I got pooped on by a bird a couple of days ago. It is supposed to be lucky. I didn’t feel lucky!

God no, I wouldn’t either! Would you believe I have never actually been pooed on by a bird?! Am touching wood and crossing fingers as I write this. There are loads of seagulls outside where I work and loads of my colleagues have been spectacularly shat on.
