Nick, do you have relatives down under by any chance?  point:

You have to love the line: 'Crocodile attacks and shootings are rare in Australia. To suffer both at once is - to say the least - unfortunate. '  happy001

A man has been accidentally shot by a rescuer who was trying to free him from the jaws of a crocodile in northern Australia.

The victim, in his late 20s, was attacked by the reptile near a popular tourist spot on the Mary River south-east of Darwin.

He was flown to hospital by helicopter for emergency surgery for bite and bullet wounds.

He is currently in a stable condition in hospital.

Two shots

Crocodile attacks and shootings are rare in Australia.

To suffer both at once is - to say the least - unfortunate.

Jason Grant was collecting crocodile eggs at a remote reptile farm when he found himself locked inside a giant set of jaws.

For a few terrifying moments the animal wildly shook its victim before the intervention of a fellow worker.

He fired two shots at the saltwater crocodile. One hit the target, while the other struck the arm of his stricken colleague.

It was enough though to bring the drama to an end.

The injured man was flown to hospital in Darwin, where he is recovering.

Well if the guy with the rifle is indeed a relative of our own Captain Calamity the croc probably escaped with no injury.  whistle:

So does that mean that the rumour about the secret vault where you hide the evidence off all your Nick-o-ray moments actually exists?

Just a suggestion but go to his room and sing along with whatever he is playing. Judging from the calamities that befall everything else you try the catawauling will scare him into putting the saxophone away.  whistle:
