A GROUP OF Italians who attempted to leave a restaurant in the Spanish town of Pamplona on Friday evening – without paying – following the famous bull running festival were forced by police to return.
Local police tweeted the story, along with a photo of the bill.
The group of 14 Italians had racked up a bill of €620, which included 15 shots of alcohol, a coffee and a salmon tartare.

Not only did the police manage to track down the group and make them pay, a hefty tip was left for the staff too, they said.
Friday’s opening run saw four people hurt, three of them gored. One man, a 46-year-old Spaniard, suffered serious injuries.
A further ten people were hurt on Saturday in Spain’s annual San Fermin bull running fiesta in Pamplona, according to regional government sources.
Two people were injured on day four of the festival today.
The two injured men, both Spaniards, were taken to a Pamplona hospital but neither is in serious condition, Red Cross spokesman Jose Aldaba said.
Television images showed one bull running into a man from behind and hooking a horn into his jacket as he fell to the ground.
The nine-day fiesta became immortalised with Ernest Hemingway’s 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises.
In total, 15 people have died from being gored at the festival since record-keeping began in 1924.

40 years old is a bit misleading. To nerds sending a mail in a lab? Think i got my first mail in 1995
Yeah and it was well after that that it became adopted widely enough to be of any use for marketing. Plus, let’s not forget that email marketing only works in tandem with functional online stores, which didnt really exist until the late 1990s (eg Amazon’s IPO was in 1997, and it didn’t make a profit until 2001).
Pats full of Sh#t

Find facebook too restrictive. Its great if your just a big brand wanting image and logo, but if your message wants to get your USP’s across and a phone number, then facebook needs to broaden its protocols. Its obviously designed to suit facebook, and yet there’s more freedom with a street billboard. Perhaps fit the nerd at facebook read Ogilvy’s ‘Confessions of advertising man’ he would discover learn how the industry works . . Emails, brilliant. they fall into the format of the worlds most oldest format of advertising; the editorial style.
Surely those figures are skewed, considering email newsletters are something you have already showed an interest in,bought something from in the past, or was recommended by a friend, so therefore you would be more likely to buy from?
How do you get someone on your email list? Facebook Adverts and Adwords, so social is important. Doesn’t sound like he tested Facebook ads with their great targeting. Email probably is the most effective, but it’s isn’t free, you need a good CRM to do email properly,
You just need a list. Why do you think so many stores are asking for email address when you buy products
If it’s just a list and not relevant to you when you receive the email, then you will just deleted it. Newsletters via email are now tailored to you based on your needs and trends/buying habits. Under Armor for example used to just send out generic emails offers. Now they can customize and change them as they have a lot of data on you.
