If Only I Had Some Jelly

[bobf]

Once they've figured the jelly reference I'll start posting in Welsh and really confuse everyone

Aaah, Pobol y Cwm! Cwyb Rygbi!

And that is the extent of my Welsh knowledge...

And for the Yanks (and reclusive Northerners) out there, Jellied eels (normally Anguilla anguilla) is a regional speciality of East London and Essex. Though the jelly in question is neither Jam (the yank meaning) or a sweet Gelatin based desert (the UK version). I work with a lady who keeps threatening to feed my eel to her husband with some jelly...

Jellied eels taste even worse than lava bread (a welsh speciality)

 

[Mr Miagi]

I tried eel in Japan, its definitely an acquired taste. Looks like you've got a nice tank their Andy, got any FTS?

 

[Lynden]

Very nice fish. I have not been able to find them, unfortunately...

Man i am gunna feell like fooll if this is wrong but.... My translater says that Aaah, Pobol y Cwm! Cwyb Rygbi! = Aaah , People the Valley! Cwyb Rugbi!

So unless you are talking about a Rugbi team i have no clue.

Well done!!!! Pobol y Cwm and Y Clwb rygbi are both welsh TV shows BTW.

What translator are you using??

See what it makes of this.......

Mae hen wlad fy nhadau yn annwyl i mi
Gwlad byrdd a chantorion enwogion o fri
Ei gwrol rhyfelwyr gwladgarwyr tra mad
Dros rhydedd collasant ei gweud

Gwlad Gwlad pleidiol wyf i'm glwad
tra mor y fyr, i byr hoff bau
O byddedd i'r hen iaith barhau!

(I apologise for my spelling)

hehehehe thats really rubbish

It is old welsh though. It is the Welsh national anthem...it translates as...

Old land of my fathers
So dear unto me
Famed land of the minstrel
Fair home of the free
Thy warriors who wielded
Undaunted thy sword
For freedom their life-blood have poured
Wales Wales, true am I to Wales
While seas surge round
We'll raise the sound
O live ye loved land evermore!

I blame google

Thats what you get when you trust the internet.


Ya that was kinda bad.

Well, the little guy was feeding pretty well from the stick a week or so ago, as the below vid shows:



Nina managed to gets some good pics of hiim coming out to feed:

As well as feeding on prawns:

However he has also found a habit for going for my finger as well

And this (somewhat large - 18mb/1min) video shows him feeding in all his glory:



Apologies for the bleeching on some pics, but such a white fish is a pain to photograph very well when it comes out under the light.

 

[Nix]

Thats awesome.

 

[dixaisy930]

Are you trying to train him to be an attack eel?

Getting him use to the taste of human flesh.....shame on you

Awesome critter, though....eventhough it is becoming a man eater......

 

[SkiFletch]

mmmm, delicious finger
