Translated into old-fart-parentese...
I'm going to have a Glock, which is a powerful and lovely gun, to take out every one of them damn animals, and I don't particularly care for the name "Cyril", so change it while you still have a chance.

You know, I have a funny feeling that the baby isn't too happy with the name Cyril. I tried to tell Joseph it didn't seem right. Serenely strokes tummy

Sighs serenely again... why is life never simple?
I'd ring 999 but I think my mobile's out of credit. Don't worry, Brian. I was in the Guides and did my first aider badge. I rather liked the blue uniform, you know. Hold on.
Modestly rips off the lower half of her skirt and uses it as a bandage for Brian's injury

The donkey's fainted. After having been chided by the Equity Director regarding exceeding the scope of my contract and job description, and after having not received a clarifying answer regarding filling in for First-aider, sorry - can't help except to pass you more bandages from the props table. You're in a DIY situation here. ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
