Please save the cat!

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

I felt the poor thing needed to be put out of its misery as it was pretty smashed up. I no longer have firearms, so I have no idea what I'd do in the same/similar situation.
Now that firearms are far less common in Australia, we resort to the tire iron when required in the bush. It's adequate.

Cheers Stroppy,

You spelled tyre like a Mexican!

Yep,a tyre lever, as they used to be known in SA, would be pretty effective in the right hands. I don't think too many would be packing them in their cars though. I've never carried them. When I lived out bush, I carried two spares though - and needed them at times.

Heh! You're right, and something was tickling the back of my brain as I wrote that.

Not much point carrying spares in the bush without a TYRE iron.

I meant I carried two spare wheels with tyres on them. Where I was living there were some 'community' tyre levers that were welded to chains on one end, tethered to the concrete so they wouldn't be stolen. I did have to use them a few times and the community air compressor - it had an air hose that came through a locked galvanised iron door, adequate for inflating the odd repairs. I don't miss those days...

You wouldn't be the first person to carry one in your pants leg and long boots when you went to the pub. That's a Mongrel Mob idea.
Cambodia,,,, Don't fall in love with her.
Like the spoilt child she is, she will not be happy till she destroys herself from within and breaks your heart.
