The answer depends on your definition of a fart. If you consider farting to be the by-product of digestion (gases) expelled solely through the rear-end, then no most fish don’t fart (with the exception of herring and sand sharks). Some may say they’ve observed air escaping from the neither region of a fish after they gulped air at the surface, but this isn’t really a product of digestion, so can it be termed a fart? Most fish do use air to inflate and deflate their bladder to maintain buoyancy which is expelled either through their mouth or gills which can be mistaken for a fart. For example, sand tiger sharks gulp air into their stomachs at the surface which they then discharge out the back door to attain a desired depth. Is that a fart in the true sense of the word? We’ll let you decide. Experts say that the digestive gases of fish are consolidated with their feces and expelled in gelatinous tubes which fish sometimes eat again (eew…I know!). Point being – No farts. @fraufruit The Herring however, is a whole other story. Research and observation has shown that this fish creates a mysterious underwater noise through their stern (referred to as farting or breaking wind), which is always accompanied by a fine stream of bubbles. This way of expelling air to create a high-frequency sound is means of communication for the herring and shows no connection to digestive gases or what we call farts except that it looks like bubbles coming out of the anal duct of the fish.

  If you're renting that much I'd suggest you purchase an annual excess policy from the UK to save you having to pay the excess on your rentals when you take it. Rather than recommend any one company I always suggest people make a comparison using this comparison site but whatever company anyone decides to go with, always read the small print (T&C) as these policies vary considerably and not everything is covered as one might expect.   As you mentioned about credit card insurance and small trucks it is also not possible to purchase an independent excess policy for trucks either.  

Okay Ladies it's Friday, @Anna66 @anne k   @SmurfLee  (and Gentleman), brush your teeth and freshen your breath.   This is all about Semen and hopefully this will open your eyes (if not your mouth or legs) to prove that it is not necessarily a myth or joke about the health benefits of man mayo.   Antidepressant Semen contains quite a few components that have been studied to show anti-depressant qualities. One of these is nerve growth factor. Its primary responsibility in semen is to help relax the female so that the sperm can achieve its reproductive objective. It’s also been shown to be a vital hormone missing in the brains of those who suffer from Major Depressive Disorder. This means that increasing nerve growth factor would only prove to make people happier. Additionally, nerve growth factor has been found to be an anti-inflammatory as well as an antioxidant.   Antianxiety Semen contains mood-enhancing compounds like oxytocin, progesterone, estrone, serotonin, and melatonin. Oxytocin is also known as the “cuddle hormone” because, when released, it makes people feel more affectionate and connected. Progesterone has been shown to have anti-anxiety characteristics. Estrone piggybacks on serotonin to help enhance moods, and melatonin helps relaxation occur.   Mood Enhancement A study backed by the SUNY institute found that female college students who received baby batter on a regular basis were happier and less suicidal than those who didn’t. Researchers chalked this up to the mood-enhancing benefits of semen, however, they didn’t take into account any other factors, like a happy home life, being successful in school, or, I don’t know, getting raw D on the reg. Sounds like a pretty good place to be in life, and it sounds a little irresponsible to claim that the happiness of these women was directly dependent upon getting 20 ccs of white gold injected into them without taking any other factors into account. But what do I know? I’m no scientist.    Ingestion The amount of Google searches for “eating cum” is astounding: a little under 10,000 for the past month, to be exact. In fact, this may have been the route you were thinking of when you initially clicked on this blog post. Lucky for you, we’ve got what you were looking for. Swallowing semen is the quickest way to get all of the benefits of your man’s baby juice, and think, he might even enjoy it too.   Longevity We know this might be hard to swallow, but yes, semen can make you live longer. Spermidine (originally isolated from sperm, hence the name), when ingested, has been proven to dramatically increase the lifespan of animals by as much as 25 percent. In the same study, it was also found to prevent liver disease as well as liver cancer. Go forth and take what you will from this information. If you makes you want to ingest more semen, or have your partner come inside you more often, you do your thing. Salutations, ladies!   Taken from the 9 Proven benefits of Semen

  But the car was not checked in with the renter present so how was this ok? Read the post again.   In many situations like this it is normally the op/renter that is at fault either because the additional insurance is too expensive, he/she thought nothing would happen to them or they are too good a driver.   By coincidence, something happens and the first thing they always do is blame the rental company and make out how bad they are being treated, well sorry I don't buy that and to be honest it sounds like the op is at fault and for all we know the car was damaged whilst in his/her possession. Can he/she prove otherwise is the question?

