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 maintenance”.

#3
“Albert the anaconda was allegedly presented by a bishop in what is now Guyana : ::redcard::

to the Colonial Secretary in the 19th century”, the Foreign Office said.

#4
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.

#5
“It is quite a bit of money, but he is a very big snake."  ::rofl::

#6

and Ramsammy .... ::rofl::
