jim_supra Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 Poor Swan. So, he was hungry, decided to grab a knife travel down to the park and kill a swan so he could eat it? yeah right. Edit: I'm not being sarcastic about the swan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbourner Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 OMG: Jim Neary, prosecuting, said: "When interviewed he said, 'I was hungry, I had to eat the swan so I killed it, I stabbed it. I did nothing wrong, it was just a bird, I needed to eat.'" "The officers told him the swan was the property of the Queen and he replied, 'I hate the Queen, I hate this country.'"

Kranz Posted November 24, 2006 Share Posted November 24, 2006 All swans, unless specifically marked by notches in their beak, belong to the Queen so I believe. Those with the notch in their beak on the right belong to Dyers and swans with a notch on both sides of their beak belong to Vintners.
