People have injuries and accidents all the time in many places, and should an accident happen in your presence, you can provide vital support before help arrives.
Now, then - first of all - do we all have pens, notepads, erasers? Good.
Now if you don't know that this is the head, arms, legs well, you might as well leave now.

But can anyone, for instance, tell me where the tibia is? Bzz! Jarvis, Craiglang - leg.

How do you feel now, Jack? Smashing! Oh, ayefirst aid thing.
Couple of tits! - The lovely Margo! - Hello, lads! Hello, Boaby.

- What would the quiz book be called? - It's called - Uh-uh! - As soon as you tell them, it's the end.
- They'll get the same one.
Exactly, Margo - you're dealing with sleekit bastards.
I'm going to go and put this somewhere very safe.
Are we getting three pints or no'? - Want me to get them, Boaby? - Could you? - Nae bother.
Victor, come here and see this.
They've taken a hand, stripped all the skin back to reveal all the veins and that.
Fantastic.
Is that right, aye? I've seen something better than that.
- What? - A pickled boaby.
A pickled boaby? - Ohthat's a belter, isn't it? - It's disgusting, eh? But if you had a big boaby like that, you'd want to put it on display.
I'll tell you what's happened there.
That fella's died and the undertaker's clocked that, picked up the phone and said, "Is that the museum? I've got a smashing big boaby in if you're interested.
" - "Good-oh.
I'll be down with my saw to hack it aff and stick it in a jar.
Cheerie-bye.
" - Cheerie-bye.
Come on, we'd better get moving.
- Hello, there.
- Hello.
- Hello.
- Are you not going the wrong way? - We're going to the pub.
- You've got a class.
- What about? - Dressings.
- Ach! - Bandages! I know how to put a bandage on.
Do you, Jack? Ayeplasterboof! Come on.
Come with us for a drink.
No, you're all right.
We're going to the class.
- Squares.
- Chill out, man! - See you.
- Aye, see you.
Should we be going to that class? - Pish! Couple of jars then we hit the library.
- I can dig that.
Aye.
I mean, you don't want to get to our age and go, "Christ, I should have let my hair doon.
" If I was your age, son I'd be out shagging everything that moves.
That's right.
Shag everything that moves.
Get us a couple of pints, for your old pals, eh? That's the boy.
- Dumb.
- Brainless.
Here, Jack, we'd better watch our time.
- I'm starving.
I don't want to go to the library.
- Och! Bloody library.
Daft books.
Reading?! We'd better curtail our bevvy, mind you, cos we've got a class tomorrow.
- We'll have these two pints just to be sociable and - Aye.
- that'll be that.
- Aye.
Just to be sociablethen hame.
- Go on! - Come on! Come on! - Keep going.
- Get it down you.
That's a lot of pens.
You planning on doing a lot of writing? Diary? Memoirs, perhaps? - They're for the quiz in The Clansman.
- Oh, the quiz.
I'll be there - front and centre.
- See you there.
- Aye, with bells on.
- Nice girl.
- She's working in The Clansman with Boaby.
Margo.
- I may be talking too soon, but there might be a wee romance.
- Wi' Boaby? He couldnae get his hole in a barrel of fannies.
So you're going to the quiz? Aye, I watch all the quizzes, especially The Weakest Link.
But I think Anne Robinson's been going over the top.
Too much of the insults.
I think it's the fault of this prick Simon Cowell from Pop Idol slagging everybody.
She's under pressure to up the stakes.
There was this nice guy on - quiet, you know.
He was a constable.
Know what she called him? PC Plod.
PC Plod?! That's too much.
There's nae need.
It gets on my tits.
For months I've been phoning to get on that show.
Put her gas at a peep.
If I got a question about numbers, she might say to me, "I hope you don't count your till receipts that way.
" Then the ball would be up on the slates.
I'd say to her, "Who are you talking to, you ginger bitch! "I've been in the business 25 years.
I'm up at 6.
30 every morning! "What time do you get up, you lazy cow? "No, you're out of your depth here, you botox-faced bastard!" I think you should lay off that Weakest Link for a while, Navid.
- That was some mental night last night.
- Aye.
Got a wee bit oot o' hand, but.
I mean, drinking one another's sick! That was our cue to leave when the boy stuck a pen up his boaby - and wrote his name on the beer mat.
- Jesus! Right, Jack boy - black ball, corner pocket for the game.
- Well, hurry up, we've got a class in five minutes.
- What is it? - Och, scaldings and burns and that.
- Burns? Just slap a wee bit of cream on it, don't you? Aye.
Rack them up.

You led me astray.
Aye, I tied you up and forced all that lager doon your neck.
Still, I mean, flunking two piss-easy first aid courses.
