Similar, up near Murrurundi on the bike, open face helmet, load of pigs in front..........Iain, I would have been happy if it was a bull.

BUt we are comparing quality with quantity

The quantity may not have been there, but oh my gawd the quality. I'm a bloke who as a kid used to go rabbit shooting in bare feet, a fresh laid cow pat was a foot warmer.

Got drunk, fell asleep in wheelbarrow, mates filled it with sand and water. bastards!

Real mates would have put some cement in too.

I can remember doing that, to feel the warmth oozing up between the toes almost as good as holding a No45

so what does happen? "boom", "woof" or "something more sedate" ?

Boom is what happened. But most of the explosion shot fire upwards and the barrel only kind of came apart a bit. Apparently it took some weeks to grow his hair back though.

the barrel only kind of came apart a bit.

Reminds me of our spud gun. Made from 2" PVA pipe and a spark-plug, used to prime it with WD-40 than bang a spud down. Of course, my bro had to see what happened when ya shoved two spuds down...

A biker mates' "famous last words"... "why won't this @#%$en' barbie light?" as he bent down, lighter in hand. He looked like a wookie for months after.

There were lots of lovely, tanned and toned Miss Adventures out on the boats when I was divemastering .

As for misadventures, I've had a few of those . More than a few of them concern vehicles. I was storing gear in a shed in a friend's backyard. I drove in one day while it was raining just after I'd bought this little Kia 1.5T 4wd "truck". It was running on-road light truck tyres on 4.5" wide (narrow) rims. I drove in and promptly sank in to the rims. Engaged low range 4wd and got nowhere. My previous vehicle was a hilux 4wd with a V8 and monstrous tyres and had no difficulty traversing the yard. Rang a mate who had a cruiser ute to haul me out. He came around and promptly sank into the mire as well. We discovered that there was a natural spring or soak running right through the yard . It took the rest of that day to dig and Tirfor winch the cruiser out, and most of the next day to get my rig out. Of course we discovered halfway through the exercise that my handbrake was still on and low range first was still engaged .

Got some wide rims custom made the next week .
