My god I've seen it all now

The birds are reportedly 'ganging up' to target women carrying food along the seaside - with one tapping girls to make her drop her food, while the rest hover close by to swoop in for the feast.
Lifeguards on the beach have described scenes worthy of Alfred Hitchcock's horror film The Birds as the gulls become smarter and more brazen than ever before.

I'm waiting for the next Daily Fail headline "ISIS Seagulls unleashing faeces on top of unsuspecting non-believers" :rolleyes:

- bird steals my sammich
- guest house refused to cook brekkie
- fish n chips too expensive
- i wanna speak to teh Queen

These calls can be tracked / triangulated. Above examples should be mandatory £1000 fine for wasting 999 time, and to discourage similar calls. Also, if it made the difference between life and death from genuine calls being made around the same time, then also press attempted murder charges against the nuisance caller. The same goes with people who attack firemen when they respond to a hoax call.

First accurate thing you've said so far. You're quite right, it's very clear that you have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.

First your lunch, then shopping. It will end badly.

You sometimes wonder how this country has managed to defend itself against the Spanish Armada, Napoleon, Hitler etc. when we can't defend an ice cream cone from a medium-sized sea bird.

To be fair Seagulls were never a threat in those days, they have evolved from marine scavengers feeding off crabs and small fish into winged vermin feeding off trash bins and stolen chips (similar to how Pandas have evolved from capable hunters into obese jokes which are incapable of catching their natural prey).

Seagulls are the least of the problems that the people who defended these Islands from the Spanish, French and Germans would be rolling their eyes at!
