Piranhas


 Revenge of a vicious piranha.  Or maybe it was a savage shark.  Only they weren't sharks or piranhas, just a band of tiddlers.  And they were out for flesh and blood.


Poor K got bitten by fish when he was bobbing about in the sea on our holiday. I got my heels nibbled but they actually bit chunks out of his leg.

We could see shoals of fish quite clearly. They didn't look more than about 6inches but boy could they do damage.

One thing I can't understand is why they didn't attack those Greek women bobbing just beyond us.

    1. He's getting ready to go out and catch a few kilos of their kin. He'll enjoy chomping on the relatives for revenge

    1. Funny how they chose him. White dangling legs?

  3. Goodness, how strange, that looks uncomfortable! If they were a common problem surely no-one would be bobbing about.

  4. As Jaycee said that looks a nasty bite. Glad they were only small or it would have been really bad.

  7. Blimey! I've never heard of man-eating Tiddlers. Miniature Sharks perhaps?

  8. Our office manager has spoken about those fish a few times - apparently she and her daughter almost always get bitten swimming in the sea, and she can't understand why we've never seen or heard of them (and swim nearly every day). Some people must simply tsste better.
