What a start to the New Year

[Taliesins]

It couldnt get much worse First my electrical problem Now got up this morning and the gales had lifted the top off the pond filter and as the water recirculates through the lid it had emptied the pond (25483 litres) So today will be spent sifting through dead fish and recoupoing what I can Sheesh I hope this isnt a sign of whats to come. I sincerely hope you all have a better one.
Happy new year.

Sorry to hear about your pond.
We had a similar problem last summer when father-in-law cleaned out the filters and forgot to check the tightness of the jubilee clips on the pipes.
One popped during the night and pumped the best part of 14,000 gallons onto the lawn and patio. A lot ran back into the pond under the liner which started to float in places making shallow mini pools that kept the fish damp.
Luckily we only lost one fish - not bad considering there were probably 60 fish in the pond, including some koi about 18 inches long.
I hope you are as lucky!

Tell me about it! Nowhere near as bad as yours, but came home absolutely bladdered and passed out on the bed only to wake up a few few hours later to find I had blown chunks all over my brand new leather flying jacket!!!!!!!

I'm gutted, this thing cost a good few quid and I now think it's ruined. My missus ain't to happy and I'm still feeling ill today. Thats what I get for letting people pour me neat Southern Comforts. Why is it they think they're doing you a favour by giving you a six to eight times measure of neat spirit? And yes I should of known better but I was plastered (first time in God knows how many years that I've been that bad!)

Never again though.
