    Woman attacked by wild boar while sunbathing on Costa Blanca beach as animal escapes

    A woman has been injured after being attacked by a wild boar while sunbathing on a Costa Blanca beach.

    The dramatic moment happened after the disorientated animal rushed out of the sea as lifeguards sounded the alarm and attacked the female pensioner.

    Otherwise seems a bit harsh when it wasn’t her fault! :p

    The boar had obviously been paddling when he noticed the pensioner being attacked, so he ran at them acting in a disorientated manner to scare them

    Rugby is a game for (mostly) men with odd shaped balls.

    A oldie from The Gruaniad...

    "In our interview with Sir Jack Hayward, the chairman of Wolverhampton Wanderers [yesterday] we mistakenly attributed to him the following comment: ‘Our team was the worst in the First Division and I’m sure it’ll be the worst in the Premier League.’ Sir Jack had just declined the offer of a hot drink. What he actually said was ‘Our tea was the worst in the First Division and I’m sure it’ll be the worst in the Premier League.’ Profuse apologies.”

    When the Times ran a headline "Vienna boys choir caught up in sex abuse scandal" it was probably not a good idea to get Roger Boyes to write the article.

    True story, but can't seem to post a pic on my phone
