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?

addicted to fireMyself and several friends have a strange fascination with fire that has resulted in a string of mishaps over the years...
1. When young I set fire to some grass next to a set of back garden fences. The whole set (about 30 panels) went up in flames but luckily all the owners believed that "the big boys did it"
2. At uni myself and a couple of friends decided that it would worthy of our valuable time if we built a fire on the table in the living room. We did, there was fire, there was smoke, there were screams of delight then fear. We didn't burn the house down but it did have a comforting rustic smell for a few months.
3. At uni (I hate students) a small gathering of sophisticated friends descended into a frenzied debaucherous debacle of tree burning which climaxed at 4am with the fire brigade being called out to put out a 30ft confire roaring with funny coloured flames
