A couple of weeks ago I picked up a customer's car from his house in Woodley. The knob across the road from this house had an earthenware dish the size of a dustbin lid piled up with chicken legs. Feeding bloody Red Kites. What a fucking racket and yards of shit on everything. Apparently the neighbours hate it.
Edit: Give me buzzards any day of the week though. -

They’ve been known to take food from people’s hands too. Basically just an inland seagull.
Edit: there are actually lots of seagulls which live inland and have never seen the sea.

Near Stockport? I'd go with my camera if so!

Presumably near Reading - my parents are there and whenever they get guests they're amazed at how many red kits there are. Get a bit annoying after a while though.

Get to fuck. Red Kites are beautiful birds. I recall seeing a pair not long after their reintroduction near High Wycombe while out on my bike, and I was smitten.
Buzzards are flying barn doors, Kites are elegant, and they’re protected too. Mind you, people really shouldn’t be feeding them like that.

There's only one way to feed Red Kites (and Buzzards)
Well worth a visit btw, great cycling around the area too.

Fan theories, or more specifically the kind of fandom that constantly tries to guess what’s going to happen when a trailer comes out, or that tries to somehow “solve” certain plot points with elaborate constructions.
It really winds me up for something that has little or no actual effect on my life.

Familiy members who think it's your responsibility to remember their fucking passwords for everything.
pretty sure I spend more time resetting their password using the standard "forgot my password" links than I do talking to some of them.

I like plenty of juvenile stuff some would consider way below my "acceptable age range" but when I see anyone use words like "headcannon" in a serious context all I see in my minds eye is a 4 year old playing with toys with their imaginary friend.

In defence of 'headcanon': I am old, and dislike jargon, buzzwords and new words being coined when perfectly good ones exist already.
However, I came across this term very recently and thought it was a neat way of describing how one's personal interpretation of a narrative/subtext may overlay the author's intention, or be maintained even when the author later adds material which contradicts, or provides a 'definitive' reading.
I don't know much about literary criticism, but I would have thought there would have been examples as soon as some medieval scholar found that the later chapters of a manuscript had been eaten by rats en voyage from Alexandria.

Usually a sign of emotional immaturity or just low empathy. The end of the film Arrival, for instance, has a very intense emotional message, but to several whole classes of geek that's either too trivial to be really important or just invisible to them, so they go off looking for "clues" in trivial details of the film and come up with complex constructions that rival Qanon for their level of delusional and demented invention. Because the idea that the film could be about love and loss doesn't compute. I really liked that film, so I'd not be polite to that kind of fan dragging that kind of shit into it.
And built loads of cities on the coast where they already b chillin'
