Hi there, sorry i miss you lot, called into the shop around 12 and left around 1 to continue my journey to M. head @ Cambridge and St. Albans. Great shop, saw some new species of Danios i'm going to try. S. sp. crimson were wicked!! the mountain swordtail, i nearly bought, liked the big marine display tank opposite the counter, could hardly seen any live rock with all the corals, lovely. That is a big Wyevale!!! Called into the Barn garden centre, what a difference i worked in their i think over 12 yrs ago. very basic fish system now.
PLEASE DON'T TAP THE GLASS!!!!

How often do you get up this way Dave ?

If you are ever up this way again and want to call in feel free :)

Jon!!! It's a shame you didn't introduce yourself as we were still all there at 12:45ish!!! You could have come to the pub with us. Did you speak to Adrian yet, I spoke to him on the phone to say you hadn't made it so he'd have to come for the modestas another time.

Back in my uni days (a year or two ago :lol: ) the band I was in used to play gigs up and down England when we found the time. There was a band we got on really well with in Boro so that was always a favourite! Alas, haven't been up since then. If I ever am there again I will definitely give you a shout! (Go for a pint and a chicken parmo!)

Hey Les, you've let the cat out of the bag now mate, Anne my wife saw the vid of me talking about setting the room back up as my fish room.
she wanted that room back just in case our Pat came for a visit.
i walked in just as the vid was finishing mate, her face was not a pretty picture i can tell you. :lol:
don't care it's still gonna be my fishroom.

There is a volume control for a reason there Mick (-:

Just show Anne this one and she'll appreciate the restraint you showed in your purchases (-:

Les, my 14yo thinks you sound like someone who does the narration for those National Geographic specials.

"I bet he's old and fat, right?"

"No, he's young, thin and cute."

"Really????
