Good Luck x 2

They say it's a good omen to have a bird (the feathery kind) crap on you, but twice in the space of 30 seconds must be some sort of record. I am truly blessed, and here is why:

I was sauntering down my local high street this morning when I heard some upbeat music coming from above. I looked up just in time to cop a load of white ooze in the eyes, nose and mouth. The salty undertone in flavour led me to believe it had come from a seagull (unusual considering it's seventy miles to the sea), but the sun in my eyes rendered it impossible to make a firm description. Anyway, I hastened across the street towards the sanctuary of the 'Business Association for Young Quakers', peering upwards for a glimpse of the winged offender, when again a spray of rogue discharge entered my mouth. I spat the curried matter to the ground and glanced up to see a telescope lens withdraw into a third floor window - perhaps the equipment of a keen twitcher.

I'm off to buy some scratchcards. And mouthwash.

 

You've been Groved!

 

I am certainly a keen twitcher, a Hornythologist of the first order.

 

I think they are technically just called gulls and not seagulls that everybody seems to call them

I could not be sure of the exact specimen, so I felt a generalisation would be apt.

 

You are still wrong though, sorry mate

 

Better get a tetanus shot


“The droppings of a seagull in a single day carried about 10 times more concentrated bacteria than the waste from a human in a single day,” said EPA senior scientific officer, Peter Webster.

So colloquialisms are wrong, eh, sunshine?

As wrong as your comma splice, methinks.

 

I like comma splices.

 

I prefer custard ones.

 

I was just about to write almond slices. What are we like, eh?

 

I like a cream horn.

Thank you, buddy. At least someone cares.

 

Are mick's answers correct in the quiz?

 

2 of them are,the Irish one was a wild guess.

 

Excellent, I will play now!
