Words from the Main Man

 

walshyman282744_3777401387919_2110273562_n

So here we are again a week after his return and he is yet to be seen maybe he has crawled into the snail to hide after his italy experience.

Was it because he paddled like a gimp?

Was it because he caught the gay from Mangina McCrea?

Was it because he drank little lady beers and was hungover?

Orwas it because he was bagged out of the river after an embarrassing swim by his hero Miss Mairead Barnwell!?

lets ask him……

A: Good Morning Mr Walsh hows things been this week? we havent seen much of you?

B: Ahhh Welll ive had some work to do……

A: Really? work like real work or work like Macca style work?

B: Ahhh yeaaa pick on the auld man busy work lots to do

A: So the wife has finally caught on and making you do something

B: (Sheepishly) Yep……

A: So how was Italy we hear you hurt yourself what happened?

B: Well I was coming off this Hugeanourmousma drop like 200 feet plus, as I came to the lip I put in ma big eld booofer stroke I wound up my slender frame reaching for the lip as I pulled the stroke the force of my stroke ripped a boulder out of the lip stalling me as I went into freefall,

As I fell I thought to myself that shouldn't of happened whilst calculating the approximate speed of descent and how I could soften the landing I leant forward tucking for impact but the size of my brain forced me forwards as the tail came over my head I went over the handlebars,

This is something ive done many times on the mountain bike at Bernies hollow oooo yeeaaa, I pushed my hips forward as the water surged around I straightened up ready for impact just as I went to land the boulder I had earlier dislodged struck my boat pushing me off course at the last minute and landing badly into the pool below.

As I rolled up I knew I had hurt myself with a bone sticking out of my chest and blood pouring from my hand and face, but I pushed on knowing I was injured.

A: Wow Walshy you are some man for one man! like a true life hero!

B: Ahhh Yeaaa dats me Smile

A: So did you get it on camera

B: NO!

A: Really?

B:  No but thats what happened!

A: Really Really?

B:Yep

A: So what about this photo??

A: Thats what she said!

B: OOOOOoooooo Yeeeeaaaaaaa Baby!

A: So what really happened……?
