What do you do if you find a Scorpion!

Scorpions don't bite but they do have a sting in their tail...eek. The one in this video strolled onto our building site yesterday and we all rushed to see what it looked like, without fear of what would happen if it stung us... well actually with a lot of fear that's what made it so exciting!

Anyway we have since had a toolbox talk on the dangers of Scorpions and here's what you should do if you do ever get stung.

1. Wash the Scorpion sting with Soap and water.
2.Apply a ice wrapped in a cloth.
3.Elevate the affected area above heart level.
4.Get medical help...immediately... if you start to get numbness, tingling of extremities or face, blurry vision, twitching, roving eye movements, vomiting then call an ambulance!!!

Tips to avoid being stung are check clothing before getting dressed and don't get to close when trying to film them with your camera phone!

John Travolta's Plane

In the last week Ascension Island has become a bit of a hotspot for VIP visitors. On Saturday "Air Force 2" with Joe Biden the Vice president of the USA called in on route home from the opening game of the world cup and then on Monday we had an even cooler visitor. The one and only John Travolta landed his Quantas plane also on route home from South Africa. Unfortunately his wife Kelly didn't feel too good so they stayed on the plane but it was still cool to see his plane after hearing so much about it over the last few years. (Did you know hes got a runway next to his house).

Anyway heres a Video clip of John Travolta's plane recorded Monday (14/06/10) when he landed here on Ascension Island and a load of random current photos from his trip (i took the one of the plane).

My Runcast Antarctica (Secret Re-Edit: Video)

<br /><small>Find more videos like this on RuncastTV</small><br />

This is a safe edit (won't get me in trouble with anyone) version of the video I posted a few weeks ago but took down because it showed lots of stuff of a Top Secret nature. This version still shows some stuff that I probably shouldn't be including but has no way as much as the last one. I think this one should be ok to leave up but its a bit boring in comparison to the last one (sorry about that). 
Hope you still enjoy it.

PS I will post some audioblog some commentary later this week.

This audio isn't the podcast that I've been promising for as long as I can remember, instead its the "Backlog Audioblog"! Which I'am going to use as a cheat podcast to catch up on all the material that I would have put in a podcast if I had ever got round to doing a podcast! Haha yeah I now what your going to say I should really bite the bullet and say this is it..but where would the fun be in that!
