Tourist complains about sight of fish in harbour!

[Toadflax]

Doubtless hyped up by the press, but an amusing diversion towards the end of the afternoon.

If you think that's bad some second home owners complained about the noise from my friends farm when he milks the cows they asked him to milk later in the day so as not to disturb them

 

[monkey spanner]

What a numpty.

Oh, there's plenty of 'em about.

I can recall a few things that have been said to me.

"Those trees need to be chopped down because they make an awful noise when it's windy"

"Come quick! There's a baby badger trying to get in my house and attack us." - it was an escaped ferret.

"Can't something be done about those cows mooing?" - lots of people have heard people say this.

"Your chickens make an awful racket in the morning." to which I had a stand up argument until he was red in the face, as I totally denied I had chickens - they were cockerels.

My favourite was this one:

"Are they squirrels?"
"Yep, vampire squirrels"
"Do they eat nuts?"
"No, meat"

Had one really puzzled grockle walking away from that.

We had residents in a village near us who complained about the sound of the children playing in the playground at break time in the primary school that's been there longer than they have. Personally I find the sound one of the happiest on the planet.

It never ceases to amaze me, the amount of gobs****s there is in this world.

I was taklking to a butcher once when we were on holiday and he told me about a numpty who came in for a leg of lamb.

He told them he wouldn't have any today but he's got some lamb going for slaughter tomorrow and to come back the day after that. Response from the numpty... 'ohh.. I don't want any if you're going to kill the lamb'

You mean with an echo on it and some tinkly off key nursery music playing almost imperceptibly in the background.

Yes I have played the cradle level on "Thief, Deadly Shadows"

The kirk bells, of one form or another, have rung in the village on the same site, for over 1300 years.
A new block of flats was built relatively nearby and the new residents complained and asked the bells be stopped as a nuisance noise
What the hang did they move here for ?
Needless to say the bells are still ringing

cheers,
M

Its like the low flying complaints we used to get at least once a week after new tenants moved into the cottage on the approach to the grass strip runway at Middle Wallop, DOH!

I think he should be hermetically sealed in a man size Tupperware box for his own good - god forbid he's exposed to anymore realities.

 

[John Fenna]

He has children?!
Numpties of that scale should be banned from breeding!

 

[Wild Thing]

I was in Ilfracombe harbour a coupleof weeks ago, and the same thing happened, but my 13 year old son was interested as to what was going on and not even my 15 year old daughter commented on the smell.

I wonder if he would have complained about the smell in the aquarium at Ilfracombe harbour, as the display that represents the harbour is an open topped display that lets you look down on the fish and it does have a certain aroma about it.

What a Richard Head...

Is it just me or does the story sound a bit, erm, fishy? Like one of those false stories people write to see how far it goes?

I mean, would he really give his name, would fresh fish actually smell much or be covered in flies?
