Title: A Haddock's Mating Call
Post by: The Peepmaster on January 02, 2008, 09:48:13 PM: A haddock's mating call starts as a slow knocking sound, before turning into a quicker hum similar to a small motorcycle revving its engine.

More interesting facts... (http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/magazinemonitor/2008/01/100_things_we_didnt_know_last_3.shtml)

They sound like someone is knocking on the door. If there is also a motorcycle noise then we do have company.

Who would have thought a haddock could ride a motorbike?

I imagine they can be just as devastating as having rhinos, albeit over a longer period of time, probably.

I thought it was: A woman needs a man like a fish needs a bike.

Post by: The Peepmaster on January 03, 2008, 02:20:00 PM: There was a fish in a North-East of England estuary that rescued nine anglers from an upturned boat.

It prompted the saying; "A haddock in Tyne, saves nine".

Post by: Roger Kettle on January 04, 2008, 09:48:13 AM: I vaguely recall coming up with a gag for the Nomad, who was writing a book about fishing or something like that. It involved an angler's wife being rebuffed with the line "Not tonight, dear, I've caught a haddock."
