If a bloke laid a cable in my backyard to avoid flushing the toilet I'd be glad if a snake bit him. Darwin award. NZ should be jealous.

Well to be fair.... 3 weeks ago i had no water for about a week. Couldnt flush my toilet for about 10 days.... Forecast kept promosing rain, so i kept not paying $100 for a load of water. I live 35mins from Hobart. But I hear what your saying. :)

I stand corrected on the water. There's an article in the Mercury today that puts the whole story into doubt anyway.

""I went into the garden at four in the morning after a night in the pub to save flushing the toilet, because water is precious in the outback," Scott told British tabloid The Sun."

Umm, where was he? There is no "outback" around here, and no water issues either.

I call bull *&%$#!. If a tiger snake bit him there I reckon he'd have a bit more to say. My bets are on a white lip. Or his mate.

Remember that wasted opportunity you had a few weeks ago? you so should have left ILUV a present.
