They are nut jobs.

It's hardly fun being chased through narrow lanes by a ****ing bull, yet thousands turn up and take part <doh>

I was shocked to hear bullfighting is shown live on tv in Spain.

It's a truly awful story, most of his family and many thousands of kids must have been watching.

I'm surprised it doesn't happen more often to be honest, standing in front of an enraged half ton animal and getting killed.
 
Newcastle's Tottenham transfer target Georginio Wijnaldum ready to BEG to get Champions League move.

But they have no intention of meeting the relegated Magpies £25 million asking price.

113 years old. Wow what an innings. So many tales to share.

Who has been the oldest person you have known?

My greatnana lasted till 101 and her daughter (my nana) is still going at 92.

Ended up slightly deaf so was transferred to the Land Army and eventiually settled in Norwich. I still speak to her occasionally and she thinks I am my Dad and we chat about Burma.
