LONDON, Nov 2 —
Britain’s Foreign Office spent £10,000 (RM49,000) to re-stuff the corpse of a giant 120-year-old snake,
at a time when government departments are being told to rein in spending.
In response to a Freedom of Information request from political blog Guido Fawkes,
the Foreign Office said the 6-metre anaconda — called Albert — ::lol:: ::lol::
had been in poor condition and required “essential maintenanceâ€.
“Albert the anaconda was allegedly presented by a bishop in what is now Guyana : ::redcard::
to the Colonial Secretary in the 19th centuryâ€, the Foreign Office said.
A spokesman for the Foreign Office recoiled at the suggestion that reviving Albert’s
looks might not be essential work for a government whose prime minister
warned voters just last month to brace for “painful decisions†on the economy.
“It is quite a bit of money, but he is a very big snake." ::rofl::
They shouldda mail Albert back to Rohee :
and Ramsammy .... ::rofl::
Albert resemble Burnham bad bad. ::lol::
