Garden fire roulette....

The mad neighbours won't mind the smoke?

We did this once (not the stupid petrol part), we'd cut down some lelandii and were having a garden fire and figured we might as well burn them. Smoke so thick you couldn't see, neighbours shouting over the fence, etc, but once they were lit it seemed we'd better let them burn.

So what happens with this type of post then? We are supposed to comment on it like we are pretending it is true or are only people that really believe it is true is allowed to play along?

I find that works best. (e.g.)

It's a bad idea to try to burn green wood

a) it doesn't light very well
b) once you've added the refined oil products, it burns with a lot of smoke.
Have you tried butane (cans of lighter fuel)?

You mean, I nearly boomed?!?!

Street is absolutely smoking, the majority has been nicely burned.

Just enough left for the green wheely bin, aint going to push my luck with my mad neighbours too much!

Wilmsy, you don't have mad neighbours, you are the mad neighbour.

Haven't we established that everything Wilmslow posts is true, he really is the real-life embodiment of Frank Spencer?

Wilmsy, you don't have mad neighbours, you are the mad neighbour.

It's like that film Shrooms

Once the fire took hold, there was no stopping it.

Fantastic plumes of smoke - had so much fun I even burned the contents that fitted into the green wheelie bin.

Both neighbours went out in their cars, so mission accomplished. No more of the kids yelling for attention that the incompetent parents don't give (the 7 year old cried out daddy, you dont spend any time with me last week)

The sooner I start my new job the better I think - I have too much time on my hands just now for my own safety and sanity!!

I do hope Wilmslow stays on the bench. I look forward to the stories of drink driving, running down hells angels on the M62, sliiping roofies into girls drinks, etcetc.

More please!

And the mad bastard is a childline volunteer, the mind ******* boggles, it really does.

Mystery Explosion in Indiana

Suppose that a five gallon container of gasoline tipped over and spilled, then evaporated into a closed space. How much explosive power would it have? Again, the answer is surprising: 700 million joules, equivalent to a 400 pound bomb!

So, playing Sherlock, my best guess is that gasoline spilled in an enclosed space such as a well-insulated midwestern basement, which also accounts for the fact that no one smelled the distinctive aroma of a gas leak.
