My poor fish

[placidfemme]

poor lil fishies...

9 of our fish ate our 10th fish... it just went "poof" and was gone... so they didn't get dinner that night... because they ate thier friend bad fish...

[Riff Raff]

And the purpose of this was?

One would assume it was to dissuade the other fish from rudely dying.

[ManDownUnder]

what about bread crumbs in the tank - just a few to feed 'em while you find the real deal?

Good thought.
"Okay youse fishies. Lookee here - if yas don't wanna end up hangin by your tail from da wall, DON'T GET SICK! Got it?!? Now back to ya swimmin' and fightin' and suchlike, and NO MORE OF THAT DYIN' SHIT, OK?!?!?"

And it was pretty rude of them dying like that - Phil was a student, and they were blardy expensive.

And Alaralaralarumba: they was (mostly) fairly small fish, like neon tetras and the like. Maybe they did whiff a leeedle bit, but mostly they just sort of dried out and mummified.
I guess you just had to be there...

Is 'frozen' the right word? Must be cold in your place!

it's fuckin Dorkland.. . anything below 25c and the power co's cannot cope with the all the heaters turned on.....

[ManDownUnder]

Ha ha. We've just been issued with ginourmous welding gloves and a tack hammer to stop us using oxygen bottles for window breakage purposes.

Shame they didn't really think about it...

A pair of gloves form AMPS or Colemans would have much more appropriate - knuckle protectors, a better fit etc...

They're pathetic, innit?
. . .

innit: pommy slang for 'isn't it'
therefore;
'They're pathetic isn't it' -Nah still doesn't make sense.

. . . , that's about the limit of their intelligence, as their memory is too short to remember . . . . .

New studies have shown. . . no really! -was on that Robert Winston program, that fish do have long memories after all. Within reason of course. Still boring little F'ers though.

. . . , , and they (apparently) don't have a mechanism to tell them they're full, so you can keeping feeding them all day.
. . .

Have you not met a cat?

..

'Tis correct. "innit" = " Is it not so ?"

therefore, 'They're pathetic , is it not so'. Quite grammatically correct, though a Gallicism.

section 28 Fire Service Act,
sub section 4, sub sub sections A) to N) and a bloody big Firemans Axe

then section 42/43 re liabilty waiver

LOL, Lucky I dont have fish to feed.

[F5 Dave]

Innit can become Is it not?, but to stretch to 'Is it not so', why not add another few verses? Surely if the saying was Innits then I would agree.

Besides this horse is down & I ain't halfway stopped flogging.

[Flyingpony]

I am - thanks for the offer. How you gonna get in tho, or shouldn't I ask?

Actually, on second thoughts, those fish haven't done anything for me lately, and one of them was inconsiderate enough to die recently (still haven't found the body), so they can have a day of fasting.

Try looking behind where ever the tank is.
They're known to jump out of their tanks if they're hungry or the oxygen levels get too low.

Just proves how stupid fish are as they just kept dying...

One of my moms birds she keeps here just died and it's still in the cage. I'm hoping the other one will join it soon. Damn annoying noisy thing. Cat's gonna eat well one day...

[yungatart]

Especially inside a wall

Or curtain rods!

[yungatart]

Have you not met a cat?

Yeah!! Ours is (un) affectionately known as the stomach bag. Conned Mr Yungatart into giving her breakfast, then had the audacity to con me into doing the same. Baaah stomach bag!

Aww, that's a bit mean . . . . Fish only have a 20 second memory (or summit) so in theory it's kinda like having alzheimers (sp?) they just forgot . . .
