to think that people who blow off and set fire to them are mad hatters

[yellowsnow]

Gosh they could get into serious trouble

Not to mention the environmental issues

A lad in my year at school did this whilst we waited in the classroom for your French teacher, who was late...... He set fire to the paint on the radiator and had to be taken to hospital .

But he became a legend in those few seconds and was still talked about in hushed respectful tones by pupils for years afterwards [respect emoticon]

Seem to remember when I were a lass the incredible farting man from the Buxton shunting yard who did this for a living! Always wondered if he carried insurance in case it backfired so to speak.

This is something I've never seen but have always wanted to.

Le Pétomane - the Fartiste - I think he may have started it

see what I mean here
