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?

A'blazing Grace or Sacrilage ?So, there we were the middle of summer, three 11 year olds climbing on to the pipe at the same time, to get onto the large parafin tank at the back of the church where we used to hang out. Needless to say the combined weight was a little too much for the pipe which promptly split...emptying the contents of said parrafin tank onto the floor and into the stone gutter running around the base of the main wall of the church.....
So, a couple of days later (n.b. middle of summer and still hadn't rained) we were sitting in the grave yard chilling and chatting and I'm flicking matches (I was 11 and none too quick)...one of the matches hits the stone guttering, immediateley igniting the soaked in parrafin which then spread rapidly around the whole of the back of the church !
We then spent the next 20 mins watching from the safety of bushes as the vicar in full frocks etc ran around panicking with various buckets and fire extinguishers......I'm going to hell for that one, especially for laughing at the guy........
