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 a disaster. More of a tipThe garden of a rented house I used to live in had a staggering amount of huge yellow dandelions growing in it. One warm summer evening I discovered that when the flowers close for the night, the petals act as a sort of sponge which soak up lighter fluid very effectively.
Simply fill the closed flower with lighter fluid, apply a flame, repeat a hundred times and hey presto, you will have a field of swaying lights for the next 20 minutes or so.
Next put on some appropriate music, open a beer, light up and enjoy
alternatively, you can pretend you are a rock star playing your number 1 ballad to an appreciative stadium. But that might be sad.
