San Sebastian & Pamplona

First off - we are all alive everyone so no need to worry!

Second - we are now in London and this hostel doesn't let us upload photos, so just writing a quick post on iPhone.

The running of the bulls was an experience we will never forget. The excitement and adrenaline that kicks in just before the bulls are released was overwhelming. People around us could be seen warming up and praying on their knees. We decided to stand about 100m from the start of the run, just before the accurately named "dead man's corner". Once the bulls were released all we could do was hope the massive 600kg beasts would run in a straight line and ignore us, which they did. Phew!


Apart from the bull run, the parties associated with the festival were crazy. The opening party in Pamplona square saw us get completely drenched in sangria (like cheap wine). Will upload photos of before and after shots of our nice white clothes and new purple alcoholic smelling ones. The town we stayed in, San Sebastian, was about an hour out of Pamplona but was a beautiful little city on the west coast of Spain, with pristine beaches and cheap pintxos (like tapas, but even better). We tried some interesting food such as pig ear, quail egg and duck liver.


I'll leave it there for now. Will update with photos soon either at an internet cafe or once we get to Paris.

Thanks for all the comments and stay tuned!

Glad to read you guys are still alive, but Dom your mum still thinks you might have lost an eye, or arm, or ???. It would be good if your next post puts her mind at ease.

Pig said...

Bull said...

hey do i know you?
were you in Pamplona the other day?
i only ask this because my testicles are missing and i cant remember where they have gone.
That Paul guy seems to know about having a mouth full of testicles.
thats all from me
we might run into each other again

Bull said...

hey just me again
i was just speaking to Sir Elton John and i asked him if he had seen my nuts and he said Paul was knee deep in his nuts only last week. So Paul if you have my testicles dont be a asswipe and give them back

Kind regards

BULL RAUL

PPAD said...

The duck liver was an interesting one (read on at ur own risk animal activists...)

What the Spanish do is starve the duck for as long as they can while keeping it alive. They then feed it large amounts of food very quickly and kill it shortly after. What this does is inflames the duck liver and makes it larger and supposedly more tasty.

Mm mmm.

Why do I get the feeling someone will now post using the name 'animal activist'.

RSPCA said...

We arrested a duck not long ago for that exact thing PPAD!

Ugly Duckling said...

They tried to starve me aswel but it turned out I was a swan...serves those other mother duckers right for calling me ugly now the jokes on them because im alive and they are dead.... Muhahahahahaha

I heard their is a guy who goes out on Saturday nights to clubs and picks up ducks, he gets them drunk and drugs them, and in the morning the duck wakes up with their liver missing....

George Michael said...

Paul, I Feel So Unsure
As i take your slong
And lead you to the dance floor
As the music dies
Like something in your pants
Calls to mind a happy dream
And all its really hard to find

I'm never gonna sleep again
Guilty slong have got no bonner
Though it's easy to pretend
I know you are a fool
I should have known better than to cheat a friend
And waste a chance that i've been given
So i'm never gonna sleep again
The way i slept with you

I want you Paul

Sir Asswipes said...

We arrested Paul because he had stolen a 42inch black Dildo in Spain. Charges were dropped when Sir Elton John paid for the stolen item and later on he said he will punnish Paul for being a bad boy

Paul, I Think we've Done it on The Sofa
I think we've Done it on the hall
I think we've Done it on the kitchen table, Paulie

Let's go outside
In the sunshine
I know you want to, but you cant get it up
Let's go outside
In the moonshine
Take me to the floor that i love best

And yes i've been bad
Doctor won't you do with me what you can
You see i think about it all the time
Twenty four seven

Paul i long you

HRH Queen Elizabeth II said...

Dear boys,
Long time reader, first time blogger here. I trust you've enjoyed your trip thus far. Thank heavens you survived the running of the bulls. Upon feeling suitably relaxed, please make your way to Buckingham Palace where I look forward to extending warm wishes and a tray of cucumber sandwhiches to you in thanks for studiously representing the Commonwealth to your dirty little Spanish counterparts. Indeed. Oh, and if you don't mind, I would like to celebrate with you afterwards by partaking in a naughty little wet t-shirt competition, where you might bring the aforementioned sangria to douse me with.

And now a little ditty for Paul:
Ahem...
"Hello.. Is it me you're looking for?!"

Toodleoo dearys!

Hi all! On our way to Amsterdam now from Paris. Have not found a decent computer to update blog but hoping there is one at our place in Amsterdam. London and Paris were both great in their own way. We saw all the big sites which were much more impressive in real life. Will update more in a post.

WARNING: comments section is getting a bit clogged up so if your comment is short and not funny it will be deleted without prejudice.

Au revoir!

Mars Bar Adelaide said...

Heeeyyyy Guyysss

Just wanna say a shout out to our boy Paul, who we miss reallyyy much.

Here is a poem for you Paul

his name is Paul,
he isnt that tall,
he went away with other guys,
and when they spank him he cries,
I understand why he ran away,
now I understand why he didn't stay,
he was afraid to love another man,
now he pee's in a can,
and he is afraid to take a chance,
because he cant break dance,
he was afraid to take it hard,
he was afraid to get scared,
he made his mind and stayed with gay society
even though he had his chance to be free,
Paul we love you every day,
and its not because your gay.

THE END

Paul the club is empty without you
and not many people wear jumpers around their weist anymore.
we need you

speak soon sweeeety ;)
