Escaped bull in Stavanger city centre, 15 September 2011

Click picture below to watch film/interview. The famer is chasing his bull, which had escaped when the farmer went in with its breakfast (in itself strange behaviour - could never imagine Fudge, for instance, escaping before breakfast) and at the point the film was made the bull was just heading into one of Stavanger's main streets. An NRK reporter saw what was happening and asked the famer what was going on. The fascinating thing about the interview is not so much what was said ("well, it was like this, see, I was just bringing him his breakfast and ...") but the fact that the reporter and the farmer are taking the time to stand around chatting while watching a large bull rushing off into a busy city centre. The interview ends "... not like him at all - he's such a sweetheart usually. Ah well, I'd better be off and catch him" (or words to that effect). One laid-back farmer.
