free matches
A couple of years ago, as a fresh faced fresher, I was beginning to enjoy the freedom of moving from the parents home. I could go out, drink, and not only were indoor fires allowed, they were met with minimal complaints from flat mates.

Only problem was I didn't have many matches. Then we went on a night out. Having a quiet pitcher in the local spoons, I notice then free matches by the bar. It must be some mistake, fire for free. Under the guise of ordering more drinks, I quickly stuff box after box of matches in my back pocket. I emptied the bar's supply of free matches, and immobilized myself. So full were the pockets on my jeans that I actually agreed to go home early with a couple of mates.

Finally get back to the flat and count my matches, I got more then 60 boxes. Each box had about 20 matches in. I'm no mathematician, but that is a shit load of matches.

To celebrate, i set 5 boxes alight at once, then set a pizza box on fire.


Not remarkable, not expensive, but taking advantage of the good people at 'spoons. Also led to the indoor campfire, the fire under door prank and many other exploits of youth.

Sad thing, last time i was in spoons i grabbed 10 boxes.

Come to think of it, I accidentally shoplifted a box of matches from tesco.(on my honour, I didn’t mean to) I guess I don't pay for matches.


If any ones stupid and wondering, it was approximately 1200 matches, and yes, they were all gone by the end of the year.
