Remember, remember, the fifth of November...

With fireworks up the bot.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/wear/6132140.stm for the link to a mind-boggling tale. A chap of the age of twenty-two decided it would be a fine idea to use him bum as a launch tube for something called a 'Black Cat' firework. As you may expect, this had lamentable results.

Well, for him, anyway. Many parents are pointing this out to children as why you shouldn't play with fireworks.

I heard about this on the 11am news on BBC Radio 2 this morning. It was the last item on the news broadcast, and it was incredible. The newsreader couldn't finish the bulletin for laughter.

Now there's a "tail" for the Darwin Awards. . .

Moron blows his ass up

I assume alcohol was somehow involved?

They were teasing the newsreader (John Marsh) on the Terry Wogan show this morning as well. I have to say, I don't blame him one bit - we all nearly wet ourselves laughing at that one in the office, and we didn't have to read it out on the national news !

SOmehow I get the feeling all the emergency services involved in this incident were killing themselves trying not to laugh at this moron.
