My opinions on matters of the day that, generally, have pissed me off.
Being described as a 'Surly Curmudgeon', by those who meet me on a good day, I have a poor regard for the human species.
This is my place for my free speech- not bloody yours. Crap under your own rock.

Stuff I don't need!
A three year-old swallowing a toy and getting it stuck in the airway!
I got him unblocked, but now the offending peice of plastic is inside, so he is off to hospital for an x-ray. Bloody kids!
Just as well I know how to do this sort of thing...
Had a similar incident with one of mine at about two. She put a sizeable screw, around 2 inches, fallen or pulled out of the back of her high chair, in her mouth. Breathed in suddenly and whammo. Through the gagging and vomitting I managed to get the screw dislodged from a horizontal position across the back of her throat but from there it went downwards. Nasty experience. Dash to A+E, x-rays, hours of waiting around. Reappeared in a nappy about two days later. No longer a shiny screw. Still have it somewhere. Their inner workings are amazingly robust. You non-parents should take note. Kids do this stuff and you don't have eyes in the back of your head. Then again some of you might...

How about you?
Up-end them and wallop them betwwen the shoulderblades.
Hope you don't get reported for striking a child!
The last one I did was worse- that took a couple of abdominal thrusts (see Heimlich manuveour)
That kid was smufing!
I bet she's a father too.

Today a 15mm stainless steel ball-bearing appeared.
It's not as shiny as it was...
