Tumble dryer Fireman From Ossie
According to the telegraph today, one of the culprits of the fireman in the tumble dryer video is from Ossie (I take it you have all seen it on the news), he is called Simon Leyland. You can also watch the video on the evening telegraph website, what do you think? is it much ado about nothing or a stupid thing to do? I personnaly think it was a daft thing to do, you might argue it was a laugh and its what roughy toughy boys do, anyway whatever the outcome the prat in the video is famous all over the world, maybe when he gets sacked he can get a job with the jackass idiots.

Re: Tumble dryer Fireman From Ossie
I hate things like this being aired in public. The emergency services and the military employ people to undertake very dangerous and highly skilled tasks, in between those duties they have periods of training and other secondary duties in which accounts for part of their watch.
The rest of the time they are at a loss as to what to do and quite often will find immature and senseless activities to keep then occupied. You must remember that these men and women are highly skill risk takers, often on our behalf. If they wish to undertake these risks so be it, I would rather have a slightly hot creased fireman rescue a member of my family than a half asleep one.
Yes it is foolish and it is stupid. But these things along with gallows humours are what keep these men alive.
What were stupid and irresponsible actions was the news network and other media who publicised this video. It is they who have put others at risk by showing the footage on national Television and stills in the press.

Re: Tumble dryer Fireman From Ossie
It bugs me more how the media jump on it more than the fireman doing this silly little stunt.
By the way, kids don't need know encouragment to do stuff like that, I've seen it done a few when I was a kid. No it wasn't me doing it ....... honest

You can just hear the kids now can't you!
Teacher: "So little Tommy what will you be when your older?"
Little Tommy: "Well Miss, when I grow up I want to be a fireman"
Teacher: "A fireman, so that you can drive one of those big red fire engines?"
Little Tommy:"No Miss, so that I can sit in one of those tumble dryers" .......

Re: Tumble dryer Fireman From Ossie
I have seen alot of things done for a dare etc whilst serving twenty years in the fire service, from pints of vinegar being drunk to who could eat the most weetabix, the record for that was 31 but he didn't have a poo for six days, it set like concrete, and sitting on a floor scrubber and riding it like a rodeo etc. The only thing we didn't do was video these challenges and that I am afraid is those firefighters downfall.

Re: Tumble dryer Fireman From Ossie
agree with doug,i think its a stupid prank that came out badly,should have been dealt with in house, although new technology aint helped, the media as tinks says come out worst in this to me, what they have done is just as irrisponsible in my opinion. at the end of the day these people take hellish risks on our behalf,and boredom in that job is a real bain, bottom line is if you get caught you pay the piper!

Re: Tumble dryer Fireman From Ossie
I agree, the media shouldn't have stuck it on te news, Pranks like this happen all the time in reality especially in the army, theyjust don't go putting them on the news. Who sent it to them anyway? if it was the guy from the dryer then he does desserve the flack.
