:eek::eek::eek::eek: Just went out side to shut my dogs up.... One had got loose and was doing the BBQ over.:mad:
What are the odds of this, he somehow turned the gas bottle on and when I hit the light you guessed it:o No pics yet as will be an insurance matter.
I have lost a bit more hair and few minor burns. Broken glass and lord knows what else as dark.. Went off like a flash then settled down to a low burn. What a mess:mad: My ears hurt now:(

Odds are good, I have had worse happen as a fire fighter. My ears are now ringing a little. No worse than a gun shot.
Burns are only mild on my hands and side of face. Now have ice. One thing about gas, its quick. Not as bad as a fuel of oil burn.

That sounds painful, and I should know!!!
Offender90 and I had a similar experience. He drained a petrol tank in my shed, then 24 hrs later I turned on the bore pump (bore is under the shed floor). 40 kg bore cover shot up 2m in the air.
2L of aloe vera gel later and I was feeling OK - apart from looking like an olympic cyclist.

And on the subject of flying pit covers......... wasn't the first man made object placed in orbit a manhole cover that got blown there during A bomb testing in the US during WW2? Supposedly still being tracked in orbit?

Ok, anyone seen this dog.;);)

The flamin mutt is fine, bit timid for some reason
Lucky my wife and older daughter was in away for the night in Sydney. May have been them that got caught out and could have been much worse.
OK, here is what may have happened. The BBQ was apparently only turned off at the bottle and not at the burners. The Dog was working at the fat tin and some may have splashed over the gas bottle. The dog then licks and chew at the tap and cracked it on a tad. Being a cool still night the LPG hung around as we have a retaining wall on one side and a return wall on the house two sides. The light was a 500w halogen Jobie, must have arked on the end of the globe.
Thinking back, I could smell the LPG a little but all happen at once. eg, I opened the door and hit the light together.
Bit of broken glass and a few things got torched. Haven't found the lid off the BBQ yet:eek: Not sure what to tell my wife when she gets home.... Hi honey, I blew up the BBQ :confused: She will freak out a bit, that's for sure.
Have to laugh now, My missus tried to renovate the garage with the MJ a wile back:D Now I have tried to blow it up! Thats one all.:twisted:
The insurance mob seem OK, had to write a statement etc. If the house had burnt down may have been treated as suspicious though. Not sure if they want to interview the dog yet :p
Turn your gas appliances off properly in future and this wouldn't happen :(

Can't understand why people own dogs other than working and guard dogs. No ****** use at all in a modern society. All they do is turn dog food into dog poo. Dogs are less useful than horses which do still receive a little use as a working animal even though they became obsolete about 1930.

I don't understand why people continue with archaic babble from yesteryear either, which became practically obsolete around the same era;)

And another strikes!:eek:
Wandered home in 6" of mud and water, found the power had tripped out. Reset and pop, pop etc:mad: Knocked all the circuits out to find the fault.
Another dog pulled his tie out picket out and ventured into my back shed where he proceeded to do some electrical work:o Lucky to be alive for two reasons now:twisted: Even had a live extension lead wrapped up in his chain, riped the arse out of my battery charger etc. :mad:
Time to build some dog motels here I think;)

Tony, I think your dogs are trying to tell you something.

28th July 2010, 07:54 PM
Cold, wet, hungry, bored etc etc. They get very exited if any unusual movment and can snap the tie out chains if worn!
They ain't comin inside, not thirteen of them:eek:

13 of them:cool::cool::cool::cool:
I bet they are real effecient at turning food into poo;);););)
Have actually started wanting another dog since Toby departed.Not real fair on a dog here,I dont have fences to keep them in.Toby was brought up on a chain so it wasnt much of an issue,wouldnt do it to another dog.He was old and deaf laying in the sunand didnt hear the Rangie reversing.
When I was on the farm I ended up building them some very good kennels,they even went in before lock up time when it was cold and wet.
When the foxes got brave and started coming in for the chooks the dogs would go nuts during the nite,the foxes new the dogs were locked up and the chooks were fair game.Trick was to put them in the kennels but not chain the doors.Was a mauled fox every time proudly dragged up to the farm ute.

Sounds like you need to either (or both) give them some more work or upgrade your chains!

When we move to the other house they will have dog motels with a long run:cool: I work them in shifts as this country is hard on the poor buggers. Always have a few fresh the next day this way.
Should see what happens when I let all the lot off at once:twisted: Have to use the universal dog name. Come here "**** ya".:D
