What a good idea!

Find a bucket and take it to kitchen ...


We are in the kitchen...


Easy then!

or outside tap and fill it. It doesn't take long.


Quite. One has free hand, the teeth of TR1 are currently safely engaged
in severing a finger. Grab the little bar steward tightly round the neck
until it lets go, remember to continue grabbing the little bar steward
tightly round the neck for several minutes just to make sure the little
bar steward doesn't get a second chance at finger severing.


Well, yes, but Alan was suggesting an alternative solution :-)


Either method would do, but I wonder if the bar steward would have a go at
slashing the hand with it's claws.
