Little fuckers, got stung on the arm in Barbados by one, didn't see the rascal ,snorkelling over a wreck at the time. Quite a few large buggers washed up on the beach near Poole a couple of years back . Baffled the dog .

They are not all little fuckers. Some of them are fucking big bastards. 10 metres!

Thought this was going to be a RIP thread about the bloke that slung one up Madonna.

I can honestly say, with no exaggeration, that jellyfish terrify me.

Some people will find any excuse to urinate on themselves.That's an urban myth btw and doesn't relieve the sting.
Nasty things.

Swiss: sorry to be pedantic but a Portugese Man of War isn't a jellyfish. It's a colonial organism made up of lots of interdependent tiny creatures. As for 100 miles, more like 100 feet.

Absolute cunts these things - the sea version of cunts with wings (wasps) Was stung in Spain many years ago, obviously not a venomous one but had around 5 lines on my leg about 10 inches long and it stung like fuck. Luckily only lasted around 24 hours but going out on the piss was an effort as it stug like fuck when walking

Given the choice, I would choose a hit from a Portuguese man o' war over a box jelly any day.

remember getting done by either one of these or a weaver fish after a great surf session. listened to pearl jam on the drive home and the pain in my leg turned into a bizarre euphoric serenity as black kicked in.
had a massive steak on getting home. fully recommend it.

Oh I think the second (and last) album Spilt Milk is a masterpiece, one of my favourites. The weird thing is their genius guitarist Jason Falkner had already quit the band and they hired session players who they instructed to basically recreate his guitar parts - it results in a sound that is kind of artificial and too measured and cynical but that's kind of what they were about anyway so it works.

Went to Wales on a stag weekend for the eldest boy and the landlord in the boozer we stayed in (which was near the beach) warned us about the jellyfish and mentioned that there hadn't ,until recently,been a word for jellyfish in the Welsh language..Fish is 'pysgod' and jellyfish is 'Pysgod wibbly wobbly' He went on to say that oven is 'Poppity'and microwave oven is 'Poppity ping' ...strange breed the Welsh.
