    Zigs are you one and the same mate ? :snork:

    A man in Yeovil called 999 to complain he had been chased by a badger, police have revealed.

    He told the operator he had "literally just got away" from the animal, which was "quite vicious" and would not stop chasing him.

    The call was released by Avon and Somerset Police hours after a man had dialled 999 to say his sandwich had been stolen by a seagull.

      What's really sad is that I'm not surprised by the stupidity of my fellow man any more :dunno:

                    Seagulls are displaying more worrying behaviour though of late.

                    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/ear...ath-by-seagull-in-horrific-garden-attack.html

                    On a more common scale though, people frequently have their icecream or snack swooped on/taken by seagulls. I recall having a takeaway fish and chips by Brighton beach and didn't feel safe eating it there....Eventually I had to keep throwing them some batter (far away from me) to deter them from making a direct swoop on me.

                      They've learned to dive bomb ice creams in Lyme Regis too.

                      Can't see why a prolific bird with a 100% breeding success rate is protected :dunno:
