I used to love my tropical fish. Except for the angel fish. It ate the baby tetras. I found that quite traumatising.

No hassle, it was only a throwaway question really, I never realised there were so many budding marine biologists on the board!:pac:

I wanted to get a tropical fish tank the week we moved into the (now not so new) place. They really brighten up the place.

I love my angel fish, i don't keep tetras though, they don't last pissing time in my tank. I have 2 plecos, 3 angel fish and a few mollies. Really colourful tank.

Dingle is great. They have pub/hardware shop. You can buy Guinness and a hammer at the same time!

That same pub is a leather work-shop too, you can dirnk your pint with your hammer while you wait on your boots to be done!

Dingle still sucks though

If I were you I'd get a tortoise they'd make a much cooler pet than a gold fish.

At least I woudn't have to change the water and no fear of him running away.:pac:

That's a pleco, and guess what flahavaj? They survive in fresh water too! You can dump him in there in a goldfish tank.

You can sue people what they don't have too, they can pay on week to week basis.

Oh i could have a lot of fun milking orestes on a weekly basis for his dole money!!!

If only Sloths could be kept as pets, they sleep upto 18 hours a day, so no hassle at all :pac:

Aye, they die like flies alright, but they're pretty to look at. Had mollies myself. And no tank is complete without the bottom-feeders like plecos. I used to have a big selection of different Gouramis, which were brilliant cus they were nice to look at but lasted for years.

Anybody see the season finale of shameless last night? T'was so sad I must admit I was sobbing like a baby at the end. Cant wait for the next season.

How the hell were you able to keep Gourami's with pretty much anything else? They f*cking eat everything in sight!

It was unreal. This whole series has been exceptional. Thats the great thing about shameless, one minute its heart breaking, the next its hilarious, the next it incredibly tense.

I'd love to hear a drunken conversation between Frank gallagher and orestes.:pac:

Adjusting the title cos i'm not gonna keep slapping wrists for spoilers over a dumb soccer game in a WRESTLING forum!

Dunno. The only problems we ever had were with the angel fish. Some of the gouramis could be agressive alright, but I don't recall them eating anything.

I'd love a couple of them for my tank, as expensive as they are, i'd go without a weeks shopping. But i'd be scared that they would wipe out the tank.

Roy Keeeeeeeeeane like!
(f*ckin sheep shagger from Cork with a smell that would knock a fly off a bucket of sh*te!)

Bounty Hunter

im not from cork but i couldent disagree further ive always found myself agreeing 100% with what keane says. Ive not liked the situations he puts himself in by opening his mouth so often but i generally dont agree ( i say generally cos of alf inge haaland or however thats spelt). one of his problems is that he expects the people around him to do their very best always but some are happy with just doing what they can the FAI for example.


no im not from cork loike boi ya langer

Bounty Hunter

was trying to avoid ramblin above but alas here is the topic that will be brouht up should anyone reply and the perfect example of how i feel about Keane.

Saipan:

Keane criticised the preperation for the world cup and facilities which were amateur (he was 100% right imo but prob should have waited to say it) he was called before McCarthy with other senior squad members like Quinn and Staunton, where McCarthy went mad at him and apparently suggested he had feigned injury and not turned up in the past (not on at all if said even in private). Keane blew up at this and made the famous comments about McCarthy not being irish etc which lead to him being sent home (McCarthy had to after that outburst but....Keane never walked out he was sent home).

I agreed with Keane the whole way through but wish he kept his mouth shut. from that time on though ireland was split in 2 with regards Keane (cept Cork) and some will hate everything he does now some suggested its all good. for example his time at Sunderland and his prospects now at Ipswich

im impressed i think that all made sense ^^

Not sure I entirely agree with that, you forgot to mention the rows Keane had with Bonner and Kelly prior to his argument with McCarthy.
Keane basically got himself pushed out so he could absolve all blame of him walking. His timing was waaaaay off to air his grievance, but you pretty much acknowledged that anyway. McCarthy's nationality shouldn't have been an issue in that issue, that was just Keane being a complete and utter prick. McCarthy was defending in the World Cup in Italy in 1990 while Keane was trying to figure out what to do with a football!

Keane is his own worst enemy. I watched a lot of those Korea-Japan matches in 2002 whilst in Cork oddly enough, the outrage down there was chaos. God help you if you had a Dublin accent. Every asshole in every bar down there all had the same thing to say

"What ye think da Roy Keeeeeane situation like?"

Told em all the same thing, that they were both acting like kids, now please piss off and let me enjoy my pint. At that point I was 26 and getting too old for bar brawls.

im quoting you so i can just about focus and remember what im replying to so hope i make sense

Well iirc correctly the rows prior to Mccarthy were about the things he spoke out about i.e the preperation, training facilities etc, this was picked up on by two journos ans as keane always does he answerd their questions then the sh!tstorm started. Thats the thing with Keane he may tell the truth but he talks when others dont and then his words become a big media story.

you are right tho they both acted like children and it is a lot like the bret situation in as much as not just one person screwed the other.

McCarthy screw Keane, Keane screw McCarthy, Keane screw himself with his mouth, McCarthy screw himself losing his best player, they both scred us in a way.

as a manager I still think he has potential and like him going to Ipswich but think itl continue to be interesting to watch as he asks for 100% from all those around him and not all will meet his standards.

and yeah mcCarthys nationality had no place in it but from what i know that was probably him venting after the injury feigning thing

Would you consider getting a small shoal of clown loaches? I reckon they would go well in that tank, if you have the room.

I used to feed tetras to a polka-dot grouper when I worked in Petstop as a kid, I was a strange kid

You're still a strange kid, durron. Luckily for you, we wouldn't expect it any other way.

I've had a couple of clown loaches in there before, both places we got em before in the past, the loaches lasted a month tops. And the things are too expensive these days.

Gets tiring hearing them being called "nemo's" by younger visitors too!

I've no time for Roy Keane. Yeah, he was one of the greatest players of all time, but his mouth is far too big for his own good. I'd be fully behind McCarthy for the Saipan incident. And I thought Keane's carry-on with the media during his reign as Sunderland manager was pathetic.

I do like Goldfish though
