Hello Robert. Enough fish puns already. Or, as my French friends would say, "Fin."

Cheers.

Actually the French would say “fini“. (Finnegan's WAKE?)

I thought I was a friggin' mermaid.
I remember once having jumped in a hotel pool after midnight, and 2 Belgian guys commenting “elle naaage comme un poissoooon“.

[Robert]

One parting shot : it might be worth your while to look into the activities of my favourite suspect : Thomas Catfish.

[The Good Michael]

Maria,

You have these many stories that involve alcohol. Or were you just wanting to skinny-dip?

Mike

[The Good Michael]

Robert,

Don't you go gilling the lily.

Mike

[mariab]

To the Good Michael:
The pool story didn't involve alcohol. Nor skinny dipping (which wouldn't be your business anyway). But I'm afraid I'm a hydrophiliac. (My paraphilia is hydrophilia, extending from bodies of water to snow and ice.)
Might there a cure for that? By?

[Robert]

Mike, it's all there. Wore pepper 'n' salt colour jacket, salt 'n' vinegar colour trousers, cloth cap with pike. Gutted Skate Eddowes and chalked message referring to "The Jaws" outside building that is now fish and chip shop. Persuaded a troubled Druitt he was a fish, with tragic results. Wrote Dear Bass letter and sent kidney to George Hakin Lusk...

[mariab]

Actually, Barnett used to work at the fish market...

[Robert]

But he had a cast iron halibut.

[mariab]

Actually Barnett's halibut was fishy – for the wee hours of the morning, when apparently Mary Kelly died. (Interesting also that a CAT might be included in the circumstantial evidence. Suzy Hanney might be slightly acquainted with said cat.)

[Robert]

Ah, you mean Prater's cat. Prater barracudad her door with two tables.

Oh my 'Cod' lets 'skate' past this we are digging up to many Puns.
Richard.

Let's stream through this. “Skate“? I'd say, SURF.
And by the way, as The Good Michael said, Salmon Rushdie looks like he SMEL(T)s bad.
