Un Grande Explosion
A friend of mine has some unfortunate traits in that he will often make facetious comments and will not stand to be corrected. If posted a photo on FB his comment would be first and regular in its negative content. So I defriend and explain that since he wont or cant stop this sort of stuff its best that this avenue is suspended. He understands and agrees that since we usually meet at the pub we can chat there and its all OK - must be the Social Worker in me. I've also seen him in what nearly was a huge fight because of the same reason with other people. Time to leave the pub? I'm gone but he will drag his feet until he is gripped by the doorman. He takes stuff to bits for repair and its still in bits a month later. Repairing a CRT telly - knocks the tip off the tube - no vacuum in the tube and no more telly. Got a second house and doing it up, still unlived in after 5 years. Need I go on?
But that isn't the tale, oh no.
Years back we knew a couple who had their own spacious house and outside there was a clear roof lean-to along the exterior wall that was convenient to hang out washing in. Also present various car and bike parts and a large battery. He sees this and decides to handle the vent pipe of the battery and apply a lit flame to said pipe to "See if there would be a small flame or funny noise". . . . BOOM... The battery blew up and as he put it "Lots of holes appeared in the washing that was hung up". Apparently they were still friends after this - must've been Hippies.
