Gas blast in Lincolnshire

[ecowarm]

Mr Lawley said Mr and Mrs Moody had smelled gas and went searching for the source of the leak

This is Grimsby | Nettleton gas blast couple treated for burns after roof lifted from home

 

[GQuigley67]

wonder if they went searching for the leak with a lighter

A torch would have been no use:speechless:

dont know,we should have a brainiac style experiment :1: wheres the caravan LOL

 

[GQuigley67]

now that would be fun !!

 

[tamz]

Well curiosity got the better of me so i looked it up. Chances are it would ignite it but i wouldn't like to try it personally. Anyway i'm still aff the ****!

Fuels and Chemicals - Auto Ignition Temperatures

What is the temperature at the tip of a lit cigarette?

 

[GQuigley67]

I never knew a lit *** could potentially reach 700 degrees !!!

 

[tamz]

That is probably why they use them as a method of torture :tt1:

 

[GQuigley67]

I thought it would be around 400 degrees, still enough to burn ye lol

 

[tamz]

I knew it was much hotness. Had a *** end stuck between my fingers a few times when the *** sticks to your lips.

When i was doing back boiler installs constantly in the 80's the calluses on my hands were so hard i could stub a *** out on them (quite slowly) without feeling it. (daft party trick:wacko

I knew an old plumber back in the 80s who could wipe a lead joint with his thumb

Another warning can be printed on the ****:
Smoking can destroy your house!
Lucky escape though.

That would have been a finger wipe

a lit *** wont ignite gas but a match will or lighter

 

[stevetheplumber]

its an amazing fact that hot lead in your hand makes you an expert juggler

my mate was walking down the road smoking a *** and the local nutter pulled up on his new 750 motorbike ,me mate got on the back after putting the helmet on , he was siting on the back with the freshly lit *** sticking out, Then the guy hits a clear piece of road and opened it up ,my mate was hanging on for dear life and the end of his *** went into his helmet giving him a nice scar

 

[GQuigley67]

a lit *** wont ignite gas but a match will or lighter

that's what i thought i thought it was the spark that ignites it not the *** or the actual light from the lighter, will have to post that into mythbusters see if they'll do an episode on it lol

 

[gasmarc]

well thats what I was always led to believe , I will have to try it someday lol
