I don't know if I'm allowed to do this, and especially so early but whatevs, everyone should know this.

Did you know the tuna is a great ocean giant. Capable of swimming at up to 50mph, many species regularly top 2m, with the prized Northern Bluefin reported to reach 4.5m on occasion.

fifty miles per hour?!! amazing.

hello everyone. hope you are all fine and dandy.

adolf hitler was referred to eminent jewish psychobabblist sidmund freud

he chose not to go. whether this was because of the jewishness or he had a particularly challenging piece of hate to monger is unknown.

      devonmalcolm | 9 May '07, 15:53 | X
      - I didn't know that
        
        Presumably on the grounds that "there's plenty more fish in the sea". Which is fine for consoling a dumped mate but a fairly short-sighted way of looking at the North Sea cod population.

        you sound like my girlfriend who will only eat sustainable fish. BORING

        LOL
        
        Nah, battered cod and tinned tuna are two of my favourite things, and they're both on the way out, if the gastrohippies are to be believed. My local chippy does a good line in skate wings, though.

        I make a point of eating Cod
        
        to get my fill before it runs out.

        Its running out

        haddock > cod
        
        it's all we eat in yorkshire and we're closer to whitby so we must be right.

        They always
        
        have to cook haddock in the chippy, cod's always readily available. Hence why I eat fish cakes.
