Bath seems to be overrun with seagulls! The weather has been quite warm lately, so I have been sleeping with my bedroom windows open (my normal fear of spider invasion being overridden by the sticky-heat causing insomnia). Throughout the night, the seagulls nesting by the nearby riverside screech and scream, making the most awful noise.
I have been tempted to go down with a shotgun and take them out. On hindsight though, I don’t think that is a good idea – think about it – a man walking around in his pyjamas, brandishing a shotgun and firing into the sky.
Not only was my sleep interrupted by the bloody seagull row, but some inconsiderate youth was riding around on a Chavmobile (or “moped”), also at some ungodly hour. Is it wrong of me to wish that he crashes?
The weather has been great the last few days; it is finally starting to look and feel like June and not a damp, cold autumn morning. I’m making the most of it by enjoying the outdoors when I am not at work as it is sure to rain over the weekend with this typical and predictable weather.
With summer weather brings an increase in sea gulls. These are vicious little buggers, on my way back from work as I walk through the car park I can see them all standing on buildings and lamp posts. It’s like a scene from a Hitchcock movie. They have flown down from buildings squawking at me and do look threatening at times. I just know one of them will shit on me one day!
How I would love to sit out in my garden with a rifle shooting them out of the sky. Unfortunately this would probably attract the interest of a police helicopter which is not good!
The gull problem seems to be a lot worse in Bath City Centre which is where most of the birds probably come from. The council have taken measures to get rid of the vermin but it doesn’t really seem to be working, tourists seem to be a major factor to this. These tourists come to Bath for a nice holiday, they don’t have to live here. They see the gulls, think they’re cool and feed them. Cheers for that Mr. Tourist, you can leave after your holiday but residents here have to live alongside these vicious animals!
Anyway, that’s enough of that rant, time for something funny – unless you’re a Man U fan! Malcolm Glazer is really causing havoc at Old Trafford – what a shame! He has just recently put his two sons on the board. His sons whose only previous knowledge of football (or soccer) is watching ESPN and now if tabloid papers are to be believed, Manchester United legend Sir Bobby Charlton is going to be kicked off his position on the committee.
P45 for Bobby!
It’s all going wrong and is only a matter of time before the big name players start to leave and Major League Soccer players join The Red Devils! This is of course hilarious for football fans across the world who do not support Man Utd, it just makes you want to laugh out loud!

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.
