What a plank.
My friend used to do this with a deoderant can and lighter... I actually wondered for a second if this was going to be him. LOL

For all those people in the world who moan about health and safety procedures, paying for firefighter call outs and the over protection of a 'nanny state' you can thank people like this. Unbelievably stupid, now if you don't mind I am going to go and do some weeding with a JCB and a flame thrower.

I've flown from one side of this galaxy to the other. I've seen a lot of strange stuff, but I've never seen anything to make me believe there's one all-powerful Force controlling everything.

A friend of mine at university tried to shoot a spider with an air pistol and instead shot is housemate in the knee. I am pleased to report that the spider escaped unharmed.

Jesus... You can't kill spiders with fire. Everyone knows that.
You must eat them.

Why have a blow-torch if you can't get stoned/drunk and burn stuff you shouldn't be burning?
Was only a wee fire, anyway.
