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?

Hi pressure petrol cookersI went on a camping expedition a few years back and took with me what i thought was the coolest gadget. While everyone else used standard Trangia cookers for their breakfasts, I produced my beast. A fuel tank with a pump that allows you to pressurise it. This feeds to a cooking ring and should have had my food cooked faster and with a reduced risk of food poisoning. But I paid no attention to the recommended pressure, exceeded it greatly and burnt part of my eyebrow off when i lit the damn thing. Not so cool.
