SLAGIATT...

Just watching Michael Palin on the boob tube. He's in Peshawar, I think, at
the bull racing.

What they do, they have a pair of racing bulls, side by side, towing a thing
the size of a tea-tray. On this, the rider stands. He also has a set of
reins, more, I think, for holding on than guiding his animals. The bulls
get a big slug of home-brewed fire-water before the off. Then the whole
caboodle fucks off at high speed up the field. Madness. Injury and death
is not uncommon, apparently, and the crowd also appear to be fair game when
the bulls decide to leave the track at a tangent...

 

Wonder how many CIHAGM they get ?

We just watched that. What a fucking hoot. Note Palin didn't
indulge, mind - he must be getting old.

NB: The local dialect word for foot - is "pong". Harhar.

 

It's one of those things where I found myself thinking "I could do that..."

Best wait for the bones to heal.

 

Prolly wasn't allowed - the underwriters would have had an infarction.

Yerss. Feeling a bit better now?

 

platypus emerged from their own little world to say

Odd how the people aren't allowed to drink but they get their bulls pissed

 

Flying, quietly. TYVM.

 

It's gone all autumnal. Calorific remedies are in season.

 

How appropriate for you! ;-)

I'd need to be on Angel Dust, before I tried that....
