I panicked. The swan had reared up on it's hind legs and was coming at me.
Let me get this right ...
a FOUR legged swan and you were riding a tandem and had an altercation over some corned beef sandwiches?
and before you know it, a whole gang of genetically modified swans appeared and sided with your erstwhile cycling companion?
Wow!!!
Where's this park you were in? I must avoid that place ... and I thought the squirrels round here were tough, armed with their flick-knives and mugging old ladies for their pensions
me too, especially as I read in a pedalo first time round
I sometimes go and take photos of swans at a countryside park near my home, I read somewhere that instead of bread you should give them leafy greens so I took along a bag of tesco's finest garden salad, after flinging some lettuce at them in the water I waited expectantly with my camera to take photos of happy swans instead I got huffy swans swimming as fast as they could to the other side of the lake where little kids were waiting with bread bags full of sliced dry white tesco's cheapest
Sorry to hear that.
This swan I had a set-to with today soon lost interest in me and went after a girl with an ice cream.
Well after he chased me across the bandstand, I quickly slipped an attendant a fiver to let me go in a pedalo.
Was making my way across the lake in the centre of the park - turned back and the swan was still coming at me! (not in a pedalo)
Best image ever, I fed swans once (emphasis on once) they are right lairy b*stards, when I ran out of bread they came out of the water quite menacingly

No I meant when the swan got on top of me and we sort of started wrestling - we rolled down the embankment.
The other swans must have been waiting on the other side of the lake by the icecream stand adjacent to the tennis courts.
I think so, they aren't stupid - they either go in the water waiting for bread or congregate by the ice cream stall.
I think I was just unlucky as I had put tangy sauce on the corned beef and where I was sitting atop the embankment looking down over the lake - the swan must have smelt it.
So you had this Benny Hill style chase around the park fighting with a swan. You then gathered some other swans in a mob train and then did a Leroy Jenkins on some poor mother and her child.

hind legs??, I have never yet seen a four legged swan
Correct. Give that poster a coconut!

dumped for a Mr Whippy, that is depressing:(
I meant it's back legs. Well just it's legs under it's wings.
You are flaming useless :mad:
I wish the swan had eaten Rogelio :mad:

It was an ambush then???
Crafty little beggars these swans
We can still arrange something??
I'm doing it all again tomorrow, one day I WILL be sitting outside that Parisian cafe.

Possibly although he did keep motioning towards my rucksack too.
Swanning about?
Yep, that's the perfect way to describe it.
Woah! Impressive. It had 4 legs?
Killer Swans :eek:
Is that you, Mr P. I. Staker?
How very perceptive of you.
