Hi Kevin, yes on that show they said there was a whole "zoo" of phenomena associated with lightning

I wouldnt of thought the (b l o o d y) word was a serious swear word?? - i mean is damn banned too (this will test it) they should give us a list of the banned words LOL! I have heard a few PM's say b l o o d y on tv???!!

I have to make a correction - I stuffed up my poor old grandads min min lights story!! about an hour after I typed it I remembered it properly!!! arrgg, well it has been more than 20 years since I have heard it - so just for the record - it will bother me if I dont correct it - I know it probably doesnt matter anyway, and sorry if it bores anyone.

He was driving on one of those lonely highways near Winton at night and he noticed what he thought were truck lights following him at a distance, in his rear view mirror (i had the story in reverse!!). This went on for some time, eventually he decided to slow down and let them pass, but the head lights would just slow down with him and stay at the same distance behind, wether he sped up or slowed down. Eventually (somehow? cant remember this bit properly) they caught up and he thought they were overtaking, but just as they got close the headlights converged and tumbled as if the truck was crashing and rolling right behind him. Then I think in fact they went over the top of his vehicle and then dissappeared into the bush. ahh feel better now - again so sorry!! and sorry to hijack your thread Kevin!
Cheers
Kearn
