#1 The attack, by a type of jellyfish known as a "mauve stinger", happened late last week off the coast of County Antrim, an area popular with tourists.

sounds like a gay jellyfish attack...

#2 I prefer open sea fish. Farmed fish are subject to flea infestations, and viral attacks. Fatty fish, like salmon, also lose some of the fat, which contributes to its flavor.

As for northern sightings of otherwise tropical fish, tuna has been found of Vancouver Island, Canada. Apparently, that hasn't happened before.

#3 LIVING, AS I HAVE, IN OREGON SOME 60 ODD YEARS, I KNOW WE HAVE HAD A TUNA FUSHERY OFF OUR COAST FOR MANY YEARS. VANCOUVER ISLE IS NOT SO FAR NORTH OF US. SOMETIMES THAT PESKY GLOBAL WARMING IS OLDER THAN IT SEEMS. SO SAYETH AN OLD CODGER!

#5 Dude... you don't have to shout.

Dude...yes he does. Tuna are a pelagic species, and found in all temperatures of water. McNozzle of Douche was spouting off...again...about something he doesn't know anything about.

#6 McZoid did use one of the words I find so useful, apparently. ;-) The odds are high around hereof someone knowing more on any subject imaginable.. and its happened once again in this thread. Thank you for sharing your expertise, Tholush Squank4616 and Mountain Penis5653.

But Tholush Squank4616, I discovered the hard way that the convention is that typing in all capitals is seen as shouting. Please don't, any more. I promise we'll pay attention, since you started so sensibly and knowledgeably. And welcome to you both, and the other new names I've seen here recently. It's so nice when new Rantburgers join the conversation! :-D
