"David Dimbleby injured by bullock"

Over at the BBC.

The 71-year-old was loading a bullock onto a trailer at his farm in Sussex when it reared, resulting in the presenter being briefly knocked out...

Thanks to AC1 for emailing me this.

My problem here is whether this is part of a worldwide faunal insurgency or merely an expression of good taste?

STB.

STB, I'd like to think the latter, but I fear the former. Fatal cow attacks this year in the UK are running at more than twice the long-run average. And it's a world-wide phenomenom which has spread to all herbivourous animals.

I propose a special Quango to look into worldwide cow attacks.
Any attacks in Jamacia..that would be a good place to start checking in December.

Global warming, doncha know? Speeds up their metabolisms. Causes release of excess hormones. 'Roid rages all round.

I would expect to be better at dealing with bullocks, given the number of ministers he meets.
