A British magpie named Thatcher has been banned from his regular Pub The clever bird enjoyed drinking lager so much he would steal it from patrons - and sometimes attack their kids - and squawk angrily if not given his beer. Yes, this post is both a weird animal story and about beer - subjects very close to my heart. This link also contains a picture of a guy drinking a pint - be warned - may cause thirstiness

Now they lock the bird in a linen cupboard until the nasty people go away - then they give him treats. Awwww! How ky00t. Hmm. I quite fancy a pint.

  • 'Tis the syme the 'ole world over, It's the bird wot gets the blime, Wiv the tavern keeper shouting, Peckin' kiddies is a crime!
  • At last! It's beer o'clock!
  • O drunky birds, O drunky drunky, Replace my beer, You little cunties*.
  • It's beer o'clock, And all is well, I drank some beer, And down I fell. I rose again, And drank summore, And here I lie, Upon the floor.
  • Whose bar this is I think I know, His mug is hung in Borstal, so He will not see me lying here Among the taps and bottled beer. This floor is lovely, cold and hard, But I have Guinesses to drink, And quarts to down before I'll stink And quarts to down before I'll stink
