www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-glasgow-west-26533246Shouldn't laugh but I'm sorry.......  She's wanting £30,000 cos she lost her footing and fell over running away from... a bird? Who is she, Tippi Fecking Hedren now?  Let me get this right. In a coastal area, seagulls fly about; quelle surprise! This lady decides to go to a burger van parked nearby, in her lunchbreak. Hmmm. Not tempting at all for passing gulls.... She was neither 'attacked' nor 'pecked'. Am reminded of the time we took wean and friends to Blair Drummond Safari park when they were tiny wee. "That lion shouted at me" she quoth. Maybe I shoulda sued for distress and anxiety caused.

Heidie Wrote a great piece in Clash being attacked by a magpie years ago I meant to keep it but I lost it.  To me it was the greatest piece I have seen on a Scottish forum |

This converted Victorian school is right across the dual carriageway from the cleansing department depot, hence the gulls, its been there as long as the school You'lll know the place Rolo, its adjacent to the tall ships site. Right beside Arnold Clarks Vauxhall and Ford garages It would need a squadron of owls and hawks / falcons to scare the massed ranks off seagulls away - they've been there or years too, the gulls She was aff her work for 2weeks or something then found it took ages to be able to sit comfortably The seagulls in Greenock are the size of ostriches, not only that thur cheeky basturts and love doing Stuka impressions |

I was thinking about this yesterday and I wanted to clarify that I wasn't making fun of the assault or the man's injuries, only the goofy headline typeset.

It's one bizarre case, Peony, from what I read today. Apparently not remotely similar to the Bobbit case, cos a man of 22's been arrested for the assault, the story goes the victim had 'been with' the attacker's wife. Despite an earnest search by the Middlesbrough polis  , the appendage is yet to be found. |

Just a horrible thing to do to a guy, specially a young guy. Mind you I know one or two . . .

Bloody good call! I was dead happy for this daft bint to use public resources to bring this most ridiculous of cases. Oh yes, I really was.  I bet the idiot compo lawyer types encouraged her. And she's clearly gull-ible. |
