Giving marauding birds the eye makes them more wary of stealing food, study finds

They attack in a blur of white and grey. In an instant, a pleasant day at the beach is transformed into a Hitchcockian nightmare of screams, pecks and flapping wings. Before the victim knows what hit them, their sausage roll is no more.

I feel nothing but contempt for our local seagulls as they don't have the balls to steal food out my mitts. They just gather round in a crowd like I'm some kind of fucking busker up Sauciehall Street on a Saturday. They should pay me.

I'd like to think the science editor of a newspaper would know that there are no such things as 'seagulls'

No such thing as seagulls.

Seagulls are big...most snacks are made of cheap dirty materials, so you know..you should feel lucky a seagull attacks you....💣💣🧿

Bird's eye view: Staring at seagulls could save your chipsThe birds are notoriously aggressive when it comes to trying to get their beaks on our beach lunches. Staring is no good. I saw Jurassic Park. Stare at one and the other hits your chip bag from the flank. 😬 No it won’t And stupid people not feeding them in the first place could also save your chips.

Benefits firm goes to court to save reputationAssessor Capita is seeking to overturn a ruling and £10,000 damages award after a claimant died. Disgusting and shameless! These people have no shame & all for extra money in their wages for refusing people what they are entitled to. I don't wish anything on anyone but I hope that those who saw the ££'s end up disabled & in despair. Capita are a corrupt organisation. They gave my mother zero points on her assessment when she was dying of cancer. We got the letter overturning the decision the day after she died. Everyone should sue the fuck out of them.
