This is the Dawning of the Age of Aquariums



"IIIII've been thinking about getting an aquarium,
so homeless fish can come and live with me,

and IIIIIII'd make sure that I took good care ee um,
and fed them all quite regularly*"

"*but taking care not to overfeed .


A verse from that timeless classic "I'm Going Back to Selling Harmoniums"




I've got an aquarium. Containing: FISH

Yes, I've been given an aquarium. It came from a man who is going to America.
In these days of heightened security, you're no longer allowed to take aquariums on planes, so he gave it to me.

It contains the fish shown above, plus three little fishies and one other fish that looks like a small eel and lives on the bottom. I must find out how to look after them, but they look happy enough at present. Though I'm not quite sure how to tell if a fish looks happy.

They say that a goldfish never forgets, but to be honest, they don't have an awful lot to remember in their daily lives, do they? No shopping lists or anything. Or if they did it would be fairly short - fishfood. That's it.

A goldfish is happy if its not carping on about everything.
