Site Supporter Spider Posted April 13, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2022 Ironically, I had to rescue one with a broken wing on Sunday. despite the fact it was fucked, it still managed to peck a hole in my arm and put up a real struggle. Its dead now, like. Had to put it out of its misery. To answer the question, I reckon 6 or 7 fully fit seagulls could overpower a bloke no problem. They’re fucking evil.

Site Supporter Tonge moor green jacket Posted April 13, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2022 It you're talking of proper big buggers like a herring gull, then half a dozen or so. Smaller ones, just keep windmilling away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gonzo Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 The Urban Gulls round here are bigger than fucking bald eagles. Fed off high carb diets involving chips, naan breads and vomit they are warriors. 4 of em could take your average man easy. Ive seen one flip a car over for a single chip.

Site Supporter FrancisFogarty Posted April 13, 2022 Site Supporter Share Posted April 13, 2022 (edited) You'd be more fired up if a seagull nicked your £8 odd cod and chips, and he would get a right twatting. Especially if it knocked your specs off in the process. If it was only a two quid candy floss you might be a bit more lenient and just give it a bit of a slap. Make the punishment fit the crime, I say. Edited April 13, 2022 by Francis Fogarty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Duck Egg Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 Normal seagull - 6 or 7. Morecambe seagulls, I reckon about 20. Soft as shite. I'd do the disabled ones first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm proper nails me mind 😁 If one lured you down a side street on the pretext of you being on your own, and a load of them popped up from a skip I reckon you'd have your hands full. Your tie would be all over one side and your hair all messed up, probably with a scratch one one cheek. Like Tippi Hedren and that bloke out of 'The Birds'.

Youri McAnespie Posted April 13, 2022 Share Posted April 13, 2022 I used to amuse myself as a kid by picking up dog-ends (when everyone smoked) peeling the orange paper off and chucking them off the North Pier when the tide was in to the skiving gulls bobbing about on the sea - the greedy twats fell for it every time and wolfed them down.
