Erin, you should always wear a helmet and protective goggles when you're plugging in a popcorn machine!

Then best leave it be getwom. Leave it to the experts. As we have seen it can be dangerous.
Nearly as bad as getting caught in the bacon slicer.

I don't eat popcorn unless is has nothing on it. I got hybrid popcorn and Yallow popcorn from my sister.

No and no getwom.
You may have noticed that the weetabix biscuit has had the corners rounded off for safety reasons.

They should round the corners off on Shredded Wheats and Cussons Imperial Leather too!

Well if that's how they pop popcorn how do they puff rice.
Replied: 11th Jan 2009 at 22:43

Rice crispies have the sound added so they can't sneak up on you.

They don't have popcorn incidents though.
Or do they?
Replied: 11th Jan 2009 at 23:29

I've just studied that newsreel and was shocked at what I saw. Yon weasel was lying in the road after (presumably) being hit by the car. What's the copper do? He shifts him.
I've seen the Bill and that's not how it's done. Shows what badgers know.
Replied: 11th Jan 2009 at 23:36

Having watched the film again myself i am pleased that PC Badger had fully assessed the situation and was happy that young weasel was not in any danger and took the appropriate action and moved the youngster to a safer spot.
I would like to thank Mollie for bringing this to our attention as this could have gone unnoticed for several years.There are now multiple speed bumps at the road in question and a number of SLOW signs at varying locations in the area.

Only too happy to assist where I can!

That lad was injured. PC (I'm no doctor) Badger said Willie had been hurt and wouldn't be able to play for a long time. Look at his face as he has to sit down on the pavement.
Good job there were no Accident Group adverts on at the same time as this was broadcast.
pS Thanks mollie. Were you there by any chance?

I did the filming!
Replied: 12th Jan 2009 at 00:06

Injured yes and certainly hurt, but no serious trauma was evident, and the PC did his duty to the full as would any descent citizen. I would at this point like to say the look on young Willie's face is more of a look of disappointment at not being able to "to play for a long time" than any injury suffered in the accident, which i may add was caused by the weasel by not taking his surroundings into consideration.
I now propose that no further action should be taken against PC. Badger in this case.
May i also add that "Buttering up" the witness by the opposition will not be accepted.
Replied: 12th Jan 2009 at 00:11

I've been had.
Further images on that link show tht this was not the only time Master Weasel was involved in a RTA. The other incident involved an ice-cream van and a suspiciously similar car. The fraud squad have been informed. I am now concerned about the signage on the back of ice-cream vans. Mind that child hardly prepares you for a five foot weasel jumping out at you.
The Council will be told.
I'm sure there was a film with the weasel on crutches.

Willie seems to be a bit prone to accidents, in't he? I wonder how long he's spent in hospital!
Replied: 12th Jan 2009 at 00:37

Typical. Just typical. Mutual backslapping, even three cheers for PC Badger.
Who spotted it? Who smelled a rodent? (I hope that last bit isn't incriminating, it's not illegal these days).
