Go here...

Then go to BBC News: Video and Audio (on the right-hand side) and click on "Man stuck in gorse bush?"

The video's a bit crap, but it's quite funny.

My internet filters at work preclude me from viewing the video but I suspect that it contains a good cheap laugh at this poor chap's predicament

Ouch. hope the family jewels were not compromised.
My family still likes a collective chuckle at my toppling backwards into a nettle patch while having an al fresco wee at age four. My mother was supposed to be holding on to me FFS .

Have they worked out yet, how on earth he got IN there in the first place?

it was on the regional news last night; the reporters seemed to find it quite entertaining, and not a little bizarre!

I see, the reporter said something about him looking for his mountain bike, but she did seem a bit baffled by that as an explanation!

He'd gone to the caravan park to play on the fruit machines, then wandered off into the gorse bushes. Inebriated as a newt, I think. Incomprehensible in the interview.

Hehehe - reminds of the time I needed a 'comfort stop' and then toppled down the side of Cheddar Gorge!!! Luckily, dh was there to rescue me, but it didn't do my tights any good at all.
