A big fat pigeon waddled into my tea shop about half an hour ago (he is too fat to fly) and sat himself in the corner and seems perfectly happy just relaxing to the Bob Marley I have playing. I tried to shoo him but he just gave me a look as if to say 'chill Winston' and as you can see the trail of biscuit crumbs (fig & almond cantucci biscuits) leading to the door has no effect. Should i just let reggae pigeon be? He is currently enjoying no woman no cry.

u have wasted your life becoming a ghoulish parody of british ppl

True but as flattered as i am in your interest in my life this is not about me this is about reggae pigeon. I may try other flavours of biscuits, i really thought he'd go for them.

Update: he is now chilling to 'jammin', a workmate came in and said i should call the RSPB (royal society for the protection of birds) but what kind of a man would i be if i cant shoo a pigeon.

Update: I solved the pigeon situation by putting on some of my bad Swedish folk music and he pretty much wtf'd and walked out the shop. He went into an empty marquis opposite the shop and is still there. I think a previous poster is right he came into the shop to die, and now he's gone there to die instead. RIP reggae pigeon.

Thanks for asking. Theyre a band called first aid kit, a couple of pretty tasty sisters from Sweden. Check out the songs Emmy-Lou and Wolf Mother.

Oh my god everything you enjoy is so boring, I bet you are just the worst in bed.

On the contrary i know many new and interesting moves such as the chimney sweep, the french tickler and the jammy dodger.

what the poo poo is a "tea" "shop"?

We sell loose leaf teas. On tasting today we have a mango and bergamot green tea.

Update: on the way to work today I saw reggae pigeon in a doorway. He wasn't moving.

how do you know it was the same pigeon??

The doorway is a stones throw from the shop plus he had the same shade of grey and girth. I just hope he's jammin up in pigeon heaven.

Bergamot is the same flower that gives earl grey its flavour. I don't really care for it myself.

all the pigeon wanted was no more pain and instead some rear end in a top hat who thinks it's lol to say 'chill winston' made this bad thread about it

Tell me something my old chum, how are you enjoying life in England, you mentioned earlier you are over here at the moment? Starting to warm to its charms?

so what's the status on the pigeon

I'll have a look when i pop on my lunch but I'm thinking still dead so it depends if the council have cleaned him away most likely.

I think you should practice your amateur taxidermy on Reggae Pigeon so you can have the stuffed winged-rat to talk to any time you want.

Or pickle him and stick him in a jar for the ghost hunters to find perhaps.

Made a tribute video, hoping it will help people come to terms with his passing.

No sorry we just sell the tea to buy loose (and coffee) bettys is funny though its so over the top traditional British afternoon tea service, the tourists love it and queue around the block and as such its overpriced as hell.
