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 was kicked out of Brownies for firestartingWhen I was six I wanted to join the Brownies, so my mom took me along to the local Brownie group. After a couple of weeks of ‘seeing if I liked it’ I decided to join proper, my mom bought me the uniform and the joining the Brownies ritual was to be performed at the next Brownie meeting. From what I can remember this ritual consisted of standing around a felt Brownie ritual mat, saying some oath and then lighting a candle that was on the mat (a bit weird now I think about it). Anyway, I stood on the edge of the mat, said the oath and then Brown Owl handed me a lit safety match to light the candle, however my mom always told me not to touch matches so I panicked and threw the lit match onto the felt mat. Needless to say the mat went up like a bonfire and I was asked not to come back.
