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?

Lots of them, but none really interesting
The day I joined my first band, we celibrated by going up and down the lane by my house in scooters and skateboards (this was something they did regually, but I didn't) then we found my brother's old board and some nail polish remover. With the addition of fire, we were soon shooting down this old country lane on a skateboard that was on fire. Oddly enough, we were all uninjured.

Then there was at camping where, in a drunken state, I put a talking box on my hand, got a friend's boyfriend to cover it in deoderant then set it on fire while I did the voice of it in extreme pain due to burning, though again not hurting myself.

And last week after camping again (don't ask why we did this in the middle of Febuary) we decided to cook dinner by throwing eggs, bacon, bread and super noodles on the fire, but when it didn't burn we threw sugar on it. That burnt nicely :D Then the day after, after we packed up all our stuff and our girlfriends went home, we put all the rubbish on the fire- including half our drummer's possessions- his jeans, trainers, cuddly toys, socks etc, but the best thing (as it turns out batteries don't explode well) was the full gas canister someone left. It took about 10 minutes on the fire, but when it finally exploded it was well worth the wait, and threw the rest of the fire over about 10 metres. We never found any remains of the actual canister though...

Oh, and someone on that camping trip once burnt down a field, but was never caught, or so he claims. Someone tried to burn my CD player after he played Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out on repeat from 11pm to 8am.
