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.

Probably the explosion, but that still sucks.
I'd rather be hit by an exploding manhole than fall into the sewer.

Break your leg falling... Or lose it by explosion. Hm. tough choice.
Man, Britain just sounds less and less appealing

"I survived an explosion at the cost of my leg" sounds more appealing than "I broke my leg falling into a pit of shit and piss"
at least an exploding manhole would inject some excitement into the average day in Britain
Fucking Watch_Dogs breaking the fourth wall.

I dunno, the police just control detonated a mysterious package near me in Sheffield.
Then I went back to watching paint dry.

Someone have got to put a stop to your brutality at once, you fucking barbarian.

I left the bag in my tea cup

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.

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."

I think it would be better if you said, in a super-serious and scary tone, "MAN-holes."
