This is quite a headline from the Queen guitarist:

    I laughed when I read it this morning too.
    Maybe Anita was getting frisky with him  :D

    You could sit on an upside down lawnmower or get attacked by a strimmer that had been possessed by evil spirits or you could have been gardening whilst imbibing evil spirits

    He was leaning over to prune a rose and was savaged by a particularly vicious and ungrateful badger

    @WillDB :D
    He's getting on a bit though, so he's probably not fit for a spot of heavy pruning .
    A far cry from the heady days of the early 70s when I saw him, and the  lads at the Glasgow Apollo, in his gorgeous pleated satin top....

    I’m now a bit worried that this is a hazard of gardening, I’ve just been bending over to pull up weeds, could I be next!!

    That would be a very embarrassing 999 call.

    I recommend weeding from a horizontal position.

    Blimey, they say things come in threes. I hope he avoids the garden for a while.
