What is the British equivalent for "Hey, y'all! Watch this!"?

I don't know. Ask MadIvan.

The real tragedy is no one got this on film.

This is a pipebomb.
This is a pipebomb in your mouth.
This is your brain...scattered all about the shed.

Any questions?

Once in a while, I have renewed hope for the human race. Then something like this happens.

Oh the inhumanity (holding head)

What a cliffhanger--they left out the most important part of the story: well, was she impressed?

What was left of his head to perform "a risky medical procedure" on?

Must've been a transplant.

The British equivalent is "Hold muh kidney pie".

and he died on the same day - 13 July, 2002.

He's not dead. He's pining for the Fjords!

Actually, he could still be practicing law somewhere.

His girlfriend, Elizabeth Elliot, said: "My opinion was that Kevin was mucking about but didn't actually mean for the pipe bomb to go off..."

He stuck a pipe bomb in his mouth, lit the fuse...and he didn't mean for it to go off? I would attempt to figure out what he did mean it to do, but I'm afraid of serious brain cramps.

Kevin Barnes, 20, of Joseph Priestly Court in Daventry, took the device into his mouth and flicked a lighter. . . .

Obviously a man of science, conducting an experiment, much like Priestly himself.

It was a risky tacks scheme.

"She said complications from a risky medical procedure meant to save him contributed to his death."

Sadly, I smell a lawsuit over this. What kind of risky medical procedure did he have that would help his head to blow up -- as opposed to not having a medical procedure done?

"Your honor, if Doctor __________ hadn't performed a ____________ on Kevin, his head wouldn't have blown off -- it just would've been really cool!"

"Oy! Watch THIS then!!!"

(Speaking as one who has intimate dealings with more than one pissed pommie!!)

I thought it was "Hold me pint, mate!"

"Sounds like he should have had a lobotomy years ago."

In this case he had an instant lobotomy.
