Poker Branding With Fire

TYPE in the word “poker” into a search engine and get the usual responses.

Politicians with “poker faces”. Nations playing “poker” with waepaons.

And a man getting branded with a red hot poker - for a bit of a laugh.

Politics can wait. So too can war.

And we journey to a pub in St Austell, Conbrwall, wher the drinkers are making their own entertainment.

A man has pulled own his trousers.

Drink. A fire.

A pal pulls the red hot poker from a fireplace and ’brands’ his backside.

The smell of burning flesh and hair.

A spokesman for the Westcountry Ambulance Service says: ”You can clearly see a nasty burn which could cause serious damage. When the anaesthetic qualities of the alcohol has worn off, he may well be in for a painful trip to hospital.”

And seat in the river…
