Hi SB, it wasn't a fish.
"He acquired his first monkey, a spider monkey called "Jayhew" back in 1956, to liven up his home. His best known pet was a very fresh, mischievous chimpanzee called "Scatter." Elvis loved this crazy monkey, but hardly anyone else shared the King's affinity. Elvis enjoyed walking around and carrying "Scatter" on his shoulder and often brought him out to Hollywood when he was filming movies in the '60s. "Scatter" liked to wear clothes, drink whiskey, and tear up rooms. Elvis bought him a wardrobe of suits and ties. "Scatter" had the annoying (at least to the women involved) habit and penchant for pulling up women's dresses. When drunk, he had no qualms about about engaging in public masturbation. "Scatter" was reputedly poisoned in revenge by a maid he had bitten. Other sources pin his demise on alcohol-related liver problems"
Sadly I looking at The Chase and Millionaire for some of these weird questions.

Dave Pegg? Ralph McTell? Richard Thompson? Kirsty McColls dad?
That’s me done on English folk people
There was a lot of controversy about the introduction of electrified elements to traditional folk - it was suggested that Pete Seeger was responsible for trying to cut his amplification.
That's the one Cologne - allegedly he chopped the cable with a hatchet, but later said that he only threatened to cut it - although there are stories that he had to be restrained from doing so!
Cheers Steels. A nautical question: Where is the highest point above sea level which is reachable from the sea by a commercial sea bound vessel ?
What was Pete Seeger doing in Wales, must have felt really strongly about this.
Just to simplify this - if you leave Felixstowe in a smallish ship where is the highest point above sea level you can possibly reach on your journey ? Presuming you don't meet Woglinde, Wellgunde and Flasshilde on the way !
Somewhere high up the Amazon? Or somewhere in the Great Lakes via the St Lawrence Seaway?
The Great Lakes are 182 metres above sea level. The area I am referring to is much higher and is regularly travelled by commercial traffic, including small container ships.
Ok now got your Rhine maidens hint, so it will be the Swiss German border on the Rhine, I think that’s as far as you can go upstream in a big boat. Basel?
