Lava Lamp Fatality

[Andrew Gabriel]

I bet you never thought lava lamps could be fatal (ignoring any electrocution risk that is)? Neither did this guy, no doubt...

Jeff Foxworthy could almost use that in his Redneck routine.

Talk about old 'news', but then the idiot was trying to heat the thing up on a stove for some unknown reason !

[Andy Hall]

Lava him than me :-)

[Andy Hall]

Oh, Lurch, how could you be so heartless - there's been a death here.

I couldn't decide whether this was a Darwin situation, but decided that the mention of "trailer" gave the game away.

[Hugo Nebula]

I guess you aren't aware of the forthcoming Part P² of the Building Regulations, which will control the installation of novelty lighting items (Lava Lamps, Plasma Balls, Christmas Tree Lights, etc.).

[Andy Hall]

If there could be something that would effectively outlaw chaser lights on the front of houses, santa edifices on the lawn, sleighs with reindeer on the roof and any commercial activity related to Christmas before the 21st December, then if Building Control were to take up the challenge I would happily vote for shoot on sight. No nonsense, just a cull.

Oh and sugary carols on the radio from December 1st.

[Mary Fisher]

You're a miserable old git.

And so am I. But I would shoot at any time before midnight on 24 December and after 1 January.

Then I'd shoot Easter egg displays - hey! That could be fun :-)

Myself and SWMBO would like to sign up for this hunt. Any limitations on allowed weapon types?

[Paul Herber]

You'd hurt chocolate?

[The Natural Philosopher]

Yup. Dogs are banned EXCEPT TO FLUSH THE PREY OUT M'LUD :-)

And no, my dogs didn't MEAN to break the foxes neck, honest mlud,any more tham Mr Blair MEAN'T to deceive the public over Iraq... and you can see the bullet in the fox in a fatal place, so he WAS dead when the dogs ripped his guts out and ate (most of) them...honest m'lud...

[Andy Hall]

I can think of a place near here where the heavy artillery of your spud gun would be useful.

[Andy Hall]

I'm getting a Victor Meldrew starter kit for Christmas, apparently.

We could keep the troops in place from Christmas, since these will be in the shops from January 2nd, along with the Valentines Day cards.

[Bob Eager]

I think someone has been active in these parts with a BB or similar. There are an awful lot of deflated inflatables (IYSWIM).

[Mary Fisher]

Spouse is at this moment checking the strings on our longbows ...

[Grunff]

I'm trying to figure out a way of launching burning spuds (pre-soaked in brandy, for a little extra Christmas cheer). That should help a lot with the lawn and roof ornaments.

[Mary Fisher]

I wouldn't hurt GOOD chocolate.

Well, only by biting it!
