slinkydevil Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 I'd rather be boiled alive than get relocated to Blackpool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 Were they sure that it was a lobster and not a crayfish? I believe that crayfish are very similar to lobsters and I don't think that blue ones are that uncommon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old_scrote Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 It's always been a peeve of mine ! surely to goodness the IOM should have it's own aquarium ( yes I know Port Erin Biological Station closed down ) .but always enjoyed going there as a kid, in fact my Mother worked as a cleaner there. Just maybe they could put one at the old Summerland site, better than darned Apartments, a least that would be some sort of attraction for locals and visitors alike..

thebees Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 I was telling my father in law about the blue lobster at dinner on Sunday, they all laughed their heads off at me and said "All lobsters are blue, you know that." the end of my scintillating dinner conversation.

Damn! Conned by the English again! Have to watch out - they'll be saying that scallops are rare and should all be sent to new homes in the UK - or looked after by the UK's responsible fisheries management .
