...the Female Goldfish has literally risen from the dead! A deceased Goldfish she is no more!


So I was cleaning the tank out for Goldie and her terrifying Male companion(who seems to take up half the tank) and inthe seperate bowl I temporarily keep them in I noticed serious signs of distress from both of them.The Male was struggling for breath and Goldie just stopped and floated sideways. I put the new system in the tank and put the Male back in,but was not going to bother with Goldie,who was not moving at all and was "obviously" no more. I put Goldie in the empty kitchen sink where she lay motionless. The Male had fully recovered in the Tank but what was the point of re-introducing him to his dead companion? But to try to show him she was "gone" I put her in and he ignored the 2dead2 body.She floated sideways and got stuck under the tube circulating the water.No movement apart from being swirled round by the flow of the oxygen system.

As I was about to fish her out,I thought I noticed a mouth gesture.Surely not!? Then the fins "appearred" to slowly move but surely it was the ebb and flow of the tank.To my amazement there was life.She stopped floating aimlessy sideways and definitely made some solo movements!(tu)

Anyway bottom line is they are both swimming merrily around eating their food wondering what the fuss was all about!:))


I'm fairly new to Goldfish ownership(having simply rescued the 2 goldfish left behind for 3 months by my previous next-door neighbours so can anyone tell me-Is this normalB)

I'm genuinely sorry it's come to this TLS, but you have to be warned and warned now.

Never, under any circumstances try to cross-pollinate Monty Python and Fawlty Towers in my presence again.

It's one of those situations, where if the two worlds get too close then they 'planet shag' and we return to 'Love Thy Neighbour' and 'The Good Life' being the only comedy shows on TV. And if they shagged each other we'd end up with Richard Briers as a Black factory worker and Paul Eddington as his sexy bikini-clad wife, with Kate Williams playing the part of a White male bigot, and Nina Baden-Semper playing the part of that peculiar little geezer, whose only line was 'I'll 'ave 'alf'.

And no one wants that surely?

As Bernard Cribbin's character in the Fawlty Towers' episode The Hotel Inspectors remarked "I'm not a violent man..."

TLS, I trust you'll accept this in the spirit intended.

All hail the coming of TLS for he isn't just a very naughty boy, he is the Messiah, and an East Dulwich miracle has been performed.


We can apply to Rome to have the miracle recognised and a sainthood bestowed on TLS. I had an audience with His Holiness in Rome two years ago (I kid you not) so obviously I've already got a foot in the door and could put a word in.


I feel honoured just to share your post code TLS.

Ah, TLS the end of Jeremy K when the DNA/lie detector results are revealed is of course too good to miss. Sets one up nicely for Pip and Fern that does.

Well the Pet Shop Owner told me that Godfish(presumed "dead" but in a state of "shock" do need another shock to enliven them so who knows?..Your Famous Five might still be Alive!":))

Look after Goldie?..Her Male companion does that job! He never stops growing and soon lets me know if they are hungry by flailing around and threatening to jump ship until I get the message!B)

U sure they are goldfish and not some sort of fish shaped demon representative of the devil?

      Fireworks

      By Sue · Posted

      I think the only way to sort this is to ban loud fireworks for private sale (and preferably ban fireworks altogether except for public displays). I don't know whether that has implications I'm not aware of eg I have no idea how many people are involved in firework manufacture.

      Very happy to recommend Tommy Rooney's excellent work again. He's been servicing my boiler for years now, but this time he swiftly fixed a leaky radiator valve. I put out a call on Friday and it was repaired - and improved - by Monday evening. I asked him if he had an opinion about my other radiators, and he reassured me as he pointed out the leaky bathroom rad was a non-standard length, which was why it caused problems. There followed a brief but detailed history of improvements in regulations for valves and fittings over the years, so that I could understand precisely what the issue was. How many plumbers will do that for you? "I've just got a memory for weird things," says Tommy modestly.

      Labour have changed a number of things overnight.   1. VAT on school fees - this has resulted in 25,000 moving until state education. 2. Increasing NICs adding billions to the cost of going to work. 3. Introducing the Employment Rights Bill causing employers to stop hiring. This and item 2 have added 100,000 people to the unemployment scrapheap. These are also causing businesses to relocate further harming the economy. 4. Scrapping all the small boats deterrents meaning 60,000 illegal migrants have arrived in small boats since they were elected. 5. Dishing out huge public sector payroses with no conditions so we have a massively increased payroll and doctors etc arestill going out on strike. 6.changed IHT and non domicile tax rules causing 16,500 millionaires to leave the UK and stop paying any tax here at all forever. 7. Alongside 6, leaving the budget up until an historically late period after the last budget has caused a house price crash, killing the market and decimating government stamp duty receipts. 8. Their profligate borrowing (£100bn extra in just one year) to fund all their lavish promises means the government can now only borrow at the highest ever yields on records. They are more beholden to the bond markets than Liz Truss was. 9. The rate of inflation has doubled under this government. It was a healthy 2% when they came in. For most of the last year, as a result of all of the above it is now nearly 4%.   These are all decisions the Labour government took that have immediate cause and effect.  Its no good harking back to 15 years ago. The current administration was gifted the fastest growing economy in the G7 and within 15 months they have destroyed it.    And things are only going to get worse this winter.
