Yes!
Blind people being attacked by animals is normally hilarious, but when it's THIS blind man, it makes it even funnier:

Dammit
why didn't he die. There is no justice in the world.

Yeah :D
Can you imagine the blind panic?

*groans*
I like that the BBC report implies that he tried to save his dog. Like fuck would he, he's blind!

According to Wikipedia
He's had a fair few dogs.
I reckon it's a canine conspiracy to lead him to his death.
Suicide-mission for the dogs, but one day their pointy-eared-enthusiasm will triumph!

When they say
'charging cow', did they mean Jacqui Smith or Hazel Blears?

Am I the only person that thought the headline would've been funnier if they'd said "charging Derbyshire cow" instead of "charging cow in Derbyshire"?

I'm wondering why
a blind man walks in the Peak District anyway. It's not for the scenary, is it? If it's just for the fresh air, there must be somewhere with fewer...erm...obstacles.

Anyway, we can now look forward to a new Labour policy: the COWBO.

Like...
A carpark at night or something?
( Cawl, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:09, Reply)

Maybe
Or a path.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:12, Reply)

Or the motorway at nine in the morning.

Somewhere with less things to walk off...
I think the peak district is a brilliant place for him to go for a walk. He should do it more often.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:14, Reply)

Agreed.
And he should take a fleet of dogs, and have them face off against the Cow Army like Nelson organising his ships.

And this would be a brilliant day.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:17, Reply)

Although, I do feel a little bit sorry for him.
That he celebrated his birthday by going for a walk with no one but his dog.

That's a bit sad.

Careful now,
You're projecting human feelings onto a politician.
( Cawl, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:20, Reply)

Only a little bit.



It's gone now.

It's because he's a
twat

Has anyone thought yet
how did he know it was a cow and not a bull?
(Eds Meds Mathskillz=1,Socialskillz=0, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:22, Reply)

Maybe he had a crafty grope
While he was getting trampled.

Also,
if he let his dog run off, how did he find his way home?

This brings up the nice image of David Blunkett moaning for help under a cow, and someone eventually finding him.
(Land of Green Ginger It's dreamy weather, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:35, Reply)

I prefer the image
Of him stumbling round country lanes and fields in the dark with his arms feeling about in front of him, and him falling into hedges and cow shits.
(Applebite Uh! A cow!, Mon 8 Jun 2009, 15:47, Reply)

Hmm
Accidentally hugging thorn bushes and suchlike. Excellent.

I can't believe
there's footage of Boris' not so spectacular fall in a river, and yet this incident was uncaptured?
