Rescue me...
There have been several times when I have felt I feel like being stretchered off after a particularly busy show, but this is the first time I have ended up in a stretcher before a show.
Over the weekend I was hosting a 'get fit for winter' event at a big outdoor shop ( I should point out that's a shop that sells outdoor gear and not a shop that just happens to be outside!) and among the guests were the Ochills Mountain Rescue team. The guys felt that in order to appreciate the work that they do I should spend a bit of time as a 'casualty'.
If we were allowed to run competitions then I would say this is a caption competition waiting to happen...

I may be out of line here, but this reminds me of the contraption used to confine Hannibal Lecter.
