Dont want to know that he was lucky. I just want to hear he has blown his moronic self up. Where is it going to end?

To be honest I sort of agree that if you're stupid enough to do something like that I'm not going to loose much sleep over the consequences - it's natural self-selection in my book.

Only problem I have with that is some poor b*****d has to clean up the mess.

Must admit Bubs, I never thought of that. Yes always a down side to every job aint there.
Paul.

And the trains get delayed while the "mess" is cleaned up!:eek:
