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?

Not me but my two younger brothersOut the back of our parents house is a 2 storey cottage. This tin rooved 'barn' as we called it was our den which we lovingly furnished from any available junk being thrown out in the village. My brothers and one of their friends (still all at prrimary school) had been smoking in the barn and had decided to hide the butts down the gaps in the floorboards. Well years of sawdust and other stuff made for quite a nice delayed fire that left only the four walls standing and almost burnt the house down as well. The fire brigade blamed the whole thing on an electric paint stripper that had been left plugged in downstairs. They still believe it to this day. Upshot was insurance paid out and re roofed, plastered and floored the whole building. Extra bonus I got to live in their when I was at college very woo shag pad (alright wank pad)
