Just got a shock... the loudest bang ever heard in my home just happened. I think if my dog had a fur coat, it would have all fallen out instantly. :D

A cigarette lighter left on top of our oven which my wife is cooking escargot in... EXPLODED!!!! It shattered into bits all over my kitchen... and another cigarette lighter placed on top of it... was also sent flying.

Needless to say, my wife who was cooking at the stove, froze in shock and I had to spend some time comforting her and chiding her at the same time! :lol:

Harry hid under the kitchen table and trembled... LOL!!!

Any, looking forward to a great dinner... rosti & escargot... wonder what else will be served... but I was shooed out of the kitchen shortly after... heheh.. just sharing!

thats pretty dangerous. lucky no one got hurt or blinded by the metallic peices

It's one of those cheap 50 cents lighter, colourful transparent plastic body... the only metal bits were the top part with the round flint wheel.

Wooming... hello... what's so farnie about my dog hiding? It was loud enough for me to scare me, when I was in my study and she was in the kitchen with the door closed. :pirate:

Oh well... dinner was excellent! :wub:

My guess was the gas expanded when it got too hot and caused the plastic body to explode when the pressure got too great.

Damn goodness it didn't cause a fire... but I guess it's considered a freak accident.

Maybe I can show Harry as botak, hair burnt off and then use the insurance money to get him a mate! :eyebrow:
