Thanks, the link is interesting and will read it thorough
Y tomorrow. My wife put it in the garden under some slate, and it dug itself lower.

Colin, I wouldn't have put it under a stone It'd have been under my shoe. I'm cruel I'm afraid. They make me shudder along with spiders and daddy long legs, moths and wasps etc. and are dispatched without sentiment. I know you shouldn't kill them but I work on the principal that there are loads more to replace them. Not an endangered species yet.  The only trouble is they make a gut churning crunch when you stand on them  G. |

I have a sister like that Colin, she won't even spray flies  but tries to catch them in a glass so that the poor little dears can be released into the great outdoors where they belong. It can be quite funny to watch !! And don't get me started on what they do on your food  G. |

Oh yes, there is a yoghurt pot and cardboard square upstairs, specifically for "catching" insects and releasing them out of the window, when all I want to do is pull their f'n legs off.
Yesterday, she mourned the loss of two goldfish. They lay "in state" in separate bowls of water for 24 hrs in the hope they would "come alive". What she hasn't noticed is that they've gone. I lifted the manhole up and down they went. I will tell her a seagull had them.

Colin the things you do for a peaceful co-existence beggars belief but since your wife seems to be ruling the roost there's not a lot more I can say. Colin if I've picked this up wrongly you haven't told it well enough |

Anything for a quiet life. So there I was, sitting on the loo, quietly contemplating when from the bottom of the stairs I hear the words " what have you done with the fish?".
"Oh, they went this morning, I dropped them down the manhole. Thought they should have a watery buried rather than rot in the dustbin".
Nothing more was said.

I have two goldfish............  If they died they'd be dispatched down the bog !!!  I believe that in some circumstances this method has even been found to revive them  although how you'd get them back, and what they'd smell like is a different matter. I would imagine they'd emerge up someone else's bog if they ever had the misfortune of an overflow, then flop about on the floor before expiring a second time because no one thought to put them in the bath. Talking of goldfish, do you know you should feed them fruit & veggies rather than dried flake food?? One of mine had a swim bladder problem, and thanks to advice from a member on here I changed his/her diet. goldfish2care4.com/goldfish-feeding.htmlJust thought I'd mention it. ALSO, it was on the radio last week, a couple had a pet goldfish that had a growth on it's head. It cost them £200 to take it to a specialist exotic pets vet in Bristol, to have the lump removed. Their justification was "if you have a pet dog or cat that's ill, you take it to a vet. Well we had a sick goldfish and that's our pet!!! "  Fair doos . G' |

G' Glenda, I have just read out your post and all of the link. I began to think it was a joke telling us about fruit and veg. Anyway it's food for thought and tomorrow, they may well start a new varied diet. |
