I pity them. I really do. I'll bet they've never heard of Crystal Tips and Alistair either.

Let me help you with these Phoenix . . . Sweep - never trust a bear who doesn't say a word . . . Neither - they are both as corrupt as all get-out! Neil Buchanan . . . Noel Edmonds is seriously creepy. Jam, obviously It never left.

Can I answer? Stan White rose (despite choosing Stan before) Lampard, natch Cavalier - they have nice little spaniels NOT MILWALL WHAT ARE YOU THINKING? Elvis C

Agree with that. I usually look around the room, or see what's on the telly, and get something like amanocaponecheeseplant and throw in a few numbers and capitals.

It's like all of those "What is your Star Trek Alien name" thingies, where you have to take your middle name, and then the name of your first pet and add "-atratxa" or summat to the end of it, thus revealing Information that might help someone get into your bank account . . . .

What is your bank account number? What are your parents' bank account numbers? Where are the deeds to your parent's house kept? What about the keys then? Where do they keep the cash? Do you have a large dog? Is it usually safely shut in the kitchen? (So much useful information . . . ;):D)

My tanks . . . smell as sweet as your Aunt Petunia. What? Talcum powder, breath mints and gin? :rofl::rofl::rofl:

Et tu, Colin? <disappointed>

DIE, HERETIC! ? <sharpens pitchfork>

Punching above your weight there, Fishfaced! :rofl:

She looks amazing! As it happens, I was a Speech and Language Therapist and university Clinical Educator. My specialism was strokes and head injuries - I loved working with adults. it was my favourite client group - they all want to get well and work so hard. As well as being a practising...

Apparently they are totally harmless, Sgooosh. Just scavengers, but they are so disgusting I don't want them indoors.

I like pea puffers when they are tiny, but when they get big they are sinister . . . I've got shrimp in my main tank - I'm not really bothered what happens in my snail atrium except that I think these look creepy. I've put the whole kit 'n' caboodle outside because I just don't want the...

Oh! I hadn't thought of that - good point!

Sadly my fish are too small - I have a tank full of tiny tetras. I suppose of each of them grabbed a leg they could incapacitate the little creepies and leave them limbless on the gravel. :sad:

I'm of the opinion that it's okay to breed for desirable traits differing from the norm, as long as it isn't at a direct cost to the organism's well-being, especially in a way where it affects subsequent generations and plagues entire breeding lines with repeated problems. That in itself is a...

Oddly enough, no - he didn't cost as much to feed as you might think. He wasn't an active dog, and he didn't often eat a breakfast. The spaniels are working type and VERY active - they are on the go all day (we walk them in shifts :lol:) and they get about 4 - 5 hours free-running a day. They...

He was, Slap. Sweetest-natured boy. Would lie on the settee (having edged us off) covered with cats (we have 2) and spaniels (3). There was also a bull terrier at one point - his foster mammy - but she died 3 years ago, and it took a lot of the heart out of him. He loved her so much. The...

I'm not going to kill them (that would involve CONTACT - or at least LOOKING AT THEM <boak>) - I was just wondering if they were harmful (seems they're not) and how to get rid of them (I think it would involve dumping/sterilising EVERYTHING in the tank and starting over (too expensive) and how...

Also - I love your "about" 209 ramshorns. That is a delightfully specific number to be vague about - LOVE IT! :lol:

They just appeared, as though by magic (or perhaps MAGYCK!), as though some demon has cast an evil spell on my snailarium. I also have another big plastic (coldwater) container with extra plants in it - I am going to check that today to see if anything untoward is in there <shudder>.

I am very dainty, Colin. It's true. But that is an adult human female hand. And a big pup foot. [grin]

It IS a big pup foot! Great dane - he was 9/10 weeks old when that picture was taken. We very sadly lost him last September. Back legs kept collapsing under him - the great tragedy of a dog that size is when their joints go, that's the end really. it was very distressing for him - and for...

Aquarium 'roaches just about sums them up! ??????????

I did - holding the bowl in my Marigold-gauntleted hands! The whole caboodle is in the garden now . . . plotting . . .

;)

<BOAK> :sick: :sick::sick: Still - I suppose at least everybody gets a leg.

Really? What sort of sick puppy are you? ???? :mad: They are horrid!

You want them? They're yours! Watch out for a FedEx driver holding out a box at arms length and trying not to scream! They really are repulsive. About half an inch long, but with more legs, antennae and segments than any creature NOT from the 9th Circle of Hell has a right to.

Aren't they just! I felt physically sick, and I'm not a squeamish person. Spiders, woodlice, earwigs - nothing usually upsets me, but these . . . <boak> :sick::sick::sick:

Thanks, Colin. I'm just worried that if there are any in there they will breed, and breed, and breed, and . . . I only have little fishies . . .

I've had to post a youtube thingy because I can't do photos, but these little horrors have appeared in my "delinquent snail bowl" (I have an unheated bowl that I tip extra "stowaway" snails into as they appear in the tank, just to keep the numbers down. I squash the tiny ones, but anything...

Jealousy, Phoenix. Just jealousy.

My Amazon swords are growing like things possessed - as is the Wallis, the elodea and the crypts . . . but the java, to my great disappointment (I'd bought it because it was supposed to be bombproof) just vanished.

Not just me, then? My java fern had a short but miserable life - it seemed to blossom early on, but after about 5-6 months it obviously decided life wasn't worth living any more and disappeared almost overnight. Didn't even leave a suicide note. Dead! - And never called me "Mother". :eek:

I had a tank of sticklebacks for about three years when I was a kid - they were great!

You really, really are beyond redemption, Colin. Bad Colin! Bad, bad, werewolf! Go to your basket NOW!

What size is your tank? My neons are evil little buggers! Or they were when there were 10 of them. I'm down to 5 now due to natural loss. Four go about in a small gang, and one hangs about on its own under the driftwood. They used to make my glowlights' lives a misery. We put a dozen...

While I think that many of them - especially the winner here - are incredibly beautiful, I will never not be creeped-out by angelfish! :lol::lol::lol:
