NATURAL KOI POND – FEEDING THE FISH

hey its as big as a swimming pool let go swimmin in there.

Being afraid of heights, I would walk about with a parachute strapped to my back if I lived there. I live in a bungalow.

Unfortunately, it never gets warmer in the UK to swim outdoors. I want to move to a warmer country and dig another huge hole.

I don’t see that idea going very well with your family. And I thought you wanted to move to new zealand………*dramatic music*, Richard.

I could also quite happily live on a Scotish island, Canada, Norway, Sweden etc. I think that the common theme is wilderness and adventure. I don’t like shops and crowds of people – BUT I like to see crowds of people in my shop.
I would really like to go on survival wwekends with the kids when they are a bit older in a country where I was learning as much as them. Here it gets boring where you recognise every sound and sign when you go walkabout.

Do you know how lucky you are?
i live in a warm country and we die of heat when its winter its like paradise .
swimmin is sooooooooooooooo fun!!!
espicially when its damn hot.

no worries!!
im afraid of ghosts
lol not heights or clowns.

I’ll be posting a video soon of the wintry conditions we’ve got here at present and it is very nice with about 10″ of snow it looks beautiful. This is the first proper winter we’ve had for about 20 years though, most of the time it is miserable, dull and wet – well depressing. I fully intend to move to warmer climate within 18 months and dig a swimming pond or get a house near a river or stream that I can divert to a big pond. Dreams, only dreams.

I can relate. But I actually prefer being warm an/or boiling as opposed to feeling very cold. I remember on a trip to Cameron Highlands (where the temperature is a lot lower) I kept freezing my butt of everytime I had to take a dump. I also found that I don’t function well in the cold, I just want to bundle up in a blankie and watch tv all day.

Everyone likes to know their buisness is going well. I have a question for you about the fish trade in th UK. Is it going better, worse or pretty much the same from before in terms of popularity. Breakthroughs in filtration systems, protein skimmers and other equipment have made this an easier yet more expensive hobby. And as the economy is yet to stabilize, do you think more and more people have lost interest in fishkeeping?

what the temp cuz in my place it goes to 46 c in summer and 6 in winter.

At least you dont hibernate.

We’re lucky to have mid 20’s in summer although the odd day can be 30+. Right now its been 0 to -6 for a couple of weeks.
46 is tooooo hot, man.

The biggest problem we have is with internet companies selling stuff for peanuts then people bringing broken down pumps and filters to us for advice/repair after the internet company (guy in bedroom) doesn’t want to know about a refund or makes the return proceedure so difficult. That gets my goat.
as we have rent, staff etc. mostly we cannot match the prices and still make profit. It is harder and harder but we want to be known for range/quality of fish that can’t be matched in our area.

I might try that next time I go to Cameron Highlands. I certainly have enough fat to survive one.

i die of heat i play soccer and i have to splash my self every 2 minutes my friends sometimes faint cuz of playing a lot.

Maybe you should also have an online purchase system for those living too far from your store to drive ther for convenience.

I am working on that, but as I have made the websites myself I want to build the online shop myself so that I don’t have to pay people to update it etc. Problem is I’m just a beginner and it takes an age.

Great way for me to loose weight. Thats probably why most folks in hotter countries play less energetic sports like cricket.

actually cricket is really hard to play.
it requires very good reflexes which i lack

badminton is less energetive.

Reflexes or not, compared to football its fairly sedate.

as you like it.

I get a sweat on just being in a hot country so any sport would be great for my fitness levels.
My body is a temple.
A ruined neglected temple.

turn it into the great wall of china.
