I'm sure they employ cleaners and the like too....

I was thinking of maybe a cushy job like Health and Safety manager or something...I probably wouldn't make enough as a cleaner...then again...If I had to clean them big tower things I suspect I'd make plenty as they'd huge..and probably dirty.

You could be a lighthouse cleaner.  Although there are probably as many of them in Nottingham as there are nuclear power stations.

As long as someone is paying me a decent salary and it's close to DtD and i can tell people I'm a physisicist of some sort..I'm good.

Here's where to apply dear - perhaps I could dye my hair blue and learn how to do housework as well...

I think there's more chance of me becoming a nucular physisicist.

I've never met Mrs Boldie, but I think we'd get on very well!

Has the bomb been sorted out Kin?

It's not a bomb we've found out, it's a 'volatile gas cannister'.  We still weren't allowed back to our house last night, but they reckon we might be later today.

Apparently, the cannister is in the hole that was being dug by some utility company, and on Monday evening someone turned up with cutting gear and tried to nick it!!  The fire and police told us that whoever tried to cut through the copper piping/cabling generated a lot of heat and that's what's caused the cannister to become dangerously volatile. 

Or something like that...

Up to 17 homes had to be evacuated in Staffordshire after metal thieves set a gas cylinder on fire.

Police said they believed the criminals started the blaze to help them detach lengths of industrial cable left on the side of Pennymoor Road, Tamworth.

People living in the road were told to leave their homes on Monday night amid fears the cylinder would explode.

They will not be able to return before at least 2100 BST until the cylinder has cooled down.

A 660ft (200m) exclusion zone was set up around the site.

Alan Bateman, of Staffordshire Fire Service, said crews had been called to the road at about 2100 BST on Monday.

He said the situation had been "like dealing with a bomb".

A spokesman for Staffordshire Police, which said the cable was worth about £10,000, urged anyone with information about the incident to contact them.

It was more exciting when it was an unexploded bomb

so true.

the article can be summarised in 4 words, 'small fire, nothing happened'.

Up to 17 homes had to be evacuated

and that's just lazy journalism, when the number is that small they could find out exactly how many it was while waiting for nothing to happen instead of just guessing

[booder]

are there 17 homes in your cul-de-sac Kin?

[cia260895]

gas cannisters can be just as lethal as bombs especially when they are subjected to a heat source.

When i was an apprentice they showed us a video of a propane bottle inside a house exploding and it nigh on totally demolished the whole house.It is the reaon why when there is a fire in or near  gas cannisters they normally give it 24 hours to cool off before allowing anyone re-entering the zone.

Up to 17...

serious question, how do i take a 'print screen' shot?  Cant get it to work, is the keyboard not installed properly?

[Bongo]

hitting print screen copies the contents of the clipboard, you then need to paste that into a graphics program.
