like Metal Mickey in drag

Though i can think of nothing better than setting ablaze a life size metal barbie doll it is the fosters drinking aussi style "throw those shrip on the barbie" style fuel drum i am after.

hehe

I have a big stack of empty ones from filling up the digger, wouldn’t want to cook with them

Dead easy too and no nasty diesel / oil fumes.

If your after an empty drum you might struggle as i kno the ones we have at work have a £20 surcharge on them if you dont return them.

you would need to fill it with water or use some other means to ensure it is empty before instroducing mr grinder to it.
