The national association for birds that take laxatives to relieve constipation issues held its annual conference in a tree above where I parked my car in downtown Charleston on Friday night.
I had to drive around in it – including going to a funeral on Saturday – before I got a chance to clean it. And the photo doesn’t really do it justice … it looked much worse in person, and it was splattered all down the offside of the car as well … yuk.
I started my blog as a continuation of the daily write-up that I did when I got 500 people to give me 50p so that I could buy an iPod.
There's a lot of tube related stuff on this site due to me being a former World Record Holder for travelling around the entire network (275 stations) in the fastest time possible back in May 2004.
After living in London for the first 33 years of my life and working for the BBC News website I moved to Charleston, South Carolina in the USA in May 2006 for three and a half years before moving back to England and back to work for the BBC in November 2009.
So for ten weeks in June, July and August 2009, I drove 20,000 miles around the the lower 48 contiguous states of the USA visiting towns and places that shared the same name as places on The London Tube Map.

All I can say is: Oh “c r a p”!
Allow me to tell a joke: What do you do if a bird c**ps on your car?Don’t take her out again!
That’s not a ford focus zetec is it geoff? I am having problems with mine, and apprently it happens to US ford focus’ as well.
I worked down near Charleston a few years ago on a previous job. The darn things crapped right on my head…. nastiest thing you’ve ever seen.
We’ve all had it happen to us, mate… here in the UK, when our Blackberries come
into season, it’s not unusual to think your car’s been spray painted with purple
emulsion paint if you make the same mistake as you did above.
Thanks though for giving me a laugh on a day I really needed one, with the way you
wrote this up.
That’s the trouble with living near the sea, those blooming seagulls make a noisy racket and poo on your car. Made me laugh too! You’d better start carrying wet-wipes in your glove-box.
It IS a focus, but it’s not a Zetec, nope. just a bog standard bottom of the range Focus with nothing fancy. I have managed to break the latch on the boot [trunk] already though which is annoying.
Blackberries? Oh. i thought immediately of a handheld communication device, and second to the fruits that grow on bushes. How times change…
