My loathing for seagulls has been well documented (here, for example), so when I saw this little snippet, I was mightily pleased, oh yes I was:
A blue plaque has been installed to commemorate a man made famous – for swearing at seagulls.
The honour was cheekily bestowed on Huw Davies – who was renowned for shooing the pesky birds away with expletives.
Huw, from Aberystwyth in Wales, was previously honored with a joke plaque on his favourite bench when he passed away.
And the new one (which is not as funny because OMG swearwords doubleplusungood):
I wish that I could achieve such fame, for so trivial a cause.
I suspect that
Kim du Toit
Used to sit here and shout
FUCK OFF!!! at authority figures
would be tripleplusungood, even though it’s a very accurate summation of my lifelong attitude.
But yet, we persevere.
