Just popped out for a lunchtime kebab and gave the striking firemen at my local station a nice fly-by followed by a large helping of dumpvalve.

They looked like they were freezing to death sat there.

Mmmmmmmmm....warm office.

Fly-by, high revs to get the 'ptssssh' in what was probably a 30mph zone <shakes head>

Flame suit on mate

I drove past a fire station and the idiots had set light to an oil drum, were feeding it with bits of wood and watching it burn !!!!! Who would they call upon if it got out of hand, and what sort of an example does it give to the arsonists. No wonder the army are busy - putting out the firefighters fires.

I desperatly want to pull up outside our fire station with a big fire extinguisher and put their oil drum fire out

I'm sure I'll get a kicking if I do.

Cheers

Or put some petrol on it, as no lives would be in danger would they cross the picket line & put it out ???? Only one way to find out

I don't think that there is any mileage in antagonising these Firemen. They consider that they have a valid grievance (which is why they are out on strike). When the dispute is settled, will you still regard them with contempt ?. When the Miners strike was on Arthur Scargill was pilloried for standing up to the government by the Sun and other rags (they were striking against the pit closures BTW). Maggie broke them, and Lo and Behold we now don't have a Coal industry anymore. Be careful what you wish for.

PS I think that they are unrealistic in their demands but if their right to strike or union membership was taken from them (like the GCHQ members back in the 80's), everyone would say that the Government is out of order. The problem with the Labour Government is that because they are funded by the Unions, They are seen as a soft touch by them, hence the winter of discontent back in the late 70's. The Labour party is only looking after their own corner (what else do you expect them to do ?)

they looked surprised when i flew past with flames coming out the bag of the Super Drager. didnt see any effort to come and put them out tho.

IWatkins: I bet if you let your local paper, or the Sun know b4hand, they'd be there to photograph you getting that kicking.LOL

Before you all start falling out I think a bit of clarification is required. My point was that I was in my warm car, with a huge kebab and on my way back to my cosy office while they were stood around in the cold (And look like rain soon) with only a small oildrum fire.

Thats all

So its the firemen responsible for leaving bins in the middle of the road, god that's dangerous, someone from here could crash into them....

Imagine that a dented alight dustbin.......DANGEROUS or what...

Best these firemen get back to work..............

AndiThompson

Dunk, go and pour some petrol on a fire and see if your lifes at risk mate

Kebabs 4 Lunch, Ok after 6 pints of finest at the end of a night out, but not really a 'lunchtime snack'.
Its like eating cornflakes for tea !.

jasonwrxowner

It was a choice between a Chicken and Mushroom pot noodle or a large mixed kebab.........

The defence rests.

paul-s

I stand by that. Kebabs are great. And if I could i would have one for lunch. Not gonna trek 11 miles tho.

nothing better than tucking into a fat pitta. anyone like a slice of cheese with their kebab ? thats munch.

on Virgin radio they have some loony dressed as a green goddess (not the truck type) just in a green dress i reckon. Yesterday he ran up to a bunch of striking fireman and did actually use a fire extinguisher to put out their oil drum and then legged singing ( iam the greeeeeen godddess ) most amusing to listen to.

Luke

They dont look happy do they!!

ScoobyJawa

Sounds very much like Bracknell fire station.
In a 60 zone - just off the lights, oil drum with wood fire.

Our local FFs are stopping traffic at a roundabout, then while one leans in the car to explain about the strike, another crafty ****** is sticking a "I support the FBU" sticker on the back of the car [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] My colleague had too use a wallpaper scraper to remove the sticker (from a G reg Astra Diesel). Grrrr.

turboteeth10

that sucks [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img] if they did that to me I'd report them to the police [img]images/smilies/mad.gif[/img]
