Default Fed some fish !!

Mrs swiss and I went shopping today but got distracted by a shop that was slightly unusual.

Went in and after being relived of some cash, fed the fish !!


















It felt soooo weird . The fish are from Turkey and they feed on the dead cells and manky skin and basically work away to give you lovely baby soft feet

Mrs Swiss screamed like a big girl

I was offered a chance at a management position with that company after the owner of the company bought some bits and bobs off me and liked the cut of my jib! Didn't take up the offer as I wasn't sure how successful they would be over here in norn iron as another place has had them for quite some time and had been quite unsuccessful in pulling in people even at heavily reduced prices.

This is no joke...

My mate was in a conversation where someone said, "Have you heard about those fish that eat all the dead skin off your feet for the perfect manicure?" To which a girl in the party (my mate's wife's friend), immediately blurted, "Do they paint your toenails too?"

Cue the ultimate ****-taking laughter from all present, causing her to sheepishly go, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, I didn't mean that..." She simply went into 'girl mode' and didn't even begin to get the cogs whirring - she simply engaged tongue before brain!

...However, judging by the pics above, it would appear that they DO paint the nails as well!!!

I'd heard about the infection risks too, not sure I'd like to try this myself.

Same here. Infection doubts are one thing, but I'd percieve the little ******* like Piranhas for eating dead cells. What if they bite me, and just don't let go until they had eaten all of my living cells as well? Oh, man! It gives me shudders when I think of it too seriously.

Good call. That little spud seems to spend his entire life looking for stuff to sial. I suppose that's typical for someone so titchy and feeble that he has to be carried up the hill in Whitby by a proper bloke.
