I learned something new today shortly after arriving at Rimac. Would you like to know what?
It turns out that birdwatchers are the most ill-mannered, miserable people on the planet. I didn't know that until a big, arrogant dog walker informed me. But he learned something also. This ill-mannered miserable person informed him of a few facts about dog walkers. His ears are probably still ringing
He didn't know he was picking on the No 1 dog hater east or west of the Pecos with an opinion or three and Mr Angry's mentor
He started by asking if I was a birdwatcher and why are birdwatchers so ill-mannered and miserable. So I told him why. He reckons paying taxes allows him to walk his dogs on a nature reserve causing any amount of damage (his words). So does that argument mean we can all go around vandalising any amount of public property we care to. Why not, we pay for it.
Odd that a total stranger would try to wind me up, must be a friend of Max or perhaps have been born in Scunthorpe
Oddly enough I was talking to one of our members at Worlaby today, and happened to mention to him that there doesn't seem so much winding-up of late, we both laughed.
Dipper, I thought you already knew that some birdwatchers cannot help being miserable, it's a way of life for them.
I have heard it said, that some are ignorant. As an example, one birder I know spoke to another wishing them a good afternoon etc, the person in question walked straight past them as though they didn't exist. The birder I know told me in Anglo Saxon language what he thought of that person, suffice to say I had to agree, there is no excuse for not being courteous
Did you take a photo of dog-man? If not why not, then if and when we came across him we could also give him five-pennorth
.
If I hadn't been at Worlaby, could always have said it was me in disguise complete with padding
It's a pity you cannot put on here what you said to dog-man
