rm0rgan Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 What an horiffic experienceI had today...From this to this in 2 seconds!! Today I ran out of toner for my Colour Laser Printer, so had to nip to Gloucester to get a swift replacement... It wasnt raining, so I kept the roof off....in fact it was quite mild and I really enjoyed the drive in. As I came into Gloucester, i noticed a few seagulls up ahead but thought nothing of it until I passed underneath and then saw what I can only describe as a shower of bird shit heading in my general direction - now, i'm not convinced they were bombing me inparticular, but it certainly felt that way. I managed to dodge one load but unfortunatly, a car was coming onto the roundabout and so I had to yield...the next dump was a direct hit and landed smack bang on my (bald) head. Foolishly, I had forgotten my wooly hat and with the feeling and texture of what had just hit me now running down my face and over my Ray-Bans I immediately vomitted into my lap!! Christ - you should have seen the looks I got in Staples - I can see the reports now of some 40 year old man wondering around covered in vomit and bird shit!!! At least it never really hit the inside of the car, but I'm still trying not to gag when trying to type this - I never knew they could produce so much! So there you are - be warned - Seagulls dont like Lotus! Happy day! RM
Eric Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Excellent story. Not sure if it was supposed to be funny but it certainly made me smile. Sorry matey. Just goes to show that you can't trust birds - any of them! Cheers, Eric
Greg.g Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Oh dear I had a similar experience in Jersey some years ago. Four of us were sitting outside a cafe having tea and cakes when a seagull flew over and shit on my mates head. He had the last laugh though as only a few minutes later another one flew over and in true Barns Wallace style managed to leave a deposit right on my cream cake just as i was about to take a mouth full Fortunately, i saw the added extras before taking a bite. For some unknown reason everyone else on the table found this most amusing!
DunkHSP Posted April 2, 2008 Posted April 2, 2008 Ha ha. Sorry i know thats not funny or nice but my childish sense of humour always makes me snigger when i read stories like that. bad luck mate (or ist it good luck).
Steve J Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Bird poo is good for hair re-growth apparently. Well maybe not, but was a funny story though
Deleted_User Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 All very serious until - I passed underneath and then saw what I can only describe as a shower of bird shit heading in my general direction hilarious
Laura Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 That is horrible, it's supposed to be lucky you know but I dont see how!
JonS Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Did you rub it in? Sorry, hate to laugh at your expense, but that brightened up my day a little
SEAMUS-10 Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 I just laughed so hard my glasses fell off. Sorry to hear of your misfortune, but your sorrow has given joy to others, and if you had a hairy head it would have been a bugger to wash out. I am also bald and proud (I sound like quite a looker, don't I)? The visual image of you in Staples is going to stay with me for a long time. Like something out of Steve Coogan/Charlie Higgson/dad's Army scene. I shall keep baby wipes in the car from now on. James.
dalepearson Posted April 3, 2008 Posted April 3, 2008 Similar happen to me last week, lucky for me it hits the windscreen and bonet, and yes I have baby wipes in the boot to clean this mess of ASAP, bird muck loves to eat the paint. Still your story did make me laugh, splendid.
rm0rgan Posted April 3, 2008 Author Posted April 3, 2008 Well...a days gone by and I'm still follically challenged!! Glad it brought a few smiles - even i'm laughing about it now :-) Oh Happy days!
Jo23 Posted April 4, 2008 Posted April 4, 2008 Hehe, very funny story. I went on a girls hol to Zante (4 of us altogether) and had got ready for a night out an were walking down to the main strip of clubs. As we were walking down there were loads of very bushy trees towering above our heads, and on 3 seperate occasions, birds pooped on my friends (very bushy, long and curly) hair! So three times we had to stop and clean her hair up on our way out. She wasn't too impressed and as you can imagine we couldn't stop laughing by the third time. Lets just say we took the mick for the rest of the holiday and from then on we walked the beach way to get to the clubs! Lol.
