snip never mind
Damnit Aiden.
Tory policies causing more problems, due to the private companies running our water cutting corners. This is what happens when you privatise essential services
If I ever happen to see a manhole explode, I will make a point of shaking my head, tutting, and muttering 'Bloody typical. That's the third time this week.' under my breath.
And I thought the time I almost fell through an uncovered manhole at night was bad. One of my legs suddenly plunged and fortunately I caught myself. I'm not sure which is worse.
That's some explosive poop :v:
I was gonna make a gay sex joke but this is pretty tragic.

I'd rather be hit by an exploding manhole than fall into the sewer.

Man, Britain just sounds less and less appealing [editline]14th July 2014[/editline] [QUOTE=NoobieWafer223;45390948]Break your leg falling... Or lose it by explosion.

at least an exploding manhole would inject some excitement into the average day in Britain
Fucking Watch_Dogs breaking the fourth wall.

Not as sexy as I was hoping
[QUOTE=ZyreHD;45390602]That's some explosive poop :v:[/QUOTE]It does say underground cables in the OP such as electricity or telephone. I don't think it's a sanitary sewer.

[QUOTE=sa2fan;45392694]It does say underground cables in the OP such as electricity or telephone. I don't think it's a sanitary sewer.[/QUOTE] It would explain the explosion, build of of gasses from the shit and a spark from an exposed wire and KABLOOWY.
[QUOTE=Swilly;45393006]It would explain the explosion, build of of gasses from the shit and a spark from an exposed wire and KABLOOWY.[/QUOTE]Definitely because of electrical cables. Gas pipes make it worse though. Rainwater is also the culprit.
Would probably be awkward if you lost a leg and one day ended up sitting next to a veteran and he gave you a knowing nod and was like: "Iraq or Aghanistan?" And the only thing you could say back is, "Worse, London."
