This is a question 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?

i have 2 major experiences...
i'll tell you about them in order of when they happened. First was a time when i was about 14... i was wearing this slipknot top...for some reason i actually thought they were alright, moving on... I'm as any other normal kid, liked to play with fire. i lit this candle on my window ledge, started to burn bits of tissue and stuff, makes a smell. mum comes in. "stop messing around or i'll conviscate your candles". i stop messin about. I look at the flame on the candle and notice its flickering then i looked at the window, it was open. so what do i do? i lean over the candle and shut the window...lo and behold my T-shirts on fire. ARRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH, mum comes in and starts hitting me. i think it may have been a bit hard, she was probly pissed at me. anyway, when it got put out i noticed the only thing burnt on my top was the face of 1 of the slipknot group. it was so perfectly burt it was unbelieveable, now i dont like slipknot, i think they possessed my t-shirt :S

this one is better...
it was about a year ago, when i was 16. Everyone in the family comes over for a bonfire and fireworks. my mum has a boyfriend whos 27, he's quite immature but fun non the less. my parent let me drink so i was pissed at the time and so was he. Theres a big pile of branches and leaves in the garden cause we'd been gardening and getting rid of an old shed. Start to poke little bits of paper in crevises. Get ma lighter and set them all on fire. IT WAS PATHETIC! me and kieran sat there laughing and being sarcastic "isn't this fabulous" " call the fire brigade" etc... so as you do...get some pertrol/white spirits...or anything flammable. (although adverts tell us not to we all do) We go to the petrol station and get a can of petrol, doust the wood and crap with it. stoood back for about 10 seconds and got the lighter. "i wanna light it" "sure go ahead". i get my lighter and hold it next to the dripping timber, (from now imaging slow motion) CLICK....SPARK...WHOOSH!!!!! it fuckin exploded! litterally, i was engulfed in flames for about 3 seconds and then it went out. PILE OF SHITE! i had no eyebrows or leg and arm hair for ages...although that saved me shaving my legs for a while (quite convenient) i spoke to my mates about it later and they said that it exploded cause petrol gives out fumes... balls
