So you were making love to your Koi. I bet they are glad you filled the pond in and gave them away.Alan H wrote:Yes really. The word 'Koi' means 'coloured carp', so koi carp' would be coloured carp carp. Like I said, no such thing as koi carp. Unlike me to be so picky, I suppose.canaletto5 wrote:Really ?Alan H wrote:Paul does a lot of carping - most of it quite common. Richard has never been coy about anything as far as I'm aware.
Now Koi would be a fish of a different colour......
(Look it up, there's no such thing as 'Koi carp'.)

I was Vice Chairman (nowt t'do wi' vice!!!) and newsletter editor for the Yorkshire Association of Aquarist Societies many years ago, and also wrote articles for the Aquatic magazines about my fish breeding exploits, so I do know a bit about the subject!

She knows and is happy about it - and with me........
I'll make sure she knows about your concerns before you meet her at the Rally.
Err, you have sent the deposit for the hotel haven't you?
I wouldn't like you to miss the rideouts and 'banter' for want of a few drinking vouchers..
Don't worry, I'll get Scotch to translate - if he gets permission from Baz to attend.
