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?

Don't pick up lighters!I must have been about 11 years old and going through my pyromaniac stage of life! Whilst walking the dog I found a half melted lighter just sticking out the soil. "I'll have that me thinks!" So when I got home I was straight up to my room to have a play with my new find. It lit on the 1st attempt, it lit well!! Would it go out?? Would it f##k! With a flame edging closer to my little hands, and my ass twitching like a rabbits nose I had no option to drop it. What an intelligent 11 year old I was...... straight into my waste paper bin - whoosh! Off I marched to the bog, thinking that a glass of water will sort the problem out. Then my mum who has heard all the comotion marches up stairs - to see my room blazing!! What a scroting I got... Still I didn't get asked to walk the dog again!
