3 lanes on the freeway.

1 fckwit in each lane next to each other.

Each fckwit doing 10 km/h below the speed limit.

Oooh...what's that ? A speed camera.

3 fckwits hit their brakes simultaneously.

Fck fck fck fck fck fck.

Perhaps the fckwits from Top Gear Australia were filming

I got swooped by one the other week , when I was going for a run , I had an mental image of me lying on the road with a magpie pecking at my lifeless body , not really how I pictured myself going .

Wear a mask backwards or draw some eyes on the back of your hoody. I bet they stop swooping you.

I think it's telling you that you need deportment lessens, walk with a book on your head.

Take a tennis racquet with you. He swoops, you swing, one of you is losing.

I like magpies, love their songs. We feed them, they bring their babies when they fledge and it's all good. I have not been swooped since I was about 13, that's a long time ago. There's a swoopy one down the road a bit, not one of the crew we feed, that gives people a bit of a hard time including my wife but it seems to like me and won't swoop me, or my wife if I'm with her. Dunno why, I don't feed them as their territory is not our house. I do whistle, mimic their song, when I see them though.

Just carry long sticks that stick our over your head. It's better than the eyes. Saw a thing on Facebook where a Milburn radio station tried the sticks and eyes. Sticks worked. Eyes on helmet didn't.
Edit: Sticks stopped the magpie hitting the host. Eyes were being hit hard. Lucky she had a helmet.

If you keep looking at the magpie, it will NOT swoop.
The moment you take your eyes off them........watch out!!!!
They're bloody cowards and will only swoop when you're not looking at them.

Anyway.......
That bloody "Dancing With The Stars" song and dance advertisement,
really does my head in.
Mind you, the Chicky Babes are good value.
