annanotbob2's Diaryland Diary ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It's only words Daughter and I sat on the beach this afternoon in the warm sunshine and she fed nuts to a gang of crows that she said had become her friends. I know the word for a gang of crows is said to be a murder, a murder of crows, but to be honest I think most of those words are bollocks. I mean, we do say a herd of cows and a flock of seagulls but the rest of them are just quiz answers rather than part of the language that people use. We have loads of crows round here and talk about them quite a bit as they're interesting. They only live on very particular stretches of the beach and sometimes do seem to be taking the piss out of the seagulls, but I've never heard anybody refer to them as a murder. An unkindness of ravens, a parliament of owls - just fuck off with that crap. Speaking of which, did you see that that fucker changed the rules? The rules by which he should have resigned, but now he doesn't have to. This is beyond anything. Real scary shit. No stopping him no matter what he does. 12:41 a.m. - 28.05.22 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
