RESCUE 12FT–LONG MANY COLOUR SNAKE WITHOUT TOO MANY 'SLIPS AND SLIDES'.


Police in the West Midlands have rescued a 12ft-long python from the streets of West Bromwich.

Officers from Sandwell Police apprehended the creature just after midnight on Tuesday after a call from a member of the public.


Sandwell Police said: "Our officers are not easily rattled when it comes to responding to unusual calls as we deal with a huge variety of incidents.

"Just after 1.30am this morning [5 Sept] we received a call from a member of the public that a 12ft yellow python was slithering on Harwood Street, West Bromwich.

"While RSPCA colleagues would usually handle this situation they were not able to attend due to the time of the call so some of our brave response officers stepped in.

"We managed to safely rescue the snake and get it into our van without too many slips and slides.

"The snake was then transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital for overnight care."

It comes a week after a swan was caught slowing down traffic in Porthmadog, Gwynedd, before getting itself to safety.

The incident sparked comparisons with scenes from the film Hot Fuzz, where police officers (played by Simon Pegg and Nick Frost) in the fictional Sandford are called to catch a swan on the loose, spawning the meme: "Just the one swan actually."

40B'NAIRA WAS NOT BORROWED, DELTA @ 33 FORMATION.

Image
PRESS STATEMENT 27th August, 2024 GOVERNOR SHERIFF OBOREVWORI HAS NOT BORROWED A DIME  The Delta State Government notes with serious concern some reports in some online media platforms alleging that Governor Sheriff Oborevwori borrowed the sum of N40billion soon after assuming office. The reports are not only misleading, but also capable of creating misunderstanding and confusion in the State. For the avoidance of doubt, I wish to state categorically that the Delta State Government DID NOT Borrow N40 billion. And the Sheriff Oborevwori administration has not borrowed any dime till now. The records are there for anybody who cares for the truth to verify. What the Oborevwori administration did was to graciously guarantee a N40b loan facility for ALGON, to enable it offset the unpaid pension liabilities of retired Local Government personnel. Repayable over a five-year period, the loan is to be repaid through direct debits to the Local Government Councils.  Also read   https:...

The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566.

Image
The Battle of Siget from August 6 to September 7, 1566. In the Habsburg-Ottoman war from 1551 to 1562, the Ottomans besieged Siget (Hungarian: *Szigetvár)* in the spring of 1556, but the defenders under the command of Mark Stančić (Hungarian: Horváth Stancsics Márk) managed to defend the fort. In August 1561, Marko Stančić died, and in September of the same year Count Nikola IV Zrinski (Hungarian: Zrínyi Miklós) was appointed as the new captain of Siget, at his own request. The conflict between the Ottoman vassal and the pretender to the Hungarian throne, Duke of Transylvania Sigismund Zapolya and the Czech, Hungarian and Croatian king Maximilian II. Habsburg, and the failure of the siege of Malta in 1565, influenced the decision of Sultan Suleiman the Magnificent to break the truce concluded in 1562. At the age of 72 he undertakes the 13th campaign for his 45-year reign. The victory of the Croatian ban Petar Erdody near Obreska on September 10, 1565, over the army of the Bosnian Sandj...

DANGERS OF MARRYING AN ALREADY MADE MAN!!!

Image
Dangers of marrying an ALREADY MADE man!!! You see many girls are more interested in marrying boys who are doing well financially.  To them husband material is one with a good job, car and house.  Most of them do not realize that very few successful young men will bend for marriage.  They do not consider the dangers of marrying a man who’s life you have not contributed anything.  You just want to enter there and enjoy all the good things. What a shame ! Dangers of marrying already made men ; 1. They don’t change for any woman. If you found him taking alcohol, he will continue.  If you found him womanizing he will continue womanizing that comfort zone cannot be abolished by marriage. 2. You will have little say on what he has. When an already established man marries you, he doesn’t consider you as a person to value but a property to keep.  He will be counting you among the things he owns.  Many girls are treated like things and not humans because they l...

More rain fell in a four-hour period Tuesday in Canada’s largest city than Toronto’s average rainfall for the month of July, submerging city streets, shuttering highways and subway stations, and leaving tens of thousands of people without power.

How the Second World War Made America Literate

Image
books into the hands of overseas troops would very soon become far more important—as well as logistically challenging, given the size and weight of hardbacks. The solution was to distribute paperbacks, which had been introduced to the United States by Pocket Books in 1939. At a time when most hardbacks cost two dollars or more—$33 in today’s dollars—Pocket Books printed 38 million 25-cent paperbacks in 1943 alone. Its success persuaded other publishers that it would make commercial sense to work with the military on a program to print books for soldiers, the assumption being that to do so would create a new market for inexpensive paperback reprints after the war. Thinking along closely similar lines,  Time , the  New Yorker , and other magazines created miniaturized “pony editions” for servicemen. Thus, the Armed Services Editions, which were published by a civilian organization called the Council on Books in Wartime—compact, oblong, two-column-wide paperbacks that were design...
