Thanks for that, Martin. Another useful link. I'll have a good read
tomorrow. Spent the day in the garden today and pulled a muscle
helfting something, so just catching up here now.
Thanks again.

Take it easy. Get well soon.

Isn't that what the sexy oyster did - pulled a mussel?



Grooaaann! I shan't get a winkle of sleep now, after that :~).

I'll clam up, then




Now don't get crabby.

More internet prawn



Whelk'ould do without that.

Prawn cocktails are off, dear.




Nonsense. You're just gar gar.

Did you say that on porpoise?




No. I said it to har-wrasse you!

Are you a spider crab?



Nah. I'm a crabby spider, a bit of a snapper at times. You may wish
to mullet over ;~).

Not sure he's herring you correctly!

Thanks for that, Martin. Another useful link. I'll have a good
read
tomorrow. Spent the day in the garden today and pulled a muscle
helfting something, so just catching up here now.
Thanks again.

Take it easy. Get well soon.

Isn't that what the sexy oyster did - pulled a mussel?

Grooaaann! I shan't get a winkle of sleep now, after that :~).

You cod always take an aspirin!

I'd rather keep the hake.

Have you seen the whiting on the wall?




No, but I smelt it.

I think this and Rusty's megrim may well be the winners!




Without a shad-ow of doubt.


Scalloping off into the sunset.




Eel be back before long.

Nonsense. You're just gar gar.

No. I said it to har-wrasse you!

Are you a spider crab?



Nah. I'm a crabby spider, a bit of a snapper at times. You may wish to
