So, what's your updated list looking like?

For an Ex EOD sapper, this makes me feel like someone should engineer a pre-birth stupidity test to weed out this sort of thing before it happens.

I've never been in the military, (apart from the army cadets in my youth), but I wouldn't know what a rocket propelled grenade looks like. I once ripped open the end of my finger though on some kind of detenator. I found it in the street, it looked like a torch, without the lens/bulb etc. A long black handle, a wider flat end and on the handle, a spring loaded switch type thing. I just walked up the street flicking the spring loaded bit back and forth, until I eventually pulled the switch to its full length and let go. The wider end blew with a deafening bang. Luckily I had the thing pointing down and away from me at the time, but I did have the index finger of my right hand on it which was slashed wide open. I dropped the thing very quickly and ran away. I was in Salford at the time and had to get a bus back to Bolton, (late night and the trains were off therefore a rail replacement bus was provided). By the time I got back to Bolton an hour later, my finger was still bleeding, so I went to A&E to have it stitched.
I rambled a bit haven't I? anyway my point is that although it sounds like a stupid thing to do, he might not have known what it was and therefore had no reason to suspect the thing was gonna blow up in his face!

I've seen plenty of them on American TV over the last few years......

Am I the only one who suspects that Wobble may have inadvertantly foiled an al-Queda plot of some kind? :D

Way back then it would be more likely to have been IRA! :D

It doesn't matter. You're a hero to the people! :D

:lol: Why thank you ! ;)
And you Kaj are a hero to the HLPeople thanks to your FAQuickfire answers

What kind of test were you thinking of exactly, inserting a grenade into the womb?
I'm not sure that'd go down too well.....
-
Wouldn't an RPG be worth more as a missle than as scrap metal?
-
Wobble, I would've took it home. :nervous:
-
Have many detonators lying around in the UK :confused:

Ask the football teams (soccer)... I'm sure they'd be the first to know. :D

I knew Man U vs Wolverhampton could be bad, but grenades? Damn, those blokes did upgrade...

Heres what it looks like, Wobble.

Kind of hard to mistake it for something harmless.

Thanks for that, if I see one in the street I'll make sure to leave it alone! :lol:
Incidentally, the detonator I found was on the main road up to Old Trafford, (Manchester Uniteds Football Stadium for those who don't know), I wonder if that had anything to do woth it? ;7
