BUT
He has in his back pocket a piece of paper. This paper has been handed down father to son over many generations and has magical powers to protect the snake catcher from the snake! The snake will be under his control!
Presumably it was written / created , no doubt at a cost, by some long dead witchdoctor/shaman. The man wouldn’t show me the paper, fearful it’s powers would be destroyed.
Though dead, the cobra appears to have it’s hood extended. This is achieved by forcing an appropriately shaped piece of plastic cut from a bottle, down the dead snakes throat.
The snakes fate? It will spend snake eternity in a large glass bottle immersed in a not very nice Vietnamese rice wine. Drink the wine and you can shag all night and have many children!

It’s expensive!
Don’t dig there, dig it elsewhere.You’re digging it round and it ought to be square.The shape of it’s wrong, it’s much too long,And you can’t put a hole where a hole don’t belong. Bernard Cribbins 1962 – and that’s that!
In the north of the island is a massive new resort complex called VINPEARL It has five star accommodation and every amusement you can think of plus a tropical sea to play in. The VIN group is engaged in every form of commerce in Vietnam culminating in the production of Vietnam’s first home produced cars called VINFAST. (They look very good). The same company also produces a very nice electric motor scooter. The road between the main town of Duong Dong and VinPearl is currently being upgraded with lights and proper flood drains so there’s a lot of digging going on.
‘Elf an Safety! – well he has got a reflective top on!
Along this road is the entrance to a brand new very big Movenpick five star hotel, a year ago the directions would be – turn left just after the huge land fill site which is now a mountain of rubbish so bad that they tried to obscure it with high green metal sheets, was a haven for insects and smelt awful – Miraculously this has now disappeared.
No anaesthetic required!
Really annoying – “Upspeak”
Practised by super-cool young-ish academics with muscles (and maybe a tattoo) being interviewed as experts on the TV. Speech cadences are deliberately raised at the end of sentences. In effect making every sentence a question.
Try it – Boris Johnson is very intelligent.
