FNRttC - Susie's (and Daisy's) birthday party

[Aperitif]

It's funny - do you remember all the seagulls making a loud noise that day in Brighton?

No; nor do I. Obviously because there was a psycho buzzard around!
It all makes perfect sense.

A buzzard and a fly by night...something doesn't quite work with your story, Frank. Besides, I've reported you to the RSPB for trying to sully an innocent bird's reputation. (Not the first time you have tried that I suspect.)

Ahem.
Battling buzzard attacks cyclist
Always wear a helmet, peeps. You know it makes sense.

See 'Teef ^. I knew some of you sceptics would take some convincing but, in this story, it sounds like the scary bird tried to steal this poor guy's buff even though he wasn't wearing one!

It's on YACF so it must be true

Buzzards are a bit wussy compared to gulls. They'd have seen it off in an instant. Your story looks thinner by the minute. If this tried to nick my buff, I wouldn't argue...

there are a lot of gulls on Brighton's seafront. And we were in the Seagull restaurant.

No guano Sherlock!
I appreciate Olaf had just cause for the 'seagull defence', following the theft of his toast at Newhaven last year, but to think one could be so gullible Frank...I'm sure you'll continue feathering your own nest; and despite Adrian declaring that he had forgiven and forgotten in order to move on, you are suddenly making a claim to be the Sir Peter Scott of CycleChat - and pinching threads from someone else's forum to prove the point (unsuccessfully).
I rest my case. (Oh, I had better not - it may be 'missing' next I return )

While there's clearly not much I can do in the face of the sheer weight of wit that 'Teef can bring to bear, I reckon I could make a few quid if Claud is willing to back her usually impeccable (haha) judgement on a seagull against a buzzard, in a game of chicken.

On a pancake-flat course? There are gulls and gulls, Frank. And at the top of the gull pecking order your buzzard looks like a big girl's blouse. I'm not going to put big money on a Kittiwake, but just in case you thought they might be wrong about birds and dinosaurs:

There's a bit of Ancient Marinyorker about this scenario now, Frank. I don't suppose you have room for an albatross around your neck - what with all the buffs, like...best to secede as per Counsel Adrian's advice.
Now, moving on, what's #'trending'# for you this coming season, Frank? Mitts, Sunglasses - a surreptitious sip of everyone's beer whilst distracted? (I know that's a typical South Walian ruse which has permeated the English habit, but there's no need to stoop so low.)
One thing's for sure. Don't get yourself up before the beak!
