    Does anybody actually believe this ****?



    A Canadian man has fought off a 320lb (145kg) black bear with skills he learned from years as a boxer.

    Rick Nelson, 61, from Ontario was walking his dog when a cub poked its head out of a shrub. Moments later, its mother charged out of the bushes and attacked.

    He fought off the mother bear with his bare fists, walking away with just minor scratches on his face and chest.

    The Canadian forestry ministry says that attacks by black bears are rare.

    After several swings from Mr Nelson, the bear walked away from the fight with a bloody nose.

    Mr Nelson said: "It just turned back around and walked away like nothing ever happened and followed the cub. So I really lucked out there."

    Despite his encounter, Mr Nelson told a Canadian broadcaster that he did not want people to fear black bears.

    The Government of Ontario says black bears usually avoid contact with humans.

    I don't believe this man but I think a quick boxer could do a bear on mobility. Ducking and dodging. I think the hand speed could do enough to deter a bear too but never going to hurt it. But it said he had minor scratches to his face. Surely if a fully grown black bear scratches your face you're scared for life. So I think the story is bollocks but in theory it's possible.

    Mr Nelson is a bullshiter me thinks.

    Black bears do a quick attack and look for a retreat, it's a case of mothers protection. Mr Nelson is probably outside now putting his christmas tree light up and humming Billy Joel's worst ever song..<ok>

    Darlington...

    A bus has crashed into the front of a bank on a busy high street, killing one person and injuring two others.

    An eyewitness said there had been two people trapped under the vehicle which has hit a Halifax branch in Darlington.

    The driver of the bus, a 52-year-old man, has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving.

    The North East Ambulance Service has three crews at the scene, including a hazardous area response team, trauma paramedics and a helicopter.

    See live updates and latest developments on the crash.

    Eyewitnesses have described the accident, just before 11:00 BST, as "horrendous".

    John Dodsworth said: "It's all gone crazy in town. Someone said a lady was under the bus."

    A force spokesman said: "The bus left the road - we don't know why - and has crashed into a Halifax."

    County Durham and Darlington Fire and Rescue said it could not confirm if the injured people were pedestrians or bus passengers.

    The Great North Air Ambulance said medics treated a woman, believed to be in her 50s, for a serious lower leg injury.

    Shops near to the crash, between the Northgate and Crown Street junctions, have been closed and police officers are moving bystanders.

    A road closure is in place from St. Cuthbert's Way roundabout to Crown Street. A pedestrian cordon is also in force from Marks and Spencer to the pedestrian zone at the top of Crown Street.

    A little self control, by the police, would be a good start.

    I don't know how to describe it, it's like racism but it doesn't stop at white cops hating on black people, black police do it as well. It's like it's part of 'police code' or something.

    The police are rarely made accountable which will only make the public more angry and violent.

    I remember the last time it kicked off over there a few years ago, wowee was that bad.
    There was one white fella got dragged out of his truck and just shot, all caught on camera, totally shocked me the brutality of it.
    A few years later the driver actually met up with his would be killer and forgave him? Big man to do that, don't know if i could.