Let's start with the very basics,   1) Did you read the rental companies terms and conditions? 2) Did you add any additional insurance to your rental in the form of excess insurance or did you add a policy to reduce your liability, normally worded as Vollkasko. 3) Did you inspect the car on collection and check that any damage was recorded on the rental agreement given to you at time of collection? 4) Upon returning the vehicle was the vehicle inspected? (I believe not going by your statement) 5) Did you or do you have any proof, ie; photo's that the vehicle you returned was in the same condition as when you picked it up? 6) Why did you ignore their first email, you were informed that for every month you will be charged but you only responded to their email 2 days ago.     You mean Excess Insurance Policy which currently (to my knowledge) is only available from UK Insurance Companies and not all will insure non UK citizens.   Only problem is, it's a bit late for the op.   The only other option the op might have is to take the matter up with ECRS but I'm not 100% that will help as this was not a cross border rental.   

  and skinheads and regular Bank Holiday meet ups in Southend for a rumble. they were the days.   What was you John?    

  I suggested she get laid not screw a ship of sailors.😂

  This could be @SmurfLee problem, she spends so much time on hear how an earth does she have time for a lover.   I think the signs are showing, she is an anxious sexually frustrated depressed woman, I mean, that's like a car crash waiting to happen, she needs to get out and get laid or as you suggest Anna, masturbate.   At the moment it sounds like she's at the stage in life where food has taken the place of sex.    

  Come to think of it, I'm not gay but the bloke I sleep with is so it could of been him.

   

  Notice them, I can't miss them they're normally stuck all over my face and neck and what ever I'm wearing. But yes you're right there's always carrots.   The worse part about the drinking is not the puking up it's the wetting the bed having been to drunk to go to the toilet   I'm just thinking, should this be in the First World Problems thread?  

Feeling down, I drink copious amounts of beer, eat a spicy Indian curry, drink more beer and fall asleep in my own puke.

  I remember this little boy.

  I don't think you will find them, most I've seen all open like mine. They are big and over a meter long when fully opened but I always plate the fish at the grill and serve so it's never a problem.

  I use Banana leaves and Pandan leaves, the latter are normally fresh and are used for smaller pieces of meat or fish and the Banana leaves are frozen, much wider and up to 1 meter long. Banana leaves are much better for steaming but you don't really get any imparted flavour from then unlike Pandan leaves which are used not only with meats but are also added to deserts.   I make pieces of chicken wrapped in Pandan leaves and grill them, here's a really simple and quick recipe; 2bs Oyster Sauce 2tbs Milk 1tbs Light Soy Sauce 1tbs Sesame Oil 2 Garlics cloves finely chopped or more if you like 2tbs Rice Flour 1 fresh Pandan leave finely chopped Good Pinch of white pepper   Mix the lot together in a bowl and add cube/diced chicken pieces, they need to be approx. 3cm x 3cm in size. Marinate for at least an hour. When ready take pairs of Pandan leaves and place them at right angles to each other overlapping at the ends. place a piece of chicken at the overlapping end and start folding simultaneously creating a type of parcel, to secure you place one leaf under the other to create a fold, do this a couple of times to do secure them. This takes a little practice.   You can cook these in oil but I like to add several to skewers and grill, it's far healthier and tastier in my opinion.   Serve with Thai sweet chilli sauce or make up a Rice Vinegar based sauce by adding small amounts of Sugar, Salt and chopped chillis till you reach the right taste of sweet, hot and sour.   @fraufruit  Totally agree, I use them sometimes when I want to keep it simple and just grill whole fish
