Thanks for the fix, Willlow, and you can suck if you like, depends where the bite is, I guess... that's when you discover who your real friends are! Oh stoppit!
I really enjoyed your magpie! When my little brother was 8 he was bitten in the leg by a rattle snake. He got lucky, our neighbors had a suction kit and that was very lucky because we were 45 minutes from the nearest hostpital.

What a fabulous post! Quick sharp and witty! But how many great minds are thinking alike...? Stafford - I incorporated a 'hope in hell' bit in my (rather long) ditty, too! I didn't cheat - I promise! You'll have to put your arm round your jotter more so I can't copy you in future.....!
I had to laugh only reading the title - it speaks for itself ... :-) ps: how shall I call you? Stafford, Staff, or Ray? (apology I'm just a lil confused ... ;-)
I thought you could just suck the venom out of the bite! Yuk!!

Irreverent as usual Stafford. More Cockney than Aussie. Our American friends are confusing us wiv our old dart cuzzins.
