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?

Exploding roomMy folks dragged me off to Camelot for the day. my brother (older than me)was left at home. He found a table lighter (big piece of rock, with lighter in it) and decided to fill it up. he filled it and shook it. Nothing - empty?? Kept on filling it. Shook it. Empty! He kept going, filling, shaking, filling, shaking. The room had filled with gas, and upon testing said lighter, the room 'blew up', removing facial hair, hair to hairline, burning face etc. He ran to the sink and stuck his head under the tap, promptly knocking himself out. What a sorry site - a boy with no hair, burned and bruised, trying to fit his face into a bowl of water.
Fool.
Oh yeah, and it was about the time of year he needed to have photographs taken for the yearly school bus pass.
