lol.
I know of a few cities in the US that have brought in falcons to control the pigeon population. In the city where I work, there's a very large hawk population, and it's not unusual to see them swoop down and grap a pigeon every now and then.

The hawks don't need to be controlled. Once they can no longer find food here, they just move on to another feeding ground. It's not like they'll start attacking people because they're out of pigeons.

Well...they might. You build up the numbers of Hawks in an urban area and pretty soon you have flocks of hungry killers with no fear of man. Working together they could easily take down a child.

I suppose this is true in theory, but the hawks aren't being brought here, they just come on their own. I also don't think hawks work together as you suggest they might.

Not in their natural environment, no of course not. But they have been driven to an unnaturally high population density in an artificial environment. Should the pigeon population crash there is no telling what they might do.

We have loads of hawks in this area as well. Coming home from Philly one day, there was one sitting on a lamp post. Luckily the exit I was taking was empty, as I couldn't keep my eyes off of it. They are too cool.
We also have turkey vultures, which are terribly ugly and huge. There was one a couple of months ago around the corner from me eating some sort of road kill. Here's a photo:
edit to say: I didn't take this photo! I wish I had my camera on me for the bird I saw looked bigger than what's in this person's picture.

In other pigeon news... below is a picture taken by my girlfriend of a pigeon that had the misfortune of flying into her office last week. In its haste, it failed to notice that there was actually glass located within the window frame that it chose for its plucky, apparently over-zealous escape, resulting in a rather sinister scene.

It's not been set up, if that's what you mean. I downloaded it straight from her mobile. Someone's suggested sending it to Nuts for £200 or something...

last night I was at the National Theatre having a drink because the bar at the NFT was full of *****, and I thought that the sign above the bar said "Cakes and Onions", but that was just because I was sitting at the wrong angle. I'm trying to remember what it actually said. Maybe "coffee".

they also had one of those Dyson hand dryers in the bogs. Those things are quite effective, I thought to myself, after drying my hands.

I wouldn't discount that possiblilty. In fact, it could well have done. I just don't know for sure. On the other hand, it could have said something else. Again, I'm not certain.

Quick Question: If you were a generously endowed, good looking woman and you decided to take up jogging, would you wear a support bra, or, at the very least, a bra? Thing is, there's a woman who fits this description who jogs up the very busy road that I take to work (not literally, of course) every morning. Today, she was wearing a skin-tight, white shirt and her large nipples were like bullets, her breasts bouncing magnificently. Is she just doing this for the attention or is there a genuine reason for this shameless, yet at the same time delightful plan of action?

she probably hoping that you're going to follow her home, wait outside her flat, and then break in once she's gone to sleep and kneed them.

Although I doubt that she does want me to do that. She might just be allergic to bras, or something. Or her breasts might be too tender to cope with the restraining qualities of bras. I just don't know. I really don't. It certainly helps me get out of bed quicker in the morning, though.

You might want to draw this website (here) to her attention...
Could you let us know the exact amount of bounceage you've witnessed by reference to the bounceometer settings? I feel we should be told, for illustration purposes only of course.

When selecting the 'FF & G' and 'Extreme' options, the movement is fairly similar, barring the fact that the boobs used for the bounce-o-meter look fake. This woman's are natural and offer more leniency in the bouncing stakes.
Unfortunately I didn't see her this morning, much to my disdain. I must have just missed her as I was running a little late today. I will endeavour to obtain footage tomorrow morning, should the opportunity arise.
