Fire!We were all in my aunt's kitchen at the back of her huge rambling Victorian house. I was only small and had wandered off to go to the loo, but given up after finding the hall full of smoke. "That was quick," my mum said after a few minutes. "Yes - it's all smoky," I replied.
I've never seen adults move so fast.
So, like my cousin who'd managed to set fire to the roof, tell us your fire stories.

Aah Aah Black SheepDidnt happen to me personally, but funny enough to recount...
Cut to a fancy dress party, about 6 years ago. 17-19 years olds all round. Drink is flowing and everyone is having a great time. A friend of mine has a thing about sheep (as you do), so he constructed himself a rather impressive suit made entirely of cotton wool. You can see where this is going, can't you?
No, all it took was a stray fag end, and he went up like a roman candle. The funniest thing, according to everyone at the party, was the way he went streaking around the house, screaming like a girl (in his defense, it must have hurt a bit), and covered in flames. Everntually, some guys managed to rugby tackle him to the floor and beat away most of the flames. He spent the rest of the night in the bathtub, moaning softly and being served more beer to ease the pain.
