Off Topic And Now for Something Completely Different

Shocking decision in the Kentucky derby.

 

Who won? Was it a high scoring game? Is it as big as the Hull derby?

 

Brid on country file right now

 

Obviously going for the quality places. (Said with tongue firmly in cheek.)

 

Is 'Smart Asses' correct. Memory fails me...

 

Beautiful scenery when craven was on the boat. I’ve gone to brid quite a few times this year and when it’s sunny the sky etc is fantastic
Those bloody seagulls are a nuisance tho

 

Bloody seagulls nesting on next door's chimney stack. Dogs go crackers at them. They get dive bombed by them when their chicks are small and they are protecting them. Would do some damage if they hit them as they are heavy so and sos. Got spikes round my chimney as do the neigbours on our semi.to stop them nesting. New neighbours next door are getting them next year fortunately after one chick, which was fairly big ended up coming down the chimney.

 

Just remembered we went a few weeks ago to brid and one of them crapped onme and the daughter
We’d just come out of Wetherspoons and was walking to the front

 

The pleasures of Birdlington ...

 

I see what you did there...

 

Getting worse because as fish stocks have declined they are going more inland in search of anything they can eat and they aren't fussy. There are notices all over about not feeding them but people do which is why they swoop down. Must be 2 or 3 years since I was last on the harbour. Notices all over saying don't feed them. Some woman was leant with her back ionthe pole holding up a sign the council had put up saying don't feed them as it encourages them as they see people eating and associate people with food.Her husband brought back fish and chips and a seagull swooped down and grabbed the tray. She was going ballistic moaning about there should be warnings and she had a good mind to complain to the council. She must have wondered why Imwas chuckling away.
People still lob chips into the harbour to see the seagulls fighting over them. Needless to say the worst culprits are Wessies.

 

Fame at last...

 

My dad and me at Brid in the mid fifties. Home made wooden spade and bucket made from powdered milk tin. We were poor.

 

A couple of weeks ago, my eBay account suggested that I was selling generators, and had already sold ten! Started to get emails from customers trying to arrange delivery and asking how I wanted the money ( a few hundred quid each). I spoke to eBay, seems I'd been hacked, they were probably using my good reputation (never actually sold anything on eBay), as there's will have been Very poor.
...it couldn't be could it?!!

 

But Happy In a modern Insta world where everyone is so busy capturing the moment you were just living it. Put a smile on quite a few people's faces I suspect, with similar memories

 

I bet they guessed your password was “ALLAMOUT”!

 

The O is wrong and the C and N is missing otherwise ...

 

A powdered milk tin was an aspiration for some of us.

 

I know I know but...

 

Probably equally as important in the proliferation of the 'Nessies' is human waste especially rubbish tips, easy food, low predators and easier nesting
