I’m alright Jacques

A few weeks ago, born of Ian’s inability to organise anything – let alone climbing Snowdon – a select few made their way to Birmingham on a mission of utmost importance. Hanging on this mission were the hopes and dreams of four people, their faith in humanity ready to be shattered or saved.

That’s right; we went to the SeaLife Centre and it was awesome.

Oh hi, we traveled through time to be here.Kiss me you fool!Poor thing, mind of a child.

Now, you may be thinking that looking at fish in big tanks isn’t something that adults do, let alone get excited about, but you’re wrong. It’s what being an adult is all about.

Murray the eel (geddit?)This is Alan, the starfish, he likes to play chess.It doesn't look it, but this creature was seventy feet across and made a sound like ducks hiccoughing.

Though, there is something about Octopi regarding you with disquieting intent that makes you wonder just what it is they’re up to. There’s also something about looking at all those fish that just makes a man hungry.

    We went to a Tropicarium in Budapest in June 2007.
    It was a hell-sized portion of fun, not mentioning the rest of the overnight trip.

    I could just watch the stingrays for hours, if it were upon me.

    It was awsome, the bloke who sits next to me at work suggests we should get some kids and a ford galaxy, I suggest that’s his idea of a good weekend. I do make myself laugh! ha!

    Stephen, the bloke who sits next to you clearly has no appreciation for the finer things in life, the dirty pederast. Strike him.

    jez, I’m puzzled, jumping into/off what?

    And Arien, Budapest has a tropicarium? Awesome, I think we’ll be taking a look at that. Thanks for the photos, very nice ^_^

    BTW, seventy feet = about twenty one meters. Though, in all honesty it was only about fifteen centimeters.

    James, and what’s more, Budapest is a BEAUTIFUL beautiful city of history.
    And it has an amusement park in the centre, with original rides from the beginning of 20th century. Europe’s longest wooden rollercoaster from 1920’s [1 km] and such.

    I really enjoyed Budapest.
