We're full of 'em Nick. A while ago some kids were sniffing out of an LPG barbie cylinder, inside a car in order to get high, then of course one of the young Einsteins decided he fancied a cigarette, the rest as they say, is history along with two of our nation's finest yoof. I could continue with tall tales but true but then this post would be longer than one of Kim's dismantling of song lyrics threads! :mrgreen:

Nick, It's not only Kiwi's, I'm a professional Firefighter and could tell you stories that would have you Pi**ing yourself.
Like the guy that got a small hole in his cars petrol tank and decided to weld it without draining the fuel and vapour,I'm sure you can imagine what happened :shock:

I can better that one. I was on an oil rig off the coast of Trinidad and came upon one of the rig's roughnecks gas cutting a section of handrail......right above a tank of jet fuel.

And it shows!
Mind you, in NZ politics they're all as bad as one another so choices are limited to rhesus or chimps. :cry: No wonder clowns like this populate polling booths.

I hate that!!! So we know the guy burnt himself a bit, that his mum was upset and the fire chief warned us all not to play with petrol cause its inflammable. Well yeah, yeah we got all that so no need to leave us all hang'in..Did it work?? Did the explosion unblock the bloody vacuum cleaner tube or not??? What ever happed to informed reporting..sheeesh!!

You know if the vacuum cleaner had a reverse cycle you could do it the other way around. Prime up the lint and stuff in the bag, lock her down, switch her on, IGNITION!!! and look out Nelly you'll have a really neat flame thrower. Or perhaps if you block the tube with a spud first and then ignite from the intake BaaaaazzzzzzoooooKKKaaaaaaaahhhhh. Mind you to be on the safe side you would want to wrap the body of the vacuum cleaner with a couple of rolls of masking tape...excessive expansion of the plastic body would diminish the velocity of the projectile. Oh yeah and it could prove to be quite painful as well... :idea:
