It was an accident you absolute cretin. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You leapt in head first with the massive guilt trip when the poster is clearly distressed as it is, and the poster has clearly stated that they're new to it, despite it being a malfunction due to abnormally hot weather. You didn't post "Ah that's horrible, I hope you've learnt your lesson, it's hard to keep koi during the summer, here's some pointers...". Instead you went full-on scorched Earth riot act, and then you dashed in some Avatar-style Hollywood bullshit by comparing the fish to the most adorable puppies on Earth. You weren't posting to help. You were posting to be a cunt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A person who has spent years building up to it also develops the knowledge needed to spot such issues before they become a problem. I've said everything I've said out of a deep passion for animals and don't much like your tones, you pricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deathrey Posted August 18, 2022 Share Posted August 18, 2022 For the record, I don't think keeping fish is easy, I've had tropical fish before so I know there is a lot of work involved. As you are probably aware @King Coconutfish are very sensitive and moving them can cause them a lot of distress and often results in them dying. The previous owner of our house who has kept Koi for 30 years asked us to keep them for this reason and said he would support us looking after them every step of the way, which he has been doing and up until this point, things had been going very well. It's not my job to convince you of anything, but what happened was a tragic accident. Had the pump cut out in the day, we could have done something but it went overnight and by the time we woke up at 7am, the damage was done.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted April 14, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted April 14, 2023 (edited) I vaguely remember, deep in the distant past, what it was like to have consecutive days where it wasn't clouting it down and blowing a gale.

It's the bits in between where its lovely and bright that trick you too. As my nan would say "it doesn't know if it's fucking or fighting". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperBacon Posted November 2, 2023 Share Posted November 2, 2023 Storm Ciaran means all the schools are closed today in Hampshire. I'm about 20 minutes inland so not too bad so far, but has been raining nonstop since Tuesday afternoon. Winds of 50mph later though, and the channel islands have recorded 100mph already. I'm nearly out of loo roll which is annoying. Not sure I fancy popping out in this.

Paid Members Gus Mears Posted November 2, 2023 Author Paid Members Share Posted November 2, 2023 I'm about another ten miles inland of you, Bacon and it is indeed shit. A car drove into my house a few weeks back and there's a 5 foot hole patched up with plywood which is useless in these conditions. Shit blowing about the hallway last night like we're doing a tribute to the Enfield Poltergeist films. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
