» People with Stupid Names

one of the customers at my last job
would phone in occasionally for I.T support and was very particular how he'd say his name
"Aris Karim"

also used to go to middle school with a chinese kid called Yuk

on my travels recently, saw a coach company called "GRYMM"

but best of all, we used to have a dentist in my home town called Peter Sutcliffe

» Have you ever started a fire?

Shortly before christmas when I was four
We were in the middle of a powercut, so my ma put a candle by the side of my bed (scared of the dark at the time, over it now).
I used this to set light to my bendy toys to make room for the toys Father Christmas was going to bring me.
Made much worse by the fact my olds didn't have a phone at the time and no neighbours, so had to run to the local phone box to phone the fire brigade.
I have a vague memory of my olds ferrying bowls and buckets of water up the stairs from the kitchen to my bedroom to put it out.
The kitchen was flooded by the amount of water they had to use, and I think it bought the ceiling down eventually.
My next best was flooding the bathroom shortly after; had a waterfall running down our stairs!
They weren't happy
