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

How to use 'many a' and 'a great deal of' in a sentence. How to pronounce 'impasse'

Good morning KIB  earthlings. Lets get down to brass tacks. Let's look at the use of verbs. Yesterday someone brought a statement to me and enquired if it were correct. 'many a fellow knows the truth' Many a driver ploughs this road daily' 'Many a teacher doesn't know how to  English'. All these sentences are correct. According to Oxford dictionary, Many a: ( formal: always used with a singular noun and a singular verb) means a large number of something. E.g many a young person has experimented with drugs.   So,  don't pluralise anything in the sentence because there is an 'A' already. 'Many a teachers like to flog their students ' is wrong. 'A great deal' How do you use 'a great deal'? A great deal takes a singular verb. E.g A great deal of bananas is planted in the north. 'A great deal' takes a singular verb.  Finally,  the pronunciation of impasse is /'ampa:s/ Not (impas) It's not Enem...

Is it 'off head', 'off hand' 'off pat' or 'by heart'?

I love all the new students in my class. You guys are awesome by the way. 😀😀 Today. I want to give you a better expression for saying that 'you know something very well'. #Offhead? There is nothing like offhead. 'I know it off head' is wrong. #Offhand? What does offhand mean? It mean without previous thought or consideration. Just like saying 'on the spur of moment' , 'immediately', 'spontaneously'. So, do you just know something offhand? No...not at all. You can say something offhand, do anything offhand but then it seems weird to say ' I know the answer offhand'. It is normal 'to say the answer offhand'. Do you get my drift? People don't know anything spontaneously, rather, they  say what they already know, spontaneously. Now to the final expression #HaveSomethingOffPat? It means to know something or be able to do something perfectly; be perfect master of something . So rather tha...
