thats very peaceful and mellow of him to spare the shark – if that had been my boat and it had bit my foot and tried to hole the boat I’d have had as much of the fucker I could served up to myself and the crew, sold the rest to the nearest Chinese restaurant (not that hard to find in Scotland and the meat is €5 – €7 per kilo), and what humans couldn’t eat would be distributed to the “home for wee stray catties”, every other bit of it appropriately processed and I’d have kept the teeth for a trophy. I know its code VU (vulnerable) species but there are some things I wouldn’t put up with…..

A Scottish fisherman has spoken of the moment a 7ft shark clamped its jaws around his foot on board his boat.

Hamish Currie managed to free himself with the help of one of his crew after a porbeagle they had hooked took hold of his steel toe-capped boot. He said the fish also gnawed a hole in the boat.
The skipper had targeted the shark after hearing reports of it attacking seals off Islay, in the Inner Hebrides. He aimed to tag the fish, which is a member of the Great White family, and release it back into the water, and the crew tracked it down on Wednesday.

There’s a Chinese take away restaurant right next to a duck pond up the top of where I live. We are convinced that they take “locally sourced produce” way too seriously. :laugh_at:

there is a permaculture method involving a duck pond and whatever ducks eat which is also manured by the ducks and was thought up by a world famous Chinese professor from Milton Keynes…

a Chinese proverb is “ducks laugh at the bad weather”. But in Haddenham (not far from where Gaz lives) a legend is the locals had to build a shelter on the duck pond to keep the ducks away from damp, cold and mud (it is very muddy there)

I’d actually prefer it if the ducks were from this pond tbf, just the pond is a place for people to go and look at ducks, so if they all get eated it’s a redundant pond. The water’s stagnant as fuck mind you so not sure how healthy the ducks are. They probably get used to it and adapt.

Better then a some duck factory either way. My mate recons “the suffering adds to the flavor” … but I think he’s just showing off about how abusive he can be. TBF I like to make him suffer, so all’s well that ends well. :laugh_at:
