Why was that particular shark labled a 'Killer' ? It just cruised passed and didn't attack anyone. Bloody Newspapers !  |

From that news report in the Metro:-
But after a series 'big fish' attacks, including three in less than 24 hours of each other, the surf school owner decided not to inform his students of the Jaws.
Now I'm not saying Bertrus and co have iinstilled some sort of paranoia into me, but I actually read that as "the surf school owner decided not to inform his students of the JEWS."
I was just about to ask how the Israelis had got the blame for this one.

You'd think there would be great whites here. The water temperature is fine, we have tons of seals but they don't seem to come much closer than half way across the Atlantic. Or up from the Med.
There was a woman killed after being attacked by three sharks in the Bahamas the other day.

That Bahamas story was reported so weirdly when I saw it on the news as "Family vacation tragically cut short by shark attack", as if the cutting short of the vacation was the key thing and not the dead swimmer.

A teenage boy has been killed in a shark attack off the northern coast of New South Wales in eastern Australia, police say. The 15-year-old was surfing when he suffered severe leg injuries at Wooli Beach, 630km (390 miles) north of Sydney, according to witnesses. Nearby surfers came to help, including one who is reported to have tried to pull the shark away. First aid was given on the beach but the boy died at the scene. "Several board-riders came to his assistance before the injured teen could be helped to shore," a police statement said. www.bbc.com/news/world-australia-53375737 |

Yeah - whenever I read about a shark attack it's always in the sea...never, for example in Waitrose's carpark.

Waitrose car park has its own dangers.

I've been noshed by a few cougars in my time. Often in car parks.

Flake's a weird name to call a fish, unless it's in a 99.

The shark that attacked that kid was thought to be a great white shark. Plenty around. Hey Mids want me to take you surfing?

I wouldn't mind going surfing. You could deliberately cut yourself to draw the sharks away from me.
