Bibliogryphon 9,586 Posted March 30, 2016 Seagulls Normally I'm in the 'feed them baking powder/tie two together' camp with you Handy, but got a semi pet one the now with a dodgy foot. He's quiet so I feed him mussels etc. Threw a fat coley at him yesterday which was waaaay too big for him but he scoffed it, took two hops, and face planted There's fun to be had with them... Seagulls are cunts. I am currently in Looe, where they are fat and vicious. The seagulls, obvs. My wife found one trapped in the ice at a local reservoir. He came home with us and stayed been fed on sardines during a bitterly cold spell. Eventually one day he just hopped out on the cage bowed his head and flew away. Though for several years later if the weather got cold we would get a seagull circling over the garden. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,140 Posted March 30, 2016 Talking of vicious birds, there's currently a big row in our village because three big nasty ducks on the pond were shot yesterday. The bleeding hearts say they should have been caught and taken to a local nature reserve, or summat. Where presumably they could carry on pecking some other innocent mallards to death. I think you can guess my views on the matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Paul Bearer 6,102 Posted March 30, 2016 We have peacocks wandering around our village. They're a pain in the arse when they start their 'singing' especially at 4am in the middle of summer. I think the village council are discussing a possible cull. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deathray 2,940 Posted March 30, 2016 Do you all live in villages? Also the nature reserve could have kept them in a separate pond to the mallards. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 30, 2016 The thing is, the UK is densely populated but not necessarily everybody lives in cities. There are a lot of small villages, but close to each other and not that much open space. While in the US, you've got a couple of urban clusters (Northeast, West Coast, Great Lakes) and the rest is just miles and miles of nothing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Villages that are very close to each other and don't have much open space between them are called estates and usually make up part of a town/city. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Handrejka 1,904 Posted March 30, 2016 I live on the coast, I have a nice view when my window isn't covered in seagull shit. I do think it significant that is German the word for seagull and the word for cunt are only one letter different. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Handrejka 1,904 Posted March 30, 2016 Cunt is Möse and Seagull is Möwe, though I'm not sure if Möse is used in all the same contexts as cunt. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RadGuy 1,614 Posted March 31, 2016 Okay, I know, I exaggerated. But my point was that it's more likely for a Brit to live in the countryside since they're usually no more than a few hours from the nearest city. In the USA, almost everybody lives in one of the densely populated urban clusters. Cause if they don't, they're three states away from the nearest city.

Because we don't have much room we pack a lot of people into urban areas. We're closer to the countryside than you guys in big cities, but were not living in it, The World Bank says that urban populations in the UK are almost equal if not a bit higher than the US. http://data.worldbank.org/indicator/SP.URB.TOTL.IN.ZS 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
