Walking down Cefn Sidan beach this afternoon, was amazed to see loads of Portugese men of war being washed up with the tide. Duw Duw, that's me out of the water for the forseable future.

Any offence taken on board is only a literate/cy consequence. Every attempt at humour is just that. No personal insult intended. Standards lowered for trolls.

Not even those damn pesky Sea gulls eat jelly fish sadly . I assume they may be a bit chewy !😉

Are you sure they were Portuguese Man O War? They're distinctively different looking to a normal jellyfish. Men of war though

I knows my jellyfish mrf.
![]() Strangely, the tide was out about 10 miles today and there were none washed up on the shoreline - just the usual grey ones today.

Some of these jellyfish are practically immortal as they age backwards like benjamin button , very strange but true...https://thebiologist.rsb.org.uk/biologist/158-biologist/features/1510-everlasting-life-the-immortal-jellyfish
The man o war isnt immortal but is said to sting like heck, is there any particular reason why pembrey attracts so many jellyfish

Interesting link! I read somewhere that jellyfish aren't a 'single animal', but some sort of collection (a collective? ![]() As for Aberystwyth - we had some jellyfish earlier in the year (not PMoW type) but haven't seen any for a while - we got a couple of dead seals, though - had to keep the dog away from those! (I should have said - I think from observation - not from a scientific paper - that jellyfish get stranded more easily on flat, sandy beaches rather than sloping, pebbly ones - hence Pembrey - or Borth - rather than Aberystwyth or similar.) My wife got stung, once, by a PMoW in Cannes - it took her 6 moths to recover - the rash would seem to disappear, only to come back again. Very painful and unpleasant.

We lived in a 16m2 studio together for 18 months, before moving to Paris. Try that, and tell me it's posh!

Thanks for a sensible comment - no, there was a view over the concrete roof of the car park attached to the block of flats. It did provide entertainment, when some of the locals would go out onto their balconies to vent: "I'll kill you, you [beep]!" (That sort of thing - in French, of course, though we blamed the Italian blood...)
