Bit of a Fluke accident really. It was a good job the crew were in a Turbot diesel ambulance.

it's his caviar-lier attitude towards safety that I find so amazing. He had a throat and was determined to fillet , or so it breams

The emergency responder did well to ascertain that it was a blocked airway and not a poissoning.

This story came through while I was on a first aid course, it was the ideal plaice to discuss it really, though it'd have been better if it'd come during hte CPR section rather than the omega 3 burns, I mean, superfishoil

They must have wondered what was the manta with him. Any idea how his dog reacted, the porbeagle?

Now he's recovered he probably feels squids-in.

Must have sore throat mussels.
