Can anyone advise what this little fellow is. We caught 3 of them within 5 minutes using feathers in about 40 ft of water next to a rocky outcrop.

Well Mr. Fish, it looks like you've caught a Graeme.

Hi MeMe,

Ignore these guys they're talking a load of POLLOCK'S !

MeMe · 08 October 2003, 15:03

Thanks Big A, are they tasty on the BBQ or not ? We threw them back because we didn't know.

Looks like a gurnard to me!

Indigenous to the British Isles, the species referred to is native to the Worsley area of Manchester, although sightings have been reported in locations as diverse as Kazakhstan, Russia and, to a lesser extent, Jordan and Syria. At week-ends it can frequently be observed on passage migration to North Wales where it seeks shelter in areas such as Cardigan Bay.

A gregarious creature by nature, it can often be seen basking in the Abersoch region in the company of vast throngs of fellow migrants and is instantly recognisable by its unmistakeably loud northern accent. In its natural habitat it will typically be found foraging offshore for chocolate teacakes or inbibing large quantities of Bailey's

Oh, you mean the fish? - it's a pollock.

another session laughing behind closed doors - thanks !

I'm intrigued, where does this MeMe come from??
Maybe I'm not alone here but it is an odd name. Was it because when you were a child and someone said who wants some ice-cream (or wharever) - you always said MEME??

You got it all wrong

When a nice Caravan site owner "Mr Robin B*stard" said what chesire folk can i rip off today, selling them a 20k caravan for 150k, graeme said meme

MeMe · 09 October 2003, 10:40

Jono, unlike you selfemployed entrepreneurial types who no doubt live up on the hill overlooking the harbour in palatial style, a £100k ish is all I can afford !!

Charles, like many I'm on-line under a pseudonyn related to the name of my vessel.

I'm on boat number 5 and all so far have been called MeMe, which, is also the pet name of my daughter Amelia, which, she gained from a friend of the same age who when little couldn't say Amelia - only meme. Thereafter and to this day it's stuck.

WAKE UP MAN.........

....so, when you are calling a mayday and the CG requests your boats name, he will instruct you to stop stuttering and tell you that he knows it's you (Me) gettit?
