Have you ever started a fire?I went to sleep with candles burning - woke up to a circle of flame on the rug. Thought, "Tits. Better put the rug in the bath and turn the taps on." TIP: Don't put a burning rug into a fibre glass bath. I caused about £5000 of damage to the house and was coughing up smoky black phlegm for a few weeks. Can you beat that?

Not strictly a fire but....When I was but a wee lad, I was playing on my Amiga like any normal kid, having had a perticuly poor performance on sensible soccer I decided this could not be blamed on me, but the light in my room reflecting on the screen. I decided to turn it off, but no good I can't see the keys on the keyboard! So the next logical solution would be, to but a sock over the light, or so I thought. I turn the light off and but the sock over the bulb, and sat happily playing away. Roughly thirty seconds later the heat from the bulb had set the sock on fire. So I decided to pull it off, but it was to hot to I smashed it down with a baseball bat I have gotten as a birthday present, needless to say my parents weren't to happy that there nine year old son had set his lamp shade on fire with a sock! I knew that baseball bat would be handy for something!
