    Speaking of getting slaughtered, I went to the bull fighting in Sevilla on Saturday

    and quite an amazing experience it was.

    The Spanish get all dressed up, as the English do for horse racing, and there was no shortage of talent about. The Spanish men smoke huge cigars in the stadium and shout all sorts of appreciative things which were beyond me.

    But as a spectacle which was evocative of their culture it was exceptional. Thoroughly enjoyed it and would highly recommend it. Very interesting and lots of fun.

    Less so for the bull, of course. But to paraphrase Burney, 'it's just a f*cking bull'.

    Ole!

    I can honestly say I would rather watch Arsenal.

    Um, yeah, but unless you've been to the bull fighting you can't be sure, can you Peter?

    I never got the chance to be present at a lynching but I am fairly confident I wouldn't have enjoyed it.

    It's just one of those things that you don't need to try for yourself. Like watching wrestling.

    Actually, I went to the wrestling at the Fairfield Halls, Croydon as a kid a few times and it was tremendous fun. Of course, the first few rows were occupied by the severely intellectually challenged, but it was none the worse for that.

    Oh I attach no moral judgement here, b. Each to their own and all that.

    I mean, I hate strip clubs but I appreciate that other people love them. I just know its not for me.

    What sort of wrestling are we talking about here P?

    Modern day nonsense or old skool nonsense? Giant Haystacks or John Cena? Big Daddy or Big Show?

    Both shíte of course but I am a stickler for detail.

    In both cases it appears to be large men in underpants. I am not sure I would want to spare either form so lets say both.

    Surely that would depend entirely upon *who* was for it?
