To throw water over a pigeon I've just spray painted?

Stay with me.

Just started to spray paint a fence panel, must have startled poor pidge behind fence as it flapped up maniacally. I had a bit of a scream...whilst holding spray trigger.

Pidge is now half 'oak brown', sitting in tree. Can't quite tell if he's ok, not giving much away with facial expression.

Have googled "accidentally painted a pigeon" with disappointingly unresourceful results.

So, should i just chuck water at it & hope it comes off?? Turps would seem a little extreme.

Not by me he ain't Shock Grin

I'm quite enjoying the surrealness of David Dickinson being mixed in this thread. Someone mentioned if he could fly off he's probably ok. Now expecting to see David Dickinson feeding off my bird table.

Shudder

He looks a bit shocked to me

threeineachlobe · 04/05/2012 14:49

Oh no AnAirOfHope - do you think there'll be some revenge strike? Am i going to be sytematically pooed on by Pauls's friends and relatives? Will I live in a Hitcock nightmare??

Paul's still there.

Guilty and scared.

I wonder if he'll fly off to join the dog that got thrown up on the other day?

AgentZigzag · 04/05/2012 14:52

crowface · 04/05/2012 14:53

Oh I missed the dog thread. My husband once pee'd in one of our dogs' eyes though.

Petsinmypudenda · 04/05/2012 14:54

crowface - you must explain how

crowface · 04/05/2012 14:54

*Accidentally. Obviously. Blimey

crowface · 04/05/2012 14:58

Haha, he was marking his territory (every time we walk the dogs it seems that hubby needs to pee) and one of our dogs is rather nosey and went to see what he was up to and ran in front of the stream as it were. I don't know who was more shocked tbh.

StepAwayFromTheEcclesCakes · 04/05/2012 14:58

you should be fine cos everyone goes to Pauls to poo.

ILikeTrains · 04/05/2012 14:58

can't stop laughing at that....poor dog

PandaWatch · 04/05/2012 15:00

I've been trying so hard not to snort with laughter reading this but crowface has done me in! Grin

threeineachlobe · 04/05/2012 15:01

Right, Paul moved branches.

Good sign that he can move, but bad sign if he wanted to move further (away from trigger-happy ol' me) but couldn't because he's covered in feckin paint.

Yes I laughed rather a lot at the time. It was something in her bemused expression...

redrubyshoes · 04/05/2012 15:01

Ask it if the product does exactly what is says on the tin?

PandaWatch · 04/05/2012 15:02

Exactly how much of Paul has been David Dickinson'd? Can you take a picture?

This has to be one of the best threads of the year, the title alone should qualify it for classics.

hairylemon · 04/05/2012 15:04

I spilled poo

CaptainHetty · 04/05/2012 15:06

The acronym 'PMPL' has never seemed so apt right now. After 3 children and at 4 months pregnant it's beginning to seem a distinct possibility.

Poor Paul...

:o

hairylemon · 04/05/2012 15:07

Gah stupid phone.

I spilled poo on our dog only last week. Was emptying Ds's shit filled potty into the loo and it splashed back onto the dogs face. She didn't speak to me for ages

ILikeTrains · 04/05/2012 15:09

Thank God for that Hairy...I seriously assumed you'd gone one step beyond from pmsl!
