BS: Local newspaper hijacked

I'm sorry - nothing whatsoever to do with folk music or Iraq, and a fine example of non-censorship; this
made me laugh out loud. Persevere with the readers' coments!

I agree with this action. Pigeons carry all manner of diseases like AIDS, malaria, rabies and mad cow disease to name but a few. They are also very aggressive and I can vouch for this as I was attacked by a flock and pecked severely while on my way home from flower arranging classes. In fact I would be more than happy to help in the killing of these evil creatures. Well done Kingston council keep up the good work."


I can only hope this one's a joke...

Kinda hard to separate the serious, but weird, from the jokes in this one. Makes fascinating reading.

It seems to me they are all tongue in cheek, Becca, quite like some of the old threads here at the Mudcat.

Thanks, Gervase! I thinkyou should warn anyone who may have a beverage before they start reading though!:->

Pigeons pecked my old aunty Betty to death at Lourdes in 1944. At first we we were very upset but we can all see the funny side when we look back now.

The word is "pigeon".

Not "pidgin"; that's a language term.

Not "Pidgeon"; that's the name of an actor.

Pigeon! Pigeon! Pigeon!

I never realized pigeons were bred from dolphins. Interesting, that.

Haven't had such a good laugh in ages. Tears rolling down my face, and I've only read the first dozen or so.
Thanks Gervase.
