New Fish in Town

And the 2007 ‘Don’t Look Now’ award for the most subliminally disturbing advert for photographic equipment goes to…

The Panasonic TZ3 Compact Digital Camera




I saw this in a Dixons duty free catalogue a few weeks ago and unsettling images of scary laughing tranvestite(?) crones with wrinkly arms and over-sized heads have been creeping into my dreams ever since



Thank you Panasonic

And whilst on the subject of images suitable for inclusion in altered states of consciousness, I am sad to announce that The Blobfish’s tenure as
Fish of the Month has come to an end.

I am, however, delighted to announce the unveiling of a new
Fish of the Month...


The Longhorn Cowfish




It’s got horns. It’s bright yellow

About 3 years ago, I found the skeleton of that very fish on a coastline of the South China sea.

I was very scared as I'd never seen anything like it. It looked like I had come across the skeleton of a small devil. I had no idea it was a fish, until someone gave Stef the link to exotic fish.

The horns are made of bone. The whole skeleton was almost exactly the shape of the fish.

I nearly lost my lunch.
