1. Flour fight festival in Spain – in pictures
Each year the Els Enfarinats festival takes place in the town of Ibi in eastern Spain. One group of men take over the town pronouncing a whole host of ridiculous laws and fining the citizens that infringe them. Another group do battle with flour and eggs to regain control. All the fines raised go to charity

These are great links … have a good 2014…
Thank you!
The Spaniards are even dottier than the furniture-flinging local contingent.
Of course, local politicians constantly have egg on their faces without being anywhere near Spain.
True. If I had known about the furniture tradition I could have started throwing out furniture I didn’t like years ago.
And, preferably, timing it so that someone you didn’t like was underneath at the time!
