Remember when we had a power blackout a couple of days ago? Well, this guy takes the TWITBTHIFD award of the month if not the year:
Two men were recovering in hospital yesterday after a freak accident during Monday’s power cuts.
Bahraini Abbas Mirza Ali was putting petrol in his car by candlelight when both he and the vehicle were engulfed in flames.
He suffered 50 per cent burns to his upper body in the accident, which happened at 8pm in his garage, in Duraz.
His cousin Juma Ebrahim suffered 20pc burns to his legs after running to his aid.
The blaze was eventually put out by neighbours who saw the flames. Both men are receiving treatment at Salmaniya Medical Complex.
GDN
Yes, these are the kind of new neighbours we have!
The worrying thing is that there seems to be no law, and if there is then it is definitely not implemented, as to forbid people just walking up to a petrol pump and fill up a bottle, can, or whatever with petrol. These things should be banned and the petrol station heavily fined if they do provide these morons with juice. Why don’t these petrol stations just put shelves-full of Molotov cocktails while they’re at it!
Oh, and why the hell does our illustrious daily rag calls this a “freak accident” is beyond me. I mean, you have fuel and you have flame, what the bloody hell does this dickhead reporter/editor think will happen OTHER than a fire?

Moron numero uno!
I just have to say something about the GDN here… I am embarassed that this is our most popular english newspaper… I don’t even want to call them journalists because I know for a fact that many of the reporters make up stories and names. And Les Horton??? what do I care about his editorials about his stupid family life.. how can anyone relate to him.. Anwar Abdulrahman should be ashamed of calling himself an editor… I have never seen so many spelling errors, useless articles, page fillers, and old news… They actually cut and paste their “oddly enough” news from Reuters WORD FOR WORD. I cannot believe these people.. The only reason I shelve out 200 fils is for that crossword, and they still manage to screw it up sometimes… This is not a tabloid rag, it’s a piece of crap is what it is… I wouldn’t even wipe my behind with it cause they use such cheap ink that runs… I have some advice for the GDN, why don’t you do some exposes on the drug world in bahrain.. send some reporters into the street, why don’t they report on how bahrain has no proper rehabilitiation centers for addicts (24 beds isn’t enough)… Why don’t they report on the staff at the Salmaniya Hospital that work day in and day out using old equipment, why can’t these people think… I’m not trying to say I can do a better job.. but make it worth reading, you guys have the readers, think of how many people you can reach, think of what you can do.. Instead they use their shock headlines (another source of amusement), or how the court system made the GDN editor wait… Anwar, if you really wanted to get me to back you up on your embarassing debacle at court, why not do an expose on the court system.. lodge a complaint and see how long it took the government employees to actually solve your case, that would be worth reading. If you want to throw some embarassing news down our way, go report on our holier than thou MPs and the stupid things they do… There I’ve said it… I’ve been wanting to say this for a while now.. please excuse me.. I’m sure not everyone who works at the GDN is a moron.. but let’s just say they do have a high concentration of them. Mahmood welcome back… I went off on this rant after reading your post on your house…
Moron numero uno!
He’s dead Mahmood, can you take this off as a mark of respect please
Moron numero uno!
Took himself out of the gene pool…
Re: Moron numero uno!
Allah rest his soul in peace. He shall receive his TWITBTHIFD trophy posthumously.
The guy was a moron regardless, and he paid for it with his life. I shall keep this article in the hope that it will deter others from attempting the same fate.
