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?

FireballAs bored teenagers, my friends and I would sometimes go and have bonfires - with some beers and joints - in the woods. On one occasion, when we must have been especially bored, we bought a large camping gas canister and put it on the fire. (You can see where this is going, can't you?)
We took cover behind trees, just before it exploded with a suprisingly loud bang, shards of metal flying everywhere and an *enourmous* fireball, which went right through the treetops and was probably seen for quite some distance.
The fire was completely blown out. (I believe this technique is sometimes used on oil wells which have caught fire). Needless to day we got away from the area pretty quickly, laughing like fools.
