Beetle will understand.   Then again,  when the tsunami hit, the US was blasted worldwide.   Sorry, but I'm sick of the double standard.   <> to the injured.

Nilsen, I ain't mad at you, trust me.  <> Nils.  I was being sarcastic with the initial post, not making light of the injured.  I'm not that sick in the head.

I knew you were beeing sarcastic, but having not seen the other thread I just wanted an explenation on what was going on. :)

Aint mad at you either

Over the years I have only been _really_ provoked once in here, but thats a long time ago and I doubt anyone (least of all the provoker :D ) understood that he really got under my skin.

In total, 20 petrol tanks were involved in the fire, each said to hold three million gallons of fuel.

It's amazing and fortunate nobody was killed outright in a blast that size!

Obviously this fire will have an economic effect in terms of property damage, but what effect will the potential loss of up to 60 million gallons of fuel have on consumers at the pump?

I'm not saying that we ban em but....

Perhaps a large tax on their posts?

Foreigners bring value, Laz, so the tax should be named appropriately.  Like, say, some sort of "Value Added" tax.

happened at 6am, doubt it very much.  unless they get cctv footage from the industrial estate it is on.

the 2nd and 3rd ones were miniscule compared to the first, i think they were caught on tape.

it is an absolute miracle that no one was killed.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to have it be a value removed tax??
