  1. I might travel across and take part next year myself. My dad always said I was a bit of a gannet.

  2. To be fair to him, that’s a fucking good seagull impression.

  3. This is the content I need.

    He really does have that down pat.

  4. >The EC Gull Screeching competition is held every year in an attempt to change the image of seagulls, which some people see as a nuisance.

    Not sure it’s making the slightest difference to my feeling about seagulls

  5. The headline and image are great alone, but the added context that he travelled to Belgium for the competition and the punchline of the judges revealing their scores… this is art

  6. The BBC has more:

    >Cooper took his lucky mascot with him – a small model seagull which he calls Stephen and his spells with a “ph”, but his parents call Steven Seagull, like the actor Steven Seagal.

  7. The bird sound is good, he could have jazzed it up by stealing someone’s food then shitting on them.

  8. I’ve always thought seagulls sound like a human doing an impression of a seagull, more than the noise an actual bird would make.

  9. This is exactly the sort of nonsense that I love. The fact this competition exists at all, the officiousness of it with multiple judges, the fact a child travelled overseas to compete and absolutely smashed it.

    You can see how the presenter’s face changes when he realises this kid is the real deal, he’s not a tourist wandering in, he’s here for business, and business is good!

    Cooper for Young sports personality of year award.

  10. Is the bloke on the left wearing a skirt or is this some seagull related costume?
