Diagnosis for Harry Petrol Lawnmower?

I have a Harry Petrol Lawnmower which has suddenly emitted blue smoke from the engine with a couple of explosive bangs. What is likely cause and can it be easily remedied
Harry, August 2009
Oh dear! Blue smoke is oil burning and I reckon you must have destroyed a piston somehow...not a common occurence!
