A girl that I work with always has to describe things as actual. “That was actual amazing”, or “it’s actual freezing out there”.

stevieKTID Posted March 28, 2019 Share Posted March 28, 2019 Feeding bread to ducks, you do realise that animals have been surviving and thriving way before you bought too much bread. I regularly see a woman in Vondel park and she is always dumping loads of bread for the geese and ducks, today one of my dogs ran over to grab some of the bread as I walked over to move the dog on she turned and growled "get that dog away the bread is for the ducks" I was quite taken aback but decided to try and educate her, told her it contained no nutritional value, its basically junk food for them, it fills them up and stops them eating what they should eat, it also attracts rats and mice (its actually banned in some areas of Amsterdam for this very reason) she just stared blankly and replied "it's ok I'm a vegan and the bread is biological"....I did a Garry O'Connor face, then turned and two of my dogs are looking at me as if to say "leave it mate, you can't reason with crazy" 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's an old twat in Dundee city centre who keeps feeding the fucking gulls. They're a big problem in the city centre and there are signs up asking folk not to do it. I regularly see folk get food nicked out of their hands by gulls (admittedly it's quite amusing) but the big feathery terrorists are shitey wee scummy fannies. The old lad is just pissing everyone off with such dick behaviour. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet management just dont give a f**k. I presume they are waiting till the end of the financial year ( and of the week ) but why not just give us that dates n stop being c***s. My small fear of my new job ( got moving n handling training soon before I can start n decide shifts ) is what happens if I hate it. I know it's a gamble as that's what I tried with call centre n realised as much as I can do the job it was bollox You've got no control which frees you not to worry. See what happens and if the worst comes to the worst go to Lidl or Aldi. Pay's not bad. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tend to lean towards the view that urban pigeons are "roof rats" but as the coffin dodger in question looks like Unlucky Alf from the Fast Show I think one day I'll see his remains lying there after a "The Birds" scenario.. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
