You have to be a bit careful not to antagonise puffins, Mark. They're tough little bastards and they don't put up with much nonsense - you can tell by the way most of them talk out of the corner of their beaks, without removing their cigar. I once heard about a kittiwake who wouldn't give Don Fraterculone a share of the sand eel concessions on Rockall. Next morning he woke up and there was a seahorse's head in his nest. And then this one time, the local seals were having a lot of trouble with dolphins trying to muscle in on their territory, eating all the fish, as if it isn't difficult enough already to make a living. So a group of them, they go and speak to Don Fraterculone, they say "Codfather - these dolphins, we want to be friends but who can be friends when they're eating all the herring? Codfather, you've always been good to us in the past, and we've always repaid your friendship - can you help us?". The Don knocked the ash of the end of his cigar - genuine Cuban seaweed - and leaned forward (but not so far forward he'd topple off the cliff). "You're a good man Vitulina, a good man even though you have no ears. You look after your wives, your children. So I want to help you. I'm going to talk to this dolphin, this big fish. I'll make him an otter he can't refuse"...
