Having just been to our lovely neighbours’s funeral I was feeling a little low and wondering what to write about that might lift my spirits a little.
So I decided to check out the news.
I know, I know, it’s not the usual place to find fun, light hearted, drive away your cares stuff,
but look …
Go on, look now, I don’t mind, it’s funny.
I’ll just hum a bit while you do it….
Tra la la
Tumpty tum
The wheels on the bus go round and round…
I’m dreaming of a white…
Ahh you’re back.
Well, what do you think?
A shop lifting seagull.
It’s funny right?
I love it.
He just nips in there, grabs a bag and runs.
‘Shopkeeper Mr Nagarajan said: “He’s got it down to a fine art. He waits until there are no customers around and I’m standing behind the till, then he raids the place. ” ‘
And he does it regularly, and he always goes for the same crisps.
What a guy gull.
I bet he’s a hero in the Aberdeen seagull community.
Wonder if he needs an agent?
Hope it made you smile too.
Ohh, and one more thing…
Harry Potter.

Good thing you stopped right there because once I saw Harry Potter I was done. I’m set for the midnight release tonight and woe and curses on anyone who tries to trick me into reading a spoiler. 9 1/2 more hours but hey, who’s counting?
LOL at the gull!

I totally agree.
Spoil Harry Potter people, and I will set this seagull on you, somehow…

Okay, good I am glad you have a no spoil zone. I was thinking today how I would determine what blogs to avoid in fear they would spill potter beans. I won’t even start reading it until I get home a week from tomorrow…
So am I safe here?
oh, funny bird.
July 20th, 2007 at 12:22 pm
You’re safe CamiKaos.
I will not spoil it. That would be soooo mean.

That is hysterical about that gull!! I say, let him have the snacks—after all that plotting and carrying, he deserved them!
I canot WAIT to read Harry Potter!!! Wooohooo!

LOL what a smart boy he is!
Although I always thought they preferred hot chips?

That gull is too stinking cute. He makes a habit of this,eh?
I’m so afraid of HP spoilers that I won’t even go to the midnight sales. All it takes is one mean idiot who turns straight to the end and spreads the news. You could string him/her up by the heels, but it wouldn’t change the fact that you’d heard it.
I envy you in the UK – six minutes to go.

Susan, Mad Goat Lady and RC, I agree, the gull is a star.
As for Harry, I’ve started, but I didn’t wait in a queue, my postman brought mine about 9.30am.

Very funny seagull link Jo! You do realise that you will have tons of muggles linking to your site because you wrote the infamous words ‘Harry Potter’ in a blog entry.
I did worse – I wrote a post weeks ago called ‘Harry Potter’s days are numbered’ and have had fans flooding in. I’ve had to write a post stating that it is NOT a spoiler!!!
July 21st, 2007 at 12:27 pm
I don’t get why people want to know the end before they read the book.
I really hope people don’t spoil it, but I’m sure someone will.
I have read the first 10 Chapters now and I’m hooked but I don’t want to know anymore until I reach it myself.

“He raids the place” – lols! God that’s funny!

Seagulls! What are they like? This one looks cute, but believe me, it’s all an act, that Mr Nice Guy routine. They cause no end of trouble! As you can see from this fellow, their cunning knows no bounds when it comes to hunting down food. Just the other day we saw a mid-air dog fight between half a dozen of them over a piece of bread. Maybe there’s thin picking out at sea for whatever they normally eat…

Audrey hates seagulls.
She has gone so far as to invent a humane killer device-type-thing for them.
Kept her up all night in the shed yesterday, but I do admire her ingenuity: it really is a decent bit of kit.
Basically, they enter via the front capture mechanism tempted by the smell of popcorn . . . and can’t get out afterwards – your basic trap, really.
Then we throw it off a cliff.

Mother at Large, I know what you mean. My sister lives in Brighton and whenever we go we’re always careful where we eat lunch incase we get dive bombed.
Scary.
Napoleon, I will say it again, that hound is a genius.
Give her big hugs from the Beaufoixs.
