With hindsight, this might have been asking for trouble:

A bus driver changing a tyre has escaped unhurt after the vehicle burst into flames.

The 45-seat kaBOOM party bus was on its way to collect schoolchildren for an excursion when a tyre burst, near Mallala on Adelaide's northern outskirts.

The driver managed to pull over safely and was attempting to change the tyre when fire erupted.

Country Fire Service crews took half an hour to put out the blaze, which destroyed the bus which had a KABOOM1 numberplate.

Am I a bad person for finding this funny?

1 -- model looks like it's made of goat cheese, which is ew. (no offense Griff)

2 -- what was the thing made of that burned so vigorously, holy fire? paper mache?

3 -- commentary (picture) more commentary (more pics) can be done with up to four images per post by using the attach images / paperclip thingy. I'll find a post for an example.

That was tasty! Thanks Griff. I'd like to revise my previous statement. That model looks like some goat cheese I had once, and that goat cheese was definitely ew. It was molded (lol) in a truncated cone, about the size and shape of a Yoplait yogurt container, and very hard. I won't get that one again.

I kid that it was made of marshmallows and styrofoam. Apparently styrofoam isn't far from the truth. Looking back I had to laugh because driving by I just thought it was a giant marble structure. How dumb of me? Can you imagine the cost, the weight of such a rock? D'oh!

I know, classic, ain't that awesome?

Oh, bigv, when I tried that all I got were little red x boxes with the names of the files in them, when I 'previewed' the post.

They even look tasty!
Lovely dappled scales and all that.

I forgot to take a photo, but was pleased with a sign outside the only independent butcher left in town "Meat Shortage Due! Please Panic Buy!"

Made me grin widely. 'Cept I won't buy from them after that butcher was very rude to me the other year.

Explanation if needed:
(Not of his rudeness, of the sign) Panic buying ensued at petrol pumps after tanker drivers threatened a strike. Like a run on a bank, the panic was fuelled [sic] by word of mouth, irresponsible media coverage and a laughable Govt response which advised people to buy and store fuel (?!) in jerry cans. Which is illegal and can be highly dangerous.

So you won't let rude guys give you any meat. Good to know.

Well, I won't pay for it anyway. I'd have taken a pound of sausage if he'd slipped it to me gratis.

As evidenced by the fact that within 48 hours of issuing said advice a woman set herself on fire transferring fuel from a jerry can.

Well... she wasn't told to do it in her kitchen. With the gas stove on.
Even I might want to give Francis Maude a pass on that.

How much did his parents hate him BTW? At least give him a butch first name FFS! Like Hilary.
