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?

When I was an apprenticewe discovered 'crow scarers' - these were basically firework type bangers that famers use to scare the shit out of birds and keep them away from crops.
We used to buy a few strings of these and take them to car parks / local woods at lunch times. Initially the trick was to light them and chuck them about a bit and see who ended up the nearest when they went off. We then thought we would see if they could be used to blow things up. So we obtained pots of Meths, avaition fuel, petrol etc.
A crow scarer was then taped to each of the pots and a set at the foot of a tree. The resulting fireballs from each of the pots was impressive to say the least. Several trees had to be extinguished by us pissing on them. (No, no biscuits!)
