Hi everyone this is James Harkin and Anna Tashinsky two writers of the TV show

QI and two-fourths of the hit podcast no such thing as a fish.

We'd like to let you know that we've written a book it It is called everything to play for. The most

interesting things there are to know about the world of sports. It's for you

whether you like sports or not. Did you know that legendary cricketer Gary Sobers scored his final century while drunk?

Or that games of lacrosse used to involve 100,000 players.

Learn that and so much more by getting everything to play for the QI Book of Sports available

in all bookshops and online right now.

I'm John Batcheter, Friends of History Debating Society with Jeremy Zuckus in New South Wales.

We have been approaching reptiles in terms of you really don't want to be in a room with an eastern

brown snake.

However, we're now going to approach reptiles and all

reptiles, not just snakes, from the point of view of the strange weather that might become

normal. Remember, we're looking at a report that we could achieve 1.5 degrees

centigrade from pre-industrial levels this year. Now, Australia looking however at weather patterns that suggest the

rains are going to be the new normal and then it's going to have a drought hit them later in the year.

What does this mean for the reptiles?

Now Jeremy, we've been reporting on the wrestling carpet pythons, the very sneaky Easterns who find anywhere in your house they just flash in, including

the Christmas tree, some red-bellied black snakes and some piping under the sink, masquerading as a snake, scaring everybody.

But I'm, the logic of this, Jeremy, you live with reptiles, I don't't I just find this all kind of upsetting

that you can leave the screen door unlatched and you're going to have snakes

attack you in the kitchen but in any event, these weather conditions can begin to explain why there looks to be a surge of snakes coming into human habitats or human areas.
