Brighton Warnings Or Dangers Tips by mel_bee

I haven't experienced anything really dangerous in Brighton (and hope I never will) but thought you would be amused with this story about my toes (and ears).
I was sitting on a bench, reading a university book in Queen's Park when out of the corner of my eye I spotted a rather large object working its way closer to me....
....as the seagull drew nearer I noticed an inquistive look in its eye. It slanted its head from one side to the other, trying to work me out....
....then walked up to me, opened its beak and grabbed my foot!!
I told it off in what I thought would be an adequate seagull stopping way and returned to my book. After a moment, I peered down and it looked at me once more, head to both sides, pausing in between and then attacked my toes again! This time I shouted NO and gave it the sort of glare I learnt whilst teaching naughty children. It stopped and walked away disappointedly to a space about 5 metres away. From there it spent the next half an hour giving me looks which ranged between latent aggression and conscience stricken guilt - completely putting me off the complex theory behind human rights but amusing me at the same time.
Eventually I decided to move to another bench. So I chose one which was sheltered by bushes from behind and on the path away from curious seagulls. Happily I read my book but...
...I heard a strange noise behind me, then I felt a strange furry wetness on my ear...
.....Visions of wild animals raced through my head and I nearly fell off the bench out of surprise, but then a little dog with a ball in its mouth bounded over my shoulder and ran onto the grass. Don't worry shouted its owner he only wanted to play....
From now on I study in the University library!!
