Stick a bratwurst down your trousers and run out of Aldi

pattaya - soapy massage

Well you could just take a shot of adrenaline, much easier than running and jumping around.

Blimey, that's a bit old even for KM (the other one).

Hank Hill hasn't come back...perhaps he's already started on the above list.

paulypaul - you must be a very, very sad individual.

I did the Bull Run of San Sebastian De Los Reyes, last year. I couldn't get anywhere near Pamplona unfortunately, but this is the second biggest in Spain and as SSdlR is at the very northern tip of the Madrid Metro, I combined it with a few days sightseeing and general debauchery.
I tell you what, if it's adrenaline you want, then being chased by a dozen huge bulls through narrow cobbled streets, will sort you right out. I've never had a buzz like it. I emerged unscathed, but there is a genuine risk of serious injury and it's pretty much out of your control.
It's still very much a local thing and so finding details online isn't easy. I stayed in Madrid and just pitched up at 6-30am, it finishes at the Bull Ring, obvs, which is right next to the Metro station, so it's not like you can't find the place. You don't need a ticket or anything, if you're crackers enough to go through the fence, then you're in.
Word of warning, the bulls run fast, so unless you're in semi-decent shape be prepared to bail out as soon as you hear their bells as they'll be amongst you pretty quickly and seem to enjoy hurting people.

In a roundabout way

Yes, it's the same week actually Slippy (welcome back, btw). I looked at doing both, driving there and back in a day, but it's near Valencia, which is around 200 miles from Madrid and so didn't bother in the end. It's on my list though.

This would always get you a chase of the houses owner

Thought about telling the wife she is wrong about something - might go for the bull run instead

Thanks for the laugh chaps

When does it begin then

Good thread Hank , i'm fast approaching myself but not sure i'm up to skydiving right now
An old mate of mine did just that though , it def looks like a rush but is a bit of training involved before you jump (his was posponed a few times due to bad weather)


I also used to get those Late for school dreams right into my late 20's

ken i think that has just ended anyone on here ever giving that a try , unless they already have

Hope he's got some Germolene.
