Oh dear, how frightfully Barrymore of me. I do hope this doesn't make the front page of next week's Gazunder.
To put the story straight, I'd invited Elton round for a glass or two of Krug, and he'd asked me what I'd been up to recently. I mentioned the Hairagami gig, and he demanded a demonstration. I'd completely forgotten that I was still wearing the hairband (with natural colour swatch) when I wandered over to the sink to fill the kettle for a cup of Earl Grey. The waste disposal must have been on the automatic setting. Et voila.
Elton dialled 999, of course, but then panicked about the possible adverse publicity, and hightailed it in his Lambo before the ambulance arrived.
The whole sorry episode highlights how easily these tragic incidents can happen in the home. According to the Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents, almost 30,000 people in the UK were involved in unspecified injuries to the head whilst performing unspecified activities in the home in 2002. I think those figures speak for themselves.

There, you see, it's easily done, it could have happened to anyone.
You don't suppose that while trying to freshen you up with floor cleaner, your cats mistakingly did the telly and video instead?
I have heard that they get a little confused with cleaning duties.
How often do you see them employed in the catering services?
The alternative is a little too horrid to contemplate but may suggest that you ease up on the Carlsburg (probably)!
