Was on the way in town earlier and passed the army bomb disposal with a few army jeeps and was thinking jaysus what had happened. Turned out to be this.

An Army Bomb Disposal Team has carried out a controlled explosion on a jar of picric acid in Co Cork.

The incident happened at the Bovine Blood Testing Laboratory in the Department of Agriculture offices on Model Farm Road this afternoon.

Three jars of the acid - which are commonly used in munitions and explosives - were removed from the facility after the contents of one had crystallised and become unstable.

The scene was declared safe at 4pm.

Someone clearly didnt follow the number one rule in labs apart from safety gear......dont use the stock bottles/jars directly!!!!!!

Hey RJ, thanks a million! Ha ha I didn't think I contributed much to this forum, glad I was missed! Just been busy as hell. Funny how much work I got done not being on Boards. Haha. Whats been going on?

NoDice

Had a great time ice skating to work this morning at 5.30am . The walk took three times as long as it usually does. Had some very very close calls with the curb :P

Nope Out with a buddy and met up with folks from work in the Savoy, there were ladies in Santa suits :pac:

NoDice wrote: »

Yeah, one of the buddies is having 30th drinks so must head in, staying in depresses the arse of me to be honest at the weekend. Any weekend I wouldn't go to town I'd go to the local with Daddy RJ
