    No we don't. Though maybe your PI could investigate?

    If you gotta slap of a baskin sharks tail you would be in a spot of bother.
    I have swam with sharks 3 or 4 times and generally they won't bother you if you don't bother them.

    Try going to the"why are we hating all the men" thread in this forum. The answer is of course a resounding YES.

    The Shallows was pretty good too. But, they really should have cut out the whole family backstory part, it was totally unnecessary. Scriptwriters made a big error there.

    It was more "Large Squid". Giant would be pushing it. It wasn't giant. Giant wouldn't have fitted in their ickle plastic box. My idea of giant is kinda "Dublin bus sized squid". No giant.

    I think the real question is can we sue the schools when the sharks attack children in a playground?

    That was caught a few weeks ago off the Clare coast. One of the biggest sharks seen in European waters.

    You have more chance of having your balls bitten off by a whitrit in Ireland than your leg bitten off by a shark


    These are the statistics they should be teaching in schools

    You get Blue Sharks around Kinsale.

    A bunch of us were out fishing and one of the lads got something big on his line,

    Took three of us to hole the line at one particular time.

    Even though the line he was using was the heaviest poundage, it gave way after nearly an hour.

    Our boat pilot that day had radioed we had a shark and a lot of boats cane our way.

    A Big American Tourist on one of the other boats got him in.

    Later that night we saw the sharks carcass dumped in the water by the quay, the teeth had been removed.

    Sad to see a beautiful creature end up been dumped there like that.

    There have been a fair few reported sightings of Great Whites around these islands. They could certainly survive in this neck of the woods and there is a big enough seal population in places to sustain them, but whether these are just strays that show up, or consistent visitors is another matter.

    Rejoice in the awareness of feeling stupid, for that’s how you end up learning new things. If you’re not aware you’re stupid, you probably are.
