There’s been huge excitement across the Beans Network since the Seagull Competition was launched, and rightly so. Collating the entries, producing a shortlist and selecting a winner has taken a bit longer than expected, because of the difficulties of tracking down the exact seagull that was photographed in Llandudno in 2017 and then getting it to pay some attention to the competition entries.
Right now we have the seagull tagged, and all the entries laid out neatly on the pier, and we’re waiting for it to fly back down to a bag of chips we’ve enticingly dumped on the floor so we can get it to pick a winner.
In the meantime, here are all the entries, so that you can fully appreciate the wide range of views the entrants had about what might be passing through the mind of a Welsh seagull.

Number five for the win!
Although the real winner is Chris for stretching this out to a whole three posts. Well done, sir!
Thanks! It’s a skill, of a kind.
It’s a lesson we can all learn, and I have learned, and hopefully Kev will learn if he can get out from under all those heavy napkins every once in a while.
Kev’s done learning now. He’s too busy being a dad, passing on all he’s learned to Changlets I and II. They’ll be experts in plastering, rendering and pelmets very soon.
He’ll be the first to implement a toddler’s group where, instead of learning how to play and have fun, they’re given a duster and a can of Pledge, and taught how to buff the mantlepiece to sheen.
I think that is an important contribution to society, even if you don’t, with your mocking attitude and your unbuffed woodwork.
If it wasn’t for me (m-me) then the world wouldn’t know about buffing to sheen.
You’re welcome by the way.
Regardless of Ian’s unkempt woodwork (whaaaaay.. what?) are we ever going to get a winner of this epic competition? Is it being saved as a reserve post in case you’re short of your quota?
To answer those questions in turn, 1. yes we are, and 2. yes it is. That’s how you earn a bean every month: stringing it out.
String of beans?
Exactly. Then it’ll run and run.
Runner beans.
So when do we get to find… I mean when do I get to find out who’s won? It’s the 20th March tomorrow you know.
It IS, isn’t it?
Soon, is the answer. Soon. (When I’ve decided what the prize is.)
Soon is a good number but it’s a better word (what?)
How soon is now?
Oddly, given that Mozza was so interested in it, Now is not Soon at all, because soon is always later than now and now can never be soon.
Bastards! Bastards!
