I remember in my old house, I was fitting a loft ladder and the wife for some reason had the bath panel off cleaning, she jumped up ran right into the loft ladder, knocked to the ground and commando crawling through the hall into the bedroom she was shouting snake snake, anyways it was abit of wall fitting bracket, but how i laughed.
One week later we were fishing up north in the middle of no where, and she needed the call of nature, being in the middle of no where i convinced her she was ok to nip into the bushes, anyway about 20 minutes later she plucked up the courage. The next thing she comes tearing down the bank shouting snake snake. I of course was not buying it for one minute. I told her she would be only seeing one snake that weekend, and that was the jelly one in the pick and mix i bought her. So off she goes and comes back with a digital image of the biggest bloody adder I have ever seen!! She reconed it just about bit her right on the butt cheek!!!
I always wanted to ask someone more knowledgable about this, but in the same area of rannoch moor as the above about 7 years before, we had a huge fishing event, there was more booze than fishing, in fact i cant mind allot of fishing, but i ended up sleeping in the bushes somewhere, when i got up i couldnt bend my left knee. Once i was sobered up and ship shape i noticed the inside of my leg had a bright yellow line down it from the inside of my groin right down to my ankle. Beside my knee there were two little pin holes about 7mm apart. The yellow was there for about 3 days an after one day I could bend my knee again. I always wondered what bit me!!! anyone any ideas?
