Re: Would you have challenged this idiot?

Just another aspect of Yobland Britain.

Over the last few decades the people of this country have sunk beyond measure. Not all, of course, but certainly an increasing number who have given up their humanity.

I suppose we might, knowingly or unknowingly, eat the food the fertiliser helps to grow. Would stopping the use of it control what some say is an increasing number of troublesome seagulls?

I think I might have just fought that seagull off and certainly not held onto it. Either that or just let it take the doughnut. Be careful to hide away somewhere the next time I was eating one.

Yes, I know all about chickens.

Dear donkeyman, I can't agree with much of that at all.

For a start I could not see that bird was alive when slung over the wall.

Secondly, it was not remotely like holding a cat tight at all, as he was not holding the body of the bird, he was squeezing its it's flippin' windpipe! I like to to think you wouldn't be holding a cat like that.

Thirdly, he did not 'release it' as you put it. He threw it away.

Fourthly, you do not carry chickens like that to 'pacify them' either. Idiots only carry them like that when they want to grab several at once and haven't got enough hands.

Only those who can't be bothered, or haven't got the knowledge to hold chickens correctly do that, and even then they hold them by their legs, not their throat!! Do you honestly think being held upside down by your ankles would pacify you very much?


We'd best beg to differ on this one, before I squeeze your windpipe - just to hold you tight of course.

Yes Mart, they do seem to be a nuisance to a lot of holidaymakers I agree, but that nasty old git should have had the common sense not to stand eating a cake/doughnut when surrounded by hungry Seagulls in the first place.

Re: Would you have challenged this idiot?

I must say I've always been careful to keep my snacks under cover when at the seaside. When holidaying in Jersey, I was sitting near a fellow who had just bought a prawn sandwich. It must have been one of the better types of sandwich a person could buy. Probably cost a lot.

He put it down and in an instant, a gull swooped down and carried a half of it off. It taught me a lesson about eating where gulls are present in large numbers.

They aren't really seagulls anymore, just gulls. We only used to see them when it was said that the weather was bad at the coast. We are about 35 miles inland and quite often see them in the garden these days.

The gulls only go where the food is easily obtained!
And they are increasingly found scavenging on our rubbish tips
which are located in the vicinity of towns everywhere ?
Coastal towns also have the added attraction of discarded fishing bait
etc and tourists eating takeaways ? So the onu is on us to make sure
We don't leave shyte laying around l think ??
I also don't approve of cruelty but it is not certain that there was
any in this case??

Re: Would you have challenged this idiot?

Gulls and having them snaffle chips and so on was part of the summer holidays as I remember. So was buying a bag just to feed them - at least it was where we used to go.
