OOK

Today I am, don’t tell anyone…. *whispers* working. LOL, been a week of afternoon teas and gentle puttering. Today and tomorrow are going to make up for it though.

Bad luck Lanpenn, means there is something better out there for you.

This is the video I put up before, the fish always do this same thing. I do feed predominantly dry food, but have fed live food recently so will see if that changes anything.

Gille Dubh in his best supermodel pose. He is definitely worth it. Born blind and brought in to be euthanised at 7wks I brought him home instead. We use the glasses if he is out in the sun as his pupils don’t constrict so we worry about sun damage. If we’re wandering through a forest, he...

As it says in the header. I’m having issues with diamond headed tetras. It’s over the space of several months but they keep coming down with this, then waste and either die or get put out of their misery. Nothing else in the tank is having any issues.

I seem to remember Byron saying he loitered on the forum but didn’t have the energy to reply often. If he’s still doing this, I’m sure he will be uplifted to see how many of us still send positive thoughts towards him.

It just takes them getting you at the wrong time, when you’re a little vulnerable. A few years back my hubbie was in cardio-thoracic high dependency because some silly woman had changed lanes without looking and bounced him off her car and into the railings around the pelican crossing. They...

Sorry to revive this thread but I’ve had further fish do this, and now as of Friday, another 2 are doing the same. This seems a bit of a co-incidence, they’re all diamond headed tetras bought at the same time from the same store. In the last 8mths I’ve had around 6 or 7 do this. Is there...

Better luck next time. Sadly was too late to vote, but it allowed me anyways, always good practice.

Love this thread, so great to watch them puttling around. Congrats.

We had one on a course I did called Barry the B**turd. No prizes for guessing why he got that name! Not at all like the little barn owls who were so cute, I couldn’t get them off me they were so keen for a cuddle. However my favourites were the vultures. An under-rated bird.

Pointless

Tight lines Blardy chilly here, and with the wind it’s even colder. Have decided I’m a fair weather fisherman so will be another month before I’m out.

Controversial

Did you get your name from Exploding Kittens? If not they’ve pinched your name.

Happy Birthday Simonas. Hope having to pop into work didn’t detract from an otherwise chilled day

Hmm, I’ve done two of those jobs and one I’ve often thought I’d enjoy

Similar to Blondie… we’re electrical creatures, it is what makes us work. The electrical impulse that causes our heart to beat, the electrical impulses that potentiate our nerves. This is what I believe is our “soul”. Electricity can’t “die”, it just is. So when our physical body is...

Congratulations @Lanpenn . What is the article? @JuiceBox52 wow, hope you get connected with someone soon. We used to treat atlantoaxial subluxations in my last job (animals obs), very delicate surgery. As long as it was diagnosed quickly enough the animals were in quickly for treatment. I...

LOL, my ‘tar has been the same for years, as with others perhaps it is time for a change. I chose it whilst I was looking for a logo for my business, it was my original logo, changed that several years ago. It’s environmentally green and holistic and sharp and spikey (I stab people for a...

I moved my 200litre tank last August and boy was it stressful. If I had to do it again I think I would try and find someone to take the tank for a week or two around moving to reduce the stress. Our move went horribly wrong and I ended up with the fish in bags for over 9hrs, how I didn't lose...

What a gorgeous tank. I've always wondered about open top tanks, don't they get issues with dust and other random stuff on the logs/plants/water etc?

Nothing to add, just wanted to say your tank looks lovely, what I can see of it and I now love silver dollars... gah, now I need another tank!

Today I spent hours on hold to HMRC as they're charging me interest on non-payment when I've paid, in full, on time. Honestly, I seriously wonder why I like being self-employed. Nothing but hassle.

Thank you. Much better now, I'm not getting tons of emails. I've already got 4091 and counting that I'm trying to go through and delete as it is (and that's just one email address, I have 11). This was pushing me over the edge lol

Just a thought, but we were stuck for time in one room in our old house and used the wall emulsion to do the skirting boards rather than gloss them. End product looked very good (even if I do say so myself). If it's not a high traffic area i.e. lots of stuff against the skirting boards so they...

I'm getting way to many emails about posts to my private email address so I went in to amend the settings. I'm a little confused as to the difference between alert v push though. I've unticked all the push boxes as I'm assuming they are the ones that email me. Do I need to untick the alert...

LOL, used to guddle for lampreys as a kid, very alien looking. I seem to remember reading they are endangered now.

Yes, I advertise on Insta and Faceache.

Today I am trying to persuade busy self-employed people to take part in a one hour interview for my MSc. I only need 6 - 10, cross your fingers, I have a sneaky suspicion it will be a tall order. In part because it’s a niche topic and in part because… well who can be bothered!

That is shocking! To me that shows they know they are providing a sub par service

Did writing to your government help at all Colin_T? I have an appointment with a company on Wednesday to hopefully fix it?! Keep everything crossed.
