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?

Martin the muppetNot my story, but hey...
Bunch of mates I used to 'relax' with of an evening were sat in the pub across the road from their flat drinking on a sunday afternoon.
About half an hour after someone comments on the blue flashing lights that can be seen through the frosted glass of the saloon bar, Martin tells everyone they should see his room when they get back, seeing as he'd sorted out some groovy lighting for himself....
In order to move a lamp across his room, Martin had gone and twisted together some wires and insulated them with sellotape. This cable ran across his room and under his bed (consisting of a matress on the floor.)
A student has never sobered so quickly as Martin when he left the pub to find everyone's charred and sodden belongings being piled up in the garden by the local fire brigade.
