And I don't believe in raccoons, or mutual funds, or Budweiser,
but it's not really up to me to decide, now is it?

There's at least one seagull sitting in Cartwright Gardens right now
that would beg to differ. I think he's saying "I squawk, therefore
I am".

Aha! So that's why I've been seeing the buggers pecking at puddles
of spilled diesel.

Maybe that is also why my mother always insisted that there were good
birds and bad birds.

More likely "I squawk, therefore I'm having your chips."

No, really. No such thing.

It may have been a Herring Gull, or a Black Backed Gull.

Sounds a bit hipsterish.

The Royal Oak on Tabard Street, near Borough station, does a decent pint of Harveys.

If you're staying East, then the Lahore on Umberston Street does some of the best meat this side of, well, actual Lahore.

Actually, there are, just as there are land gulls. You can see those at
the Great Salt Lake, for example, over 800 miles from the sea.

barrow boy commuters, tourists and ner' do wells.

I was mistaken. It was actually "Moor Revival Best/Pale, 3.5%
ABV". Sort of citrusy and eminently drinkable, although I switched
to the Dean Smith Belgian Pilsner for my last two. Had a not bad at
all Iberian Ham sand-wedge on a baguette.

We left before the Brexidiot across the room got too loud for
comfort (the publican did come around to apologize to us, not that
we needed it). Guy was blathering on about "that cunt Khan" and "if
you come here, the speed limit signs are in miles/hour, not km/hour"
and similar little Britain nonsense.

Same problem :-)

"The English title for the play The Seagull is a potentially misleading
translation of the title from its original Russian. Although the words
"gull" and "seagull" are often used interchangeably in English, the text
of the play makes no mention of the sea and is set on an estate
somewhere in the inland regions of central Russia or Ukraine. The
titular gull in question was likely meant by Chekov to be a black-headed
gull or common gull. A more exact translation of the title would thus be
The Gull, as the word "seagull" could erroneously evoke maritime
connotations when no such imagery was intended by the playwright."
