just a quick question, does the fish shop the side of the pub need planning permission? it lookes good... its a shame he could'nt use 1 of the empty shops instead
-
If you mean the fish man who sells from the back of his van, at the side of the Bulls Head - Why would he want to use an empty shop- he does not pay any business rates at the moment!!

its not a van
-
Well it's got a windscreen, a roof, four wheels and no windows down the side. So it's a van! ::)
-
Would you put the "Big" Issue man in the same boat as the fish(er)man
-
Its a semi permanent structure now. Not a van.

Somethink fishy going on hear
-
Good luck to the boy, me thinks he might come unstuck as he may need permission fom the council. Still nice to have fresh fish available
-
He may need permission but as I'm sure you would agree, it may be difficult for the council to catch the fish man unless he's a Dog Fish or a mackerel :D
-
This is a load of pollocks!
-
Sorry about that!
-
There's a time and a plaice for fish puns Alan >:(

Children in Need Fishy Challenge - to Wind up Marple's Premier Tree Sturgeon
With apologies to Alex, who intended this as a serious topic, I'm going to extend a CIN challenge to you hilarious people to keep this up until midnight tonight. For every unique fish (or fishy item) mentioned in an amusing way the Marple Website will donate £1 to Children in Need, up to a max of £50.
So far we are up to 22, so it's going to get harder as repeats will not be accepted. And it's no good just listing fish - you need to make us chuckle and try to follow the thread wherever it leads on this fishing trip adventure.
-
I can see a tench of desparation beginning to set in by the end of the night.
-
When does it close? Salmon chanted evening! ;D
-
Look you lot, there's a time and a Plaice for this type of childish behaviour!

Darn it - I just realised there was more than one page of this. Just realised someone already did plaice!
-
Feel like a right Chub now
Just make sure this thread doesn't descend into any Bass humour
(have I redeemed myself?) :)
-
Have I pointed out recently that Marple is getting a crappie (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crappie) deal from the college, would be nice to knock them off their perch (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perch) ? Sorry I'm no ray (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Batoidea) of sunshine.
Mind you, I've been banging my drum (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drum_(fish)) concerning that for quite a while now.
-
Very good Neil, the links to Wiki are a nice touch. Perch has been done already, so I make that £29 so far.
Barbra's Salmon chanted evening is my favourite to date but the ones in red are all worth a £1.
A new sub-rule is introduced as from now - any further mention of the college / supermarket will a result in a £1 penalty - so let's make sure CIN don't end up owing me and leave that for other threads.

This is getting out of Line

Glad you've reeled us back in Alan ::)

I am having a whale of a time with this
-
I've been trying to mullet over a tuna in my head by a grouper I heard recently but my herring must be going because I am flounder -ing.
-
I didn't want to get into this, I wanted to get out my Guitar, fish around on the net for something to play along to.
My kids were driving me mad listening to some Tuna think by Kylie Minnowgue and I needed the escape.
I could have played along to Kylie with my Stingray which for those of you who don't know is a Bass guitar.. BUT I'm more of a RockBass kind of player.. I like a bit of Sole music too.
Anyways, I Smelt something cooking downstairs, the OldWife was cooking some pasta again. I can guess she was thinking.. "I'll do some Spaghetti Eel like that.. and I do.. but not every Ruddy day! (if she read this.. I'd be sure of a Shiner!!)
The accompanying bread didn't have butterbot margarine. Which always has that Tang.
Anyways.. Get your hands in your pockets and donate to Children in Need, http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/donate/ (http://www.bbc.co.uk/pudsey/donate/) I'm Saury for the Cobblers story! but not sorry if it makes CIN more money!
-
Good to see so many people mussel-ing in on this thread.
PS Sorry to carp, but a whale is not a fish! Do you feel a bit of a prawn, Alan? ;D
-
Just realised mussel had already been used. Never mind - come on you lot, let us not be small fry and raise lots of squids for CIN.

Barbara, stop being KOI

That sure was a bad one Howard, it stinks, I smelt (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smelt_(fish)) it a mile off. Brill (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brill_(fish)), it wasn't. Will a more cunning ling (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_ling)uist come along, perhaps someone who's a bit of a starfish (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starfish) at this stuff, a dab (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_dab) hand.
And what's all this I heard about the prospect of a pike (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Esox)y settlement being mullet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mullet_(fish))ed over by SMBC ? Will ask around about this tomorrow while at church (as I'm a prawn (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prawn)-again Christian).
-
No need to be crabby and stop being shellfish, the scales are up and down like the tides and my keep net is really battered, I must change my frying oil and just for the record I really hake this and have haddock enough.
-
Oh and bream me up captain Birdseye! White bait until tomorrow were trying to reel in some much needed plankton for the children in need and if we don't raise the stated 50 then it will sardine me so keep net thinking and dragnet your minds or I will have to prawn my watch to meet the quota, feel free to tackle me and maggot to mention I've got a new gold fish tank.

I agreed to have my hair shaved off by a kid for children in need. It's true, it looks bigger afterwards.
