Just found a couple of young ladies in Broken Hill for Darwin Awards

Sounds like a goopd sign for the movie !
What would a Mad Max movie be without lots of things blowing up :)

Didn't want to hear what Mike, the abuse or the big bang.................lol

Why didn't he stop the pump??

Why didn't you stop the pump? Who gives a rats if they blow themselves up but think self preservation. Next to every bowser is an E-Stop button which shuts all the pumps down.

Don't be affraid to use it. Having second thoughts might one day be the last thing that goes through your mind.

Fab.

The console operator can stop each pump individually if they wish.
Rather than bang on the window and behave like an idiot just shut the pump down and call them over the P.A. system to tell them to come in.

When I went to pay for my fuel (diesel at the far end pump) there was no one else there.
It was obviously whilst I was walking across to the office that this lady pulled up, started filling whilst using the mobile phone with a cig. in her mouth that the cashier saw her and started banging/yelling about the time I went in the door.
He certainly said nothing about shutting off the bowser whilst he processed my fuel bill. I scuttled as I said, and she was still at the bowser.
Yes, I was concerned about a possible big bang, and the bloke behind the till may not have been all that experienced with the bowser controls.
But I, for one , will be much more aware of how people fill their vehicle.

Mike,
That Woolies in BH must be the most dangerous servo in Oz. I was filling up on the ouside lane with my caravan hooked up. A bloke came around me and backed into the 2nd lane, which blocked others now behind him.
This made it a full really tight stretch of the hose to reach his filler. When he pulled the hose out he kept the trigger pulled and sprayed litres of petrol all over his back window and boot. I got out of there as quickly as possible.
Some people are a worry.

Cheers,
Bill

saw the film crew set up/area when up that way last month, apparently the area is way too green to do the filming just yet. the wild flowers are beautiful out on the roads near Silverton, not the look there after!

Cheers......Browny

Looks like all the rain has not made everybody happy after all.

It's pretty obvious the 12 year old kid is hamming it up for the camera - he's looking right at it!

Plenty of air coming up from the bottom of the disposable plastic poncho (not a plastic bag) as well!

Lots of air coming in from the open hood part of the "bag".

Do you think the kid is going to suffocate under those circumstances on a city street?.

It's not like it's a 4 year old playing with a plastic bag on it's own.

Hardly a Darwin Award!
