whats that white flash....BOFF!!! seagull

[tom-k6]

on way to work yesterday at about 05:55am and as i was nearing sainsburys in castle bromwich, at some miles an hour, i saw a brilliant white flash in front of me....a split second later i felt a sledgehammer hit me in the shoulder and upper arm,

so far i have had a starling hit me in the eye through an open visor and now a seagull hit me in upper arm/shoulder. im thinking a glancing leg attack to an eagle for my next assault on the Avian Family.


bloody hurt tho, didnt realise just how big a seagull is or just how heavy they are.

You got off lightly Tom by the sound of it, seagulls are big ugly weighty fecking things, glad you didnt bin it anyway.

+1 top bombing on staying upright pal.
If you're doing AR this year then a Pheasant at knee height isnt out of the question. ... Enjoy

i was pretty lucky that it was a boff and bounce off, its currently resides smushed in the gutter near the goods in entrance to the castle bromwich retail park haha.

i would love to go to the AR and the new job means its a very high possibility, but might be a day trip up to try and meet people ive not met before then head home in the evening,

Don't be a loser. Get the other bunk house full up with you and some others and do the whole thing

I'd really recommend against trying to day-trip the AR from Birmingham - it's a long way up and down, and if you do the rideout as well you would be looking at 400 miles all in.
