Millet 4,497 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Is there any documented evidence of a swan actually breaking mans arm them? You hear it all the time, "don't go near a swan, they can break a mans arm easily!" Only a swan with a baseball bat. Or one that is fired at you out of a canon.. Or Swan from the film "The Warriors". Or a baldy from the Wanderers film.. right i'll get my coat now i've had enough.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Theres a big gang of them down on the river near Pembroke castle, friendly enough like providing you toss them a few salad rolls. Its like a swan toll That'd be these feckers! There was one on the other side of the mill bridge there that used to kill any other swans apart from his mate that accidentally landed on what he decided was 'his' pond, he was nicknamed Hannibal locally! He used to drown them by holding their heads underwater.. His side of the pond: Didn't realise there was a wiki article about him! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_(swan) Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 thats mental malt lol That castle and pond is a few hundred yards down the road from my nan and grandad's house mate. My grandad used to take me down there all the time as a kid to feed the swans and ducks, and then he used to take my eldest down there when she was small. Every now and again in summer you used to get a load of flies come off the water at once. One of my first memories is being in my pushchair and screaming as we were enveloped by a cloud of the f***ing things one afternoon! My mum reckons they were that thick it was like being in a black fog and you could only see so far ahead. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Hob&Jill 258 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 Geese are the same when they have young.

scothunter 12,609 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 way it should be. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted June 19, 2013 Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 way it should be. It's good in a way, but they won't even let us have a mobile phone mast here yet if a company or person has enough money, the same rules don't seem to apply then.. The national park planning authority are an unelected group of people who make decisions that have an effect on peoples day to day lives.. It don't sit right with me.. Their rules and decisions are partly responsible for the lack of growth and some of the lowest wages in the UK, but on the other hand they ensure that the place remains a nice place.. I don't know whether I'd prefer them gone or not.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted June 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2013 yea its a hard one,you dont seem to miss something till its actually gone, yea typical though the ordinary man ignored but grease enough palms and heritage goes oit the window. the corruption and scamming and unfairness in this country these days,would not look out of place in russia or bulgaria.used to mock those nations at the way they were treated by thier goverments. not any f*****g more i dont.
