...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?

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By malumbu · Posted

      The current wave of xenophobia is due to powerful/influential people stirring up hatred.  It;'s what happened in the past, think 1930s Germany.  It seems to be even easier now as so many get their information from social media, whether it is right or wrong.  The media seeking so called balance will bring some nutter on, they don't then bring a nutter on to counteract that. They now seem to turn to Reform at the first opportunity. So your life is 'shite', let;s blame someone else.  Whilst sounding a bit like a Tory, taking some ownership/personal responsibility would be a start.  There are some situations where that may be more challenging, in deindustrialised 'left behind' wasteland we can't all get on our bikes and find work.  But I loathe how it is now popular to blame those of us from relatively modest backgrounds, like me, who did see education and knowledge as a way to self improve. Now we are seen by some as smug liberals......

      Dell Autos is closing tomorrow

      Kwik Fit buggered up an A/C leak diagnosis for me (saying there wasn't one, when there was) and sold a regas. The vehicle had to be taken to an A/C specialist for condensor replacement and a further regas. Not impressed.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      Yes, these are all good points. I agree with you, that division has led us down dangerous paths in the past. And I deplore any kind of racism (as I think you probably know).  But I feel that a lot of the current wave of xenophobia we're witnessing is actually more about a general malaise and discontent. I know non-white people around here who are surprisingly vocal about immigrants - legal or otherwise. I think this feeling transcends skin colour for a lot of people and isn't as simple as, say, the Jew hatred of the 1930s or the Irish and Black racism that we saw laterally. I think people feel ignored and looked down upon.  What you don't realise, Sephiroth, is that I actually agree with a lot of what you're saying. I just think that looking down on people because of their voting history and opinions is self-defeating. And that's where Labour's getting it wrong and Reform is reaping the rewards.

      The economy, a sensible debate in advance of the budget

      By malumbu · Posted

      @Sephiroth you made some interesting points on the economy, on the Lammy thread. Thought it worth broadening the discussion. Reeves (irrespective of her financial competence) clearly was too downbeat on things when Labour came into power. But could there have been more honesty on the liklihood of taxes going up (which they have done, and will do in any case due to the freezing of personal allowances).  It may have been a silly commitment not to do this, but were you damned if you do and damned if you don't?
