Yes, I can't believe anybody was so stupid!
And.... be careful!! Did you know at least 40 people in North America have been crushed by toppling vending machines which can weigh more than 900lb when fully stocked.

and I've just read this strange news item.......
A 10-year-old girl was murdered by a 14-year-old classmate for her iPod in India.
The boy is accused of pushing her off a 30-foot bridge then climbing down and strangling her.
Swapan Banerjee, the officer in charge of the local police station in Seuri, West Bengal said: "It was a murder with intention. He murdered her in anger because she refused to part with the gadget."
A recent boom in the economy has brought benefits to millions of middle-class Indians, but has simultaneously exposed simmering discontents as inequalities soar and aspirations rise.
"We were always worried about students bringing such gadgets to the school," said Tanmay Ghosh, the headmaster of the school that both children attended.
"We have issued several notices and given enough warnings asking them not to bring iPods and cell phones to class."
The boy, who tried to hide the body behind a bush, was arrested, Mr Banerjee said. If convicted of murder, he could be sent to a juvenile detention centre for up to 10 years.

Now thats stupid. Is the ipod really worth it? I think for murder, & not just an accident, he should get tried as an adult. He proved intent by strangling her after pushing her.

You will just have to put up with our rain. Then there will be the cold frosty mornings and the long dark nights. Sounding better all the time, eh?
And watch out for the bangers on bonfire night!

Here are the top nine comments made by NBC sports commentators so far during the Summer Olympics that they would like to take back:
1. Weightlifting commentator: 'This is Gregorieva from Bulgaria. I saw her
Snatch this morning during her warm up and it was amazing.'
2. Dressage commentator: 'This is really a lovely horse and I speak from
Personal experience since I once mounted her mother.'
3 . Paul Hamm, Gymnast: 'I owe a lot to my parents, especially my mother and father.'
4. Boxing Analyst: 'Sure there have been injuries, and even some deaths in
Boxing, but none of them really that serious.'
5. Softball announcer: 'If history repeats itself, I should think we can
Expect the same thing again.'
6. Basketball analyst: 'He dribbles a lot and the opposition doesn't like
It. In fact you can see it all over their faces.'
7. At the rowing medal ceremony: 'Ah, isn't that nice, the wife of the IOC
President is hugging the cox of the British crew.'
8. Soccer commentator: 'Julian D.i.c.k.s is everywhere. It's like they've got
Eleven D.i.c.k.s on the field.'
9. Tennis commentator: 'One of the reasons Andy is playing so well is that,
Before the final round, his wife takes out his balls and kisses them... Oh
My God, what have I just said?'

very funny, thanks Dave.
a guy called David Coleman was so well known for saying similar things on English tv that these type of quotes became known as 'Colemanballs'
Here's a few of his;
"There goes Juantorena down the back straight, opening his legs and showing his class" (David Coleman at The Montreal Olympics)
Moses Kiptanui - the 19 year old Kenyan, who turned 20 a few weeks ago" (David Coleman)
and from other commentators.....
'If England are going to win this match, they're going to have to score a goal.'
(Jimmy Hill - BBC)
'Beethoven, Kurtag, Charles Ives, Debussy - four very different names.'
(Presenter, BBC Proms, Radio 3)
Kilroy-Silk: 'Did you mean to get pregnant?'
Girl: 'No. It was a c*o*c*k-up.'
Grand National winning jockey Mick Fitzgerald: 'Sex is an anti-climax after that!'
Desmond Lynam: 'Well, you gave the horse a wonderful ride, everyone saw that.'
we could go on..........
