The madman

My good friend Bob, he's an owner driver, who does occasional work for us and also a fellow biker (and Ducati owner).

I could write a book on his musings. I'm sure he isn't of this planet, well he definately doesn't dress like he belongs here! Loud trousers, daft bandanas and a rather OTT fitness regime!

He is studying Pigeons, whilst out driving. He has noticed that a wood pigeon will take off from a field/tree/fence at the side of the motorway, and if flying across the motorway, a large vehicle comes along, the pigeon will change direction and head in the opposite way! Now he has noticed phesants do not do this. They will take off, adjust their course over the vehicle and continue the way they set off from. I have noticed gulls do this also, set off, fly across a road and adjust their course to continue their way! But pigeons, no! They don't care, they just fly around and don't mind where they go! So, how did pigeons become part of the communication system?? Something else to study!

Bobs thought of the day;

"Garrats Green is a shit hole. If you left a pitbull tied up there, it would be jacked up and its legs would be stolen!"
