Oh don't be so harsh. He may just have overwhelmed his eye sockets temporarily.

At least it would explain the proliferation of scorch marks on 19 century front parlour wallpaper, as well as why they only ever had Aspidistras growing in pots: they were the only plants that could stand the atmosphere!

Can anyone explain how we got from a classy singing talent to a game involving lighting farts? Or is it just natural entropy of GT threads?

Just inspired by the way people can utilise unusual talents, is all...

But referring back to my earlier point about famous fires, I've long harboured a suspicion that when King Alfred started the Great Fire of London in 1965, he was doing more than just minding some cakes (if you get my drift)
