A Chinese man has lost his hand - when it was ripped off during a tug-of-war contest.

This is the story destined to be the battleground for tomorrow's Headline Game on TFM radio.

The competition was halted when the man - called Mr Shi - was seen holding up his severed limb.

Thankfully, he has had it reattached in a five-hour operation.

Our headline (at the moment but we might come up with something better) is "Feeling ropey".

The score stands at 2-2 so another point would come in handy.
