Received an amusing text from the old folks today. They are in Croatia with some friends and my Dad and the other bloke (Dave) hired a couple of mountain bikes to go for a little ride.
My Dad's bike was a bit big so on a rocky bit he had to lean it left to dismount, caught the handle bars in a spiky bush and fell sideways in to said spiky number. Dave helped drag him out and no harm done bar a scratch on his arm.
Now the best bit, when the accident happened they were passing a nudist beach . I'm reliably informed that the proximity of this is coincidental , but as my Dad was being dragged out the bush (snigger away fellow Finbarrs) an elderly male nudist wandered past with his bits swinging in the breeze. .
Below is a post ride (fnarr, fnarr) picture showing the only minor damage done. Budding Sun journos fire away with your best headline for such a tale.
