Brian Jets Off To Tomatina

Brian Jets Off To Tomatina

 

Did you notice that Brian wasn't round much

Last week, this is true, I don't lie

I'll relay you a story and shed light on

Where Brian disappeared to, and just why

 

Our Brian he has got a secret

A secret he's hesitant to share

What made me discover his secret?

His picture in my paper. He's bare!

 

Last Wednesday in August he jets off

To Bunol in Spain for Tomatina

You're thinking what the heck's this Tomatina?

No, he's not gone a'looking for Gina

 

(poor soul – still can't find her)

 

Tomatina's the world's biggest food fight

Tomatoes are pelted all round

Golly gosh, I see Brian in the picture

All covered in squash (on the ground)

 

As mentioned before, he is bare

Tomatina he didn't want to miss

And he's smiling with others around him

All enjoying this tomato-like bliss

 

The throwing which lasts for one hour

Takes 160 tonnes of ripe toms

And 20,000 people attending

With Brian lining up with the Poms

 

The event began in year 45

Which meant our Brian could not attend

Because he had not yet been thought of

UK found some other Poms to send

 

When Brian returns home from Tomatina

He can't eat tomatoes for weeks

And just holds his breath that no-one else does

Go on a paper-pic seek

Can you see Brian here?

 

 

The next video is for Brian to practice up his Spanish for next year's event

How do they get enough tomatoes? Do they save up rotting ones all summer season?

Brian, they obviously had it in for you as the rules are adamant that only squashed tomatoes may be thrown to avoid whole tomato damage. I can only say hard luck mate. Perhaps you said the wrong Spanish to them? You need to brush up on that video I reckon ?

I won't go again Don. The tomatoes they threw at me were in tins!

Thanks for that Don but I'm allergic...not really but after that it is a strong possibility..?
