          This is possibly what a passer by saw before calling the Police and Paramedics:-

              I always call The Police before Halloween night now, just to warn them beforehand that there will be a man walking the street with a working Chainsaw (minus the chain ;) )

              Here's some pics of Last year ;)

              I have a knack of creeping up behind people, and starting the chainsaw behind them, which really really scares a lot of people :D

                @Webmaster I've just clicked on your link in post #21, it's brought up your video linked to Facebook. Not being a member I can't view it, that's not a problem but can you shed any light on why it's brought up my daughter's email address as well?

                I can answer that one @Sheal - Facebook has a habit of plundering information from wherever it can - it is showing you your daughters email address because it is in your address book somewhere (email account etc), OR has identified that your name and her name are linked in the ether. Anyone else clicking the link will not see your daughters email, but may well see their own daughters/sisters/neighbours/vicars email. T'is one of the reasons that I don't like Facebook

                  Thanks for the explanation @Fat Controller. :thumbsup: It's pretty scary knowing that personal info can be picked up by any means. :doh:

                    Could also mean that your daughter may have logged into FaceBook at some point on your computer, and it autofills the login without a password ?
