Two Star Wars fans are in a critical condition in hospital after apparently trying to make light sabres by filling fluorescent light tubes with petrol.
A man, aged 20, and a girl of 17 are believed to have been filming a mock duel when they poured fuel into two glass tubes and lit it.

The pair were rushed to hospital after one of the devices exploded in woodland at Hemel Hempstead, Hertfordshire.

A third person present at the incident had been questioned, police said.

A videotape was found nearby by police called to the scene on Sunday.

A police spokeswoman said the pair were taken to West Herts Hospital before being transferred to the specialist burns unit at Broomfield Hospital, Chelmsford, in Essex.

They are both said to be in a critical condition.

She said the 17-year-old girl and a 20-year-old man from Hemel Hempstead suffered serious injuries.

She added: "At this stage we are unable to confirm the exact circumstances, but glass tubes and traces of accelerant (flammable substance) were found at the scene."

The final film in the Star Wars series, Revenge Of The Sith, arrived at UK cinemas last week.

One of the crucial scenes features a light sabre battle between Ewan McGregor's Obi-Wan Kenobi and Hayden Christensen as Anakin Skywalker.

This would be from the State The Fucking Obvious Dept of the BBC.
Hopefully they are part of the 4000 to be sacked.

Did anyone else notice any change without the 10,000 at the beeb the other day?
No?
THEN SACK ALL 10,000.

You obviously missed the lunchtime news, with the unfamiliar presenter, reporters, and the wobbly camera work.

On the subject of stating the bleeding obvious, none in the country can beat our wonderful boys in blue. How often have you seen a report in a paper about some villains nicking something weighing a ton, only for Plod to comment, "It is believed a vehicle may have been used to remove the stolen property."

Absolutely true.

The speak with the same monotone shite voice as a footballer.

Why do footballers always say at the end of a game:
"Well, you know, you can't take anyfing away from him, cos like, you know, and er....cos yeah, cos you know..."

BASTARDS.

Holden! have you also noticed 'football speak' it,s in the third person now.
" eee,s seen the ball", ee,s looked up" it,s gone wild" "a shots gone in " it,s in the net"............Rodents! who,s eeeee?
