    No it isn't, it's a B&Q water butt - 40 gallon capacity, £14.95 with OAP discount if purchased on a Wednesday

    Exactly what he said. The belly band is the big give away. 500lb charge case.

    I didn't attend his funeral but wrote a nice letter saying I approved of it.

    In a fraction of a second they are projected into eternity and will never possess a final resting home.
    They have graves without bodies, they are an exceptional breed of people....

    Hmm ... bit worrying ... if we then have to assume it is live ... then the SWAT man laying prone next to it had better hope whoever he's sniping at doesn't decide to snipe back! 500lb charge going off in his left lug will certainly give him a headache!
