stubby 175 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 if you want some pigeon spikes, give me a shout I'll sort you them out for free, although seagull spikes would be better as they are extra high, Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nik_B 3,790 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 They sound like ok people, speak to them and see if you can come up with something together. or Invite them over to sunday lunch and eat the offending bird. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Waz 4,279 Posted March 4, 2010 Report Share Posted March 4, 2010 (edited) Just explain to him, that his cock is very impressive from a distance, but you dont want it in your face or rammed down your throat. You could try and get his wife onside first and ask her if you had a cock would she like it all over her front porch. Hope this has helped Edited March 4, 2010 by GD Waz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
