Through being rather demented as a teenager and flinging jellyfish at folk I generally found that there is a rule of thumb that Brown = stay away, Purple = grand (fling to hearts content)

Isn’t the Portuguese man of war sort of purple?
nefd6
Mine is.
Reegore
Well my rule of thumb only really applied to the non-tentacled innocent type of jellyfish from yore. Not these new monsters.

Portuguese man of war is not a jellyfish, it’s a siphonophore.

Me and my sister (innocently) played a terrible game on donabate beach when we small small.
Dig a big hole, and collect all the jelly fish on the beach and thrown them in it.
Then cover them up and jump on it.
Jelly guts every where.
I think they sent this lad back for revenge…

Holy f**k. Is this what it’s come to. If you want I can post pictures of a dog I saw in my neighbours garden, or a cat perhaps, or I could even go to the zoo and send my pics on.

Barrel jellyfish ! Would be more worried about the water quality
Why didn’t you ask it yourself?
or is it venomous?
OP sounds hungry, he definitely meant poisonous.
Nope, in fact, it’s edible. Go on, have a bite.
Looks a bit like those lion’s mane fellas http://fc03.deviantart.net/fs48/i/2009/215/9/2/Lion__s_mane_jellyfish_by_RukySpooky.jpg
Are my comments being reviewed? :(
Yes, you got 3.5 stars out of 5 from Bodger. He liked it so much, he’s keeping it.
Yay :D
thought it was the remains of an arse.
Ah, The Remains of an Arse: One of Sir Anthony Hopkins’ finest perfomances.
You sir, are a legend.
Cheeky.
A wonderful companion piece to Howards End
