Lawnmower warning

[tim the pool man]

This one was posted in the HSV forum but I thought it deserved a wider audience...

[wiffmaster]

God, I do love the Aussies! Reckon that's the most exciting thing that's ever happened in Mt. Gambier though (however, their big Blue Lake is beautiful)

Cleaning your lawnmower (petrol no less) in a bedroom???

When smoking? What was she smoking???

[sammyd]

She is warning the community against cleaning a lawn mower in a bedroom whilst smoking?!?!?!

I am glad I read that because that is exactly what I was going to do tonight.

[mrmr96]

I like the irony of setting fire to your self by dropping a lit cigarette, and then being treated for...












smoke inhalation

[Blue Meanie]

Erm.. Certainly looks like a joke article to me...

[thinfourth2]

If it was the UK she would of sued someone and then got compensation. Meanwhile the government would ban the sales of lawnmowers

You'll be OK, unless like her, you like setting things alight and getting caught

[Sprouts]

that lawnmower had no right to be in her bedroom. hang the mower.

[jeff m]

She has a large vibrating motor in the bedroom.
I was just cleaning it, yea right.

I'm sure some of you are not paying attention.

[ASBO]

Watch out, he'll get ya!

[Hollywood Wheels]

This has to be a wind up, surely? It's like some spoof article from Viz.

[SLacKer]

I'm ok as my lawnmower is electric and I don't smoke.....


so I can safely go ahead and clean it in my bedroom

[Adrian W]

so how would you get you tractor into the bedroom and then turn it upside down

[bazking69]

Braindead.

"She'd been convicted of arson before but this time it was an accident."

Yeah, yeah...

[mechsympathy]

Is that warning specific to mowers? Or would it be unwise to clean my petrol chainsaw in doors, while smoking?

The headline should have said:

Arsonist in playing with petrol and matches shocker

[fastfreddy]

Does this apply to electric lawnmowers?

You cant light petrol with a ciggarette. Massive hole in her story !

That's twice I've seen this thread listed and mis-read the title as 'lawnmower racing'. No, I don't know why either. Still, I think their should be a PH lawnmower racing thread...
