Unexploded Bomb found in Freiburg

Bloody hell!

I've just spent the best part of the morning gazing out of the window at all the men in uniform, as there are about 100 members of the Deutsches Rotes Kreuz on the opposite side of the street. Just thought they were having some sort of meeting but it turns out that they are setting up a field hospital in the sports hall.

The guy I share an office with has just had a call from his wife to tell him that she is being evacuated! They have just found an exploded 250kg bomb on a local building site (less than 1km from our office!) - they been digging the foundations for a new building and uncovered it about 2/3m down.

They've been evacuated for at least four hours whilst they call in the specialists. The hosiptal opposite is just in case...

last year they found one about 200 yards from our house, i went and asked for it back was told it was an american one so i couldnt have it.

Well you haven't got far to go, unless it should explode! Just keep your hair on!

thats something to liven up the day a bit Loopy!

We have them round here once a year or so, almost hoped they found one whilst digging our house foundations! Though knowing the guy who dug the hole he probably wouldn't have bothered about it and just poured concrete over it later and pretend nothing happend.

Why?

For the compensation?

no a war trophy would look good on the mantlepiece

Exactly!

How do they know its a bomb then ?? and that it weighs 250KG ??

its round and black with bomb writen on it, what else

Is the fuse still sticking out then. ??
Does it look like this ??

where is Bomb writen on that?

Like this one then ...

is it near any important government buildings or stuff like that? It may not have gone off, but you could admire the shooting

...I'd like to see one of you smart guys put a 250KG bomb on your mantlepiece coz they're bloody big

There used to be lots of really helpful pilots that were only all too pleased to help deliver them to homes all over Europe... sadly its another job that the integration of Europe has killed off

You ain't seen the size of my mantlepiece

Stop boasting, just tell us when the house-warming party is going to be!

yeah, otherwise you will have a 250 pounder on your mantlepiece

Sorry Bully, but thats just not true !! Tuesday's porky day !!
you should have said:
yeah, otherwise you will have a 500 pounder on your mantlepiece

AFAIK 1 Kg is roughly 2 lbs :excl: It has been for the last few years, and will be for the next few aswell

maybe bbully was gonna bring a smaller bomb ...

But tick/vg far_lands for your maths. You are evidently not as stupid as most of your posts would have us believe ...

House warming will be sometime after the hosue is finished... and seeing how things are going at the moment, that could be some time!

We don't mind waiting, so long as there's a good party!

if your mantlepiece is really that big then I'm sure it will be worth waiting for

All good things come to those who wait

Now that's an offer we can't refuse! :$

@Bombi: get in line girl

Now, now ladies, no fighting please.

Neil - shut up !! Let them fight !!
When and where shall we organise it ??

Err - Loopy. Sorry, only just catching up on the postings for the last few days, but as now one else has done it I shall do the honours:-
Ahhhherm. No futher comment required, I think (Maaph - you been asleep or something? I expected better of you!)

I didn't say a thing !

It's ok, he meant Neilg!
