    obscure news story no3

    a 77 year old man spent xmas eve stuck upside down in the opening of his septic tank with his head inside and his feet kicking in the air above. Robert Schoff reached into the tank in an effort to find a clog, but lost his balance and became wedged in the opening. 'it wasn't good, I'll tell you what' Schoff said on Tuesday. 'It was the worst xmas I've ever had' He was found by his wife who walked past and saw his feet in the air.

    what about this one then.......


    Six injured by exploding fondue set.....

    Three people were taken to hospital with serious burns after a gas-powered fondue set exploded.
    Firefighters and three ambulance crews administered first aid at the house.

    A small fire around the fondue set, which was powered by a small gas cylinder, was already out by the time they arrived.


    A spokesperson for South Central Ambulance Service said: "They all had burns of varying degrees and three were very seriously injured.

    She added: "This is unusual"

    i got a chocolate fountain ffs. you have to put about 8 blocks of chocolate in it and then dip strawberries and stuff in it as it flows. Then you have to clean it which involves blocking the sink with about 2 kg of solidifying wasted chocolate. whoever invented that should be stuffed in a septic tank for life IMO:mad: :mad: :mad:

    after catering for few functions which wanted a chocolate fountain - you come to know the tricks of the trade.

    2 bars of asda's ownbrand chocolate with a cup of veg oil in melted in the micro for a minute. bang it in and it wont solidify at all (well - at least for a week).

    apart from that its proper tack that should wiped from the face of our condesending, gadget driven world.

    right am off for a run with me ipod.
