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

Re: whats that white flash....BOFF!!! seagull
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, |

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.
