New You'll have seagulls
Noisy arseholes that they are.
New Re: You'll have seagulls
I like them. Hanging out at the hotel parking lot 6:00 a.m. in the morning and they are everywhere here. I don't mind them at all.

Except.

30 or 40 years ago I was working on the boardwalk. The seagulls picked up large objects and dropped them wherever I was. They were trying to smash clams as far as default behavior is concerned. But they would pick up bottles and then drop them next to me and they would explode.

One day a bottle exploded next to me and I thought the parking lot guy threw a bottle at me. I raged. I went after this guy and I was going to kill him for throwing a bottle at me. He explained it was seagulls. Those f****** will drop bottles to open stuff up and eat it and we then painted pictures of seagulls everywhere so the seagulls flying above did not think they could drop a bottle there, there would be a seagull there to steal their food from them.
New They're the one aspect of living here that can wear a bit thin
New are they still called shytehawks?

New "still"? Never were.
"Shitehawk" is a synonym for "gobshite"; afaik, it's never used to refer to our avian friends, no matter how fucking annoying they are when they start squawking at 0330 in summer.
New Ever since seeing this ...

New I think they're always laughing
When I was staying at the hotel there was a perch that they always played King of the Hill on. It was the hotel sign. And I told him to shut the f******. And they listen to me. I toss some french fries, they come eat them and they stay quiet.


I'm now in the house. I have achieved. Don't know how long it will last but I'm going to enjoy it while it does.
