Speaking of children... I got an email from my daughter asking me if I could make her one of these for Christmas...
She never saw the teddybear I made... it would have terrified even the hardiest of children. I'm sort of rather tempted to give it a go :) If I ever do... I will be sure to post the result...
*exit thread eating more of the evidence of what shall never be spoken of again*
:)
Please wait here. Further instructions could pile up at any time. Thank you.

No sweat. Knew that one all along ( ahem ).

* Absolutely true story. Mildura ~ 1987, guy comes into ED badly smashed up from a car accident out on the highway. He has overalls on, is a house painter, and all the paint tins in the back of the van had come forward and split open. So he's covered quite extensively in various paints. Bad news : his spleen has ruptured so we have to go in. NOW. No time for fancy preps, take him up to theater in the clothes he's in, scrub his belly as best as can and get in. Halfway through the procedure - and we are doing well thankfully - I'm holding the retractors etc on one side and the surgeon ( Kevin ) is on the other. We hear a clink and a stubby bottle of beer ( Victoria Bitter ) falls to the floor. It had slipped out of one of the painter's overalls flank pockets [ the long one at the side of the thigh ]. But it doesn't break, is unopened and full, and then starts to roll across the floor to the wall. Kev, myself, the anaesthetist and two scrub nurses all watch it slowly rolling. I was too slow. Kev says "eyes off it Mick, that one's mine" ..... :-) :-)

(Opens door to bar, walks in, slips and falls due to Doc Hewson ejectus on floor, breaks leg.
Gets treated by said doctor, who promptly performs a lobotomy on me.
I no longer care about broken leg.
The End.)
I thought I was wrong once, but I was mistaken.
Hears the commotion going on,
