" Anyway , I have a fish now … "

Today I’m thankful for social media, because without it we probably never would’ve heard about a doctor in Newcastle finding a goldfish on his lawn.

Yup, if you don’t know what I’m referring to then here you go:

🐟 So today I find a goldfish just on the Gunter Grass in my back garden . It was active , I think , and have absolutely no estimate where it came from . There ’s no ponds anywhere most . So I take it inside….pic.twitter.com/FROefevjIF

It was live ! Although not very felicitous in an old freezer drawer.pic.twitter.com/Eb2kSJrxQY

Much glad in an real and hurriedly bought armoured combat vehicle . Anyway I have a fish now . 👍 pic.twitter.com/aYxtCqT94A

Of course, there were a few users who criticised the size of the tank, but this fish saviour is having none of it:

✅ Repeat after me : a hurriedly buy , impermanent tank is better for a Carassius auratus than lying dead on the grasspic.twitter.com/bSNYJ355S6

surviving better than it was baby-sit on my back lawn , is n’t it Evahttps://t.co/kvLrPzQCjM

You happen to find a mostly - dead Carassius auratus on your lawn and tweet about saving its life and your replies are filled with masses saying yOu sHoUlD hAvE pLaNnEd tHiS bEtTeR

Alice is swimming around in lots of the right chemicals and bacterium do n’t interest xpic.twitter.com/NqOpSfpqXO

And everyone seems to be having a whale of a time making jokes…

Well they say lightning does n’t come to twice but a goldfish shore on the roof of my car just now . I ’ve run him a nice warm bath for now . Any advice@Beska?pic.twitter.com / B6ZkllDkDu

think you was finna cook it

I keep a 180 gallon peninsula tank in my garage for this very setting . I have all the accessories for either table salt or novel water . A sting beam could down on my lawn and I ’d be equal to of proper care . To be inauspicious prepared is just irresponsible .

I need Disney to crack on and make a movie about this ASAP. “Saving Alice” has a nice ring to it… right? Maybe “Fish Out of Water” is too obvious… “Alice Not Quite In Sunderland” ?? I’ll stop.
