SiblingsBrothers and sisters - can't live with 'em, can't stove 'em to death with the coal scuttle and bury 'em behind the local industrial estate. Tell us about yours.
Thanks to suboftheday for the suggestion -we're keeping the question open for another week for the New Year

ExplosionIt was pancake day, my brother and i (he is 2 years older than me, we were 15 and 17 at the time) had invited lots of friends over for a pancake cooking frenzy. After eating our way through 12 pints worth of mix we decided to have a bonfire, we have an acre and a half of land with an orchard, plenty of firewood.
So there we are stood by this massive fire, yet to be lit and my brother thinks 'this will light easier with petrol' throws a jar of petrol over the fire, walks off, grabs a blow torch...
this is what i saw from where i was stood..
brother approaching big pile of sticks with blow torch.
mushroom shaped explosion
brother running opposite way with trowsers round ankles and smoke rising from his hair..
i was on the floor laughing.. felt a little bad when he had to go to hospital and had his arm in a sling for a few weeks
