Life is riddled with a procession of minor impediments

[The Legendary Shark]

This reminds me of a very old and completely non-pc joke from back in the day, which I will spoiler to protect the delicate sensibilities of right-minded people everywhere...

[spoiler]"What would you do if a bird shat on your head?"

"I'd finish with her."[/spoiler]

[JohnW]

In honour of olden days, my delicate sensibilities had a non-pc chuckle at that.

Chippies?

Not a mugging but certainly a menacing: I was ganged up on by an ever-increasing number of crows in a public park in Brussels a few weeks back. Belgian crows have nothing on Irish seagulls, but there were a lot of the bastards and they were on their own turf. Shameful to admit, but I took myself and my sandwich elsewhere at speed.

Sounds like you had a narrow escape there, JWare, when one considers that the collective noun for those feathered beasties is A Murder of Crows.

[JohnW]

Better a murder of crows than a Skanger of Seagulls.
(And if that's not the word, then it is now.)

[The Legendary Shark]

A GBH of seagulls?

An ASBO of seagulls?

[Definitely Not Mister Pops]

[The Legendary Shark]

ASBO it is.

[JohnW]

'Flock' certainly won't do it (unless you can get away with hairstyles like that).
ASBO it is, unless you're in Dublin. Then it's definitely a skanger of seagulls.

He's got Paddykafka's falafel on his conscience.

I saw the way this thread is heading and didn't walk away, I ran.

GBH

Definitely my preferred noise and hairstyle with a choice over seagulls.

[The Legendary Shark]

What are those two in the middle doing?

The blokes from GBH seem to be grabbing at each others Sex Pistols!
