Tuesday of play turns to Tuesday of pain in Spain, as bulls gore folks who pay to get trampled by them




espanaeee



So, I internet-travel to Spain's annual running of the bulls and my God! I just couldn't believe what people could do to run with these vicious bulls who are looking forward to mauling and getting them all gored.  


It was almost like  watching another episode of Christians being served to hungry lions as palatable cuisines at the Roman  stadium centuries ago.
 These folks of Pamplona  enjoy paying to get trampled raging bulls; but  yesterday, not all of them could smile heartily at the fulfillment of having played with the bulls unscathed. 


Here is the news from Skynews  

''A British man and two Americans have been gored at the annual Running of the Bulls in the northern Spanish city of Pamplona.
One of the Americans was reportedly injured in the armpit and the Briton in the perineum…
Eight other people suffered minor injuries – mainly bruising – during the first bull run of Pamplona’s San Fermin festival.''
Now back to here, I would give anything in the world not to be the Briton. The perineum? Do you know where that is? 
well, it is that area between the anus and  the balls.  Lord bless his poor soul! I hold mine dear... not even a bull can trespass .Well,  I guess it can only happen if I let it.
So, once again, a Tuesday of play just turned into a Tuesday pain. All thanks to the bulls.
See plenty pictures of the craziness after the cut

Do you say 'talk more of' or 'talk less of'? Also, how to pronounce 'parliament'

My beautiful KIB students, today,  you will be happy learning the correct way to express yourselves. Nigerians have a way of changing typical English expressions to suit them. Someone still had to argue with me that the English expression 'Better the devil you know than the devil you don't "  is so wrong and does not make sense.  He opines that angel should be there.  He forgets that English can be quite illogical to our Nigerian minds. Lol. People say things like. 'He has not even proposed talk more of walking down the aisle with me' 'He does not have a car,  talk less a house" Well these two expressions or collocations are not common in British and American English. Here are the universal conventional English collocations for Nigerian English's  'Talk more of' and 'Talk less of',  #LetAlone 'Let alone' is  used to indicate that something is far less likely or suitable than something else already mentioned.
