There were trillions of slugs on the streets of Weston this morning. On the short walk to work, I made many observations on the slimy creatures.
Most of the slugs were dead, with their guts spawn across the pavement. The fatal injury was probably caused by a bird’s beak, but most likely, the foot of a person, not looking where they are going, while walking to work. It was a gruesome sight and reminded me of the Normany Beach scene from Saving Private Ryan.
My second observation was that slugs are cannibals. Surrounding most of the dead slugs, were other slugs, gorging on the bowels and organs of their dead and dying relatives.
Observation number three, is that in today’s society, where we are all part of the ‘Health and Safety Gone Mad Brigade’, these slugs are a real issue. A danger. If someone were to slip on one of these things, they could break their leg, or worse, die. You’ll get no sympathy, either. Imagine going to A&E, with a broken arm. They ask how you hurt yourself. “I slipped on a slug”. That’s even more pathetic than a banana skin. You would be laughed at.
My fourth and final observation is, unlike snails, you can’t even eat slugs. Somebody must have tried, which is pretty disgusting in all honesty.

This blog post title sounds like the name of a song, should Peter Andre ever collaborate with garage band, The Streets...
... because of Mysterious Girl and how Mike Skinner - front man of The Streets - seems to refer to all women as "birds" (maybe) ... get it? Forget it.

We have seen another feathered friend in our garden.
Claire managed to snap a photo using her mobile phone.
The bird looks to be juvenile, but I have been unable to work out what breed it actually is.
I discussed what it could possibly be with family. I also posted the photo on a web forum for bird... - Bin Juice

Humans are stupid. Well not all of them. There are exceptions. For example, I'm not stupid and neither are you for reading my blog.
Believe it or not, this isn't a rant about the Tory Cabinet or the selfish cretins who are still to grasp the concept of 'lockdown' - although those two sets of individuals,... - You’re Gonna Need A Bigger Bird Box
We have been getting a frequent visitor to our garden.
Unfortunately, I think he or she is a little too big for the bird box on our garden wall!

About Me
So you stumbled across my blog. No doubt after searching for something bizarre on Google. Before you hit that 'Back Button', why not stay and have a read for a few minutes?
If you are after a website which gives advice on how to hack an iPhone X, download the latest Steven Seagal movie, or view nudy ladies, you've come to the wrong place and may now press 'Back'.
However, if you would like a lifestyle blog, written by a 30-something chap, living in Bath (England), feast your eyes on this.
You won't discover how to copy PlayStation 4 games. What you will find is a blog, covering life in the West Country, the highs and lows of supporting two unsuccessful football teams, while sharing a house with a wife and rabbit.
All written by a man, somewhere on the sanity-scale between normal and eccentric.
