Sumo Wrestling Apprentice!

Post by puffertt77 »

I don't know if any of you have ever listened to Ricky Gervais, Steven Merchant and Karl Pilkingtons radio shows and podcasts but on one of them they were talking about Sumo's saying that one of a Sumo Wrestlers Apprentices duties is to wipe the Sumo's backside as he cannot reach!

Well I was laying in my bed last night and I kept seeing Bollo go under Naboo, when I looked closer Naboo was taking a S**t and everytime a new bit appeared Bollo would swim under him and pick/break it off and take it 4 inches away and drop it then repeated it untill Naboo had finished!

I couldn't believe what I was seeing LOL

Made me laugh so much thinking of Naboo as the Fat little Sumo and Bollo as his little Apprentice :D

Yeah

I always watch to make sure they all get enough food, Bollo's fav is still bloodworms although he will eat cockle and prawn

They got a load of river shrimp today for the first time, was great seeing them both hunting for them

Those shrimp are like pigeons dodging cars...they wait until the absolute last second to move and then just get out of the way in time!

Bollo is hilarious. One day he'll understand that being on the receiving end of service is more fun.

All joking aside I'm going to keep an eye on Bollo's fat fed belly and see how fast it goes down just to make sure he hasn't got IP

That is just very odd LOL

I think Bollo has some weird fetish maybe... or really really bad eyesight.

It sounds strange to say this about a fish but Bollo does seem in awr (not sure that's spelt right) of Naboo. When I first got them both Bollo was fascinated by Naboo and would float round him curiously looking at him all over. Even now I'll see him doing it now and again. They def both seem to know that they're the same kind of fish and I've noticed that they've become a lot closer in recent weeks
