Happy Moments fish.


Up at Quobba a few years back, ran out of bait and decided to fillet one, knife and grip slipped and I spined myself.

For 5 minutes the delerious bit set in before the hours of absolute agony. I was literally dancing on the rocks singing trying to keep my mind off the pain. Wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

Vicious little buggers aren't they

List is long for me - Blue Bottles (monster ants), Dogs (2), Horses (God only knows how many times), jack jumpers (more ants) spiders (enough to make me kill them on site) sea urchins (feet full) wasps, bees hornets (one of the buggers 7 times before I could get it), midgies, fish, yadda yadda.........BUT, by far the worst sting of all, is the one from my Mother-In-Laws tongue!! 

I do whatever the little voices tell me to do

Hi Ya,

Dreamy, you need to take on Rod Stewart's philosophy (or was it Mick Jagger?).  After his divorce he stated to a reporter "Next time I'll just find a woman I don't like and give her half of what I have."  It would cetainly cost the same but there would be a lot less angst.  LOL

Cheers.

Stung

Mon, 2007-12-31 23:16

I think my worst would have been the bee sting in my ear as a 3 yr old. I felt it crawl in my ear and reflexs made me stick my finger in after it lol,pushed it in as far as it would go before it got me.

stung

Tue, 2008-01-01 08:16

my worst was getting stung by a wasp,what made it so bad was that it was inside my crash helmet at about 70mph, it got my eyelid, very scary for a few seconds that one.
next one was an unknown bug in sumbawa,put me out of action for 3 months (locals called it THE FEVER)
i also got quite a nasty sting from a vauxhall corsa (barina to you) 5 weeks intensive care from that one,good job the doctor was a jigsaw enthusiast :-)

HAPPY NEW YEAR

The Fever!

Tue, 2008-01-01 08:26

I forgot to mention this one, but I had the unfortunate experience of getting bitten by a Mosquito in Papua New Guinea, when I was working over there in the late 80's. The unfortunate part was that despite religeously taking my anti malaria medicine, I managed to get a Mozzy carrying a Cloroquine resistant strain of malaria. Not good going from uncontrolable shivering to bed soaking sweats all from a tiny little mozzy. Took me a while to get over that one, but nowhere near as bad as they make it out to be. The local docs treat it daily and are very casual about it. I was sent home with a cocktail of about 16 tablets that I was told to take all at once and if I threw up I was to come back and get a massive needle. Obviously I made sure I kept it down.

hey andy i got the dreaded M last year in png
its a bit like the flu really, not pleasant but not as bad as people tell you.
i guess the ones that get real sick from it were maybe not too healthy to start with.

Not me but the wife

Wed, 2008-01-02 06:30

when we had the farm my 'new' bride had a rough introduction to country life.

First was a tiger snake in the pantry....not bitten...just scared the crap out of her....

While picking she was bitten by a Whitetail spider which took 9 months to recover from....very nasty scare

One night in bed she was stung on the bum by a scorpion...

Had a bungarra run up her leg trying to get away from the dog.

Mad magpie almost scored a eye while using the squirrel (elevated work platform)

After 4 years she had enough.....so had to sell and move to Perth.....a fishing boat was my reward
