Gosport man gets head stuck in thorn bush after trying to tie shoelaces

Man gets head stuck in bush after trying to tie shoelaces Man gets head stuck in bush after trying to tie shoelaces

A MAN fell down a 20-foot embankment and ended up with his head stuck in a thorn bush after an unsuccessful attempt to tie his shoe laces.

The red-faced 41-year-old tried to free himself and shouted for help for 15 minutes before giving up and calling emergency services, this morning.

Shortly after midnight the man bent down to tie his laces at Rowner Road, Gosport, and rolled down the bank.

Fire crews removed his head from the bush and lifted him back to the road on a casualty board.

He was then taken to Queen Alexandra by ambulance with a suspected shoulder injury.

Humour obviously isn't one of your strong points....perhaps you should stick to what you know best - Bigotry & Racism.

Early hours of the morning, 41 year old man on his knees with his head stuck in a bush for 15 minutes, no wonder he needed some help getting back on his feet!

If you had read previous comments made by StEmmosfire, you would probably have used the same word as often as WalterK.

By the same token, if you had read WalterK's previous comments, I very much doubt that you would be accusing him of drunkeness or battery.

I'm confused - are people who use the word 'bigot' more likely to be gay? And are obese velocipedists more likely to be homophobic?
