The 'Running of the Bulls' is a practice that involves ordinary people
running in front of bulls that have been released on a set course through the
town's streets which have been cordoned off.
The most famous of these is held in Pamplona [Navarre], northern Spain at the
festival of San Fermín between the 6th and 14th of July. Others fiestas are held in
the towns and villages throughout Spain and indeed, in southern France, in
places such as Bayonne.
In this first picture you can observe the bulls from the safety of being
behind a strong metal fence.
The second photo, however, shows a couple of men who have taken no such
safety precautions.
The fellow on the ground is certainly taking his life in his hands and is
hoping that the bull cannot see him. It is a picture of which we can easily ask
the question, 'What happened next?'

Winner of Will and Guy 'Loser Competition'
This month's best loser has to be Mr Joshua Mullen from Mobile, Alabama, USA.
Finding that his shed had a nest of bees living in it you will find it hard to
believe how he attempted to get rid of them.
Mr Mullen soaked some towels in gasoline [petrol] and placed them carefully
in the shed in order to remove the bees. However, the shed erupted in flames
with a loud 'whoosh'. It appears that the fire started when the pilot light of a
hot-water heater in the shed ignited fumes from the petrol.
This picture is not of the actual blaze in Mobile:
The fire caused some $80,000 [almost £41,000] worth of damage but luckily nobody
was hurt in the conflagration. We have heard that Mr Mullen told reporters,
'Looking at all this, there might have been a better way. It was a mistake. I
wish I hadn't done it, but I did.'
However, we can report that it did rid the shed of the bees!
Here we have the 'cool' band on the 'hot' Nissan Qashqai car
The Nissan Qashqai Car
Much research goes into naming cars, and the Nissan Qashqai is no exception.
This amazing video is one of the best of the modern generation of fun
advertising video clips. Check out the
funny video of the Nissan
Qashqai car.
Will and Guy think that the above $200 fine is a bit steep - under the circumstances.
My Beer Is Too Strong Moans Man
Iancu Boroi purchased a single can of beer at his local supermarket only to
find it rendered him totally incapable and drunk.
Will and Guy have learned that he nearly passed out after consuming the lone
drink. We find it difficult to believe that he then complained to the local
trading standards officer in Arges, southern Romania, and he is demanding
compensation from the beer manufacturers claiming, ‘There must have been
something wrong with it........ I am more than capable of holding my drink and
it is ridiculous to think one can of beer can get me so drunk.’
We think that he should be looking at the money he has saved rather than
asking for compensation.

Going back in history to 1702, moles were responsible for
the death of King William III (William of Orange). What happened was
the king was out riding, and his horse stumbled over a molehill. Three
weeks later the king was dead as a result of injuries sustained during his
fall.
Rumour: The collective name for a group pandas is a pandamonium.
In the Sundarbans region of Bangladesh, locals realize that tigers
attack only from behind, thus if they have to go into the mangrove swamp,
then a mask on the BACK of their head really does offer protection from
tiger attacks. See

Molly Aged 103
Journalists were interviewing Molly Holderness, a 103-year-old woman, 'Tell
us, Mrs Holderness, what do you think is the best thing about being 103?' the
reporter asked.
Molly smiled and looked straight at the reporter and simply replied, 'No peer
pressure.'
Iris Aged 67
As told to us by Iris Belmont, aged 67:
'I feel like my body has gotten totally out of shape, so I got my doctor's
permission to join a fitness club and start exercising. I decided to take an
aerobics class for pensioners [seniors]. I bent, twisted, gyrated, jumped up and
down, and perspired for an hour. But, by the time I got my leotard on, the class
was over.'
On the bus Paddy got chatting to Murphy who was carrying a bag on his back
'What's
in the bag?'
asked Paddy 'I'm not going to tell', replied Murphy
'Go on, do.'
pleaded Paddy. 'Ah, all right then, it's
ducks.'
announced Murphy
'If I guess how many ducks you have in the bag, will you give me one of them?'
enquired Paddy 'Look', said Murphy, 'If you guess the correct number,
I'll give you both of them.'
This week's loser is an absolute cracker say Will and Guy. Picture the scene:
an idyllic bar in a quiet area of Sydney, Australia.
Then a group of masked thieves rush in attempting to rob the Regents Park
Bowling and Recreation Club. They come charging into the bar wielding
machetes and samurai swords and shouting at the customers to lie on the floor.
Unknown to the robbers is that in an adjoining room to the bar a 50 strong
biker gang is holding its monthly meetings. Imagine the prospective
burglars horror when the bike gang, seeing their pub being invaded, turn their
anger on the robbers.
The bikers, belonging to the Southern Cross Cruiser Club, chased one robber
away: he had to smash his way out through a locked glass door, leap off a 16
foot balcony to make his escape.
Southern Cross Cruiser Club* president, Jerry Van Cornewal aka Jester,
reported how he captured the sword-wielding offender. 'He tried to jump over the
fence but I crash-tackled him again and then a couple of boys arrived and
grabbed him, held him down . . . then we hog-tied him until police arrived.'
'If only they'd looked, when they walked in the main door, they would have
seen 40 or 50 of us sitting there. Obviously they couldn't see out of the
balaclavas', said Jerry.
The other two were apprehended and handed over to the police and they will be
charged with attempted robbery.
* The Southern Cross Cruiser Club was formed in 1998 and now has over 80
members both male and female.
