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?

The best thing you can ever do with an empty champagne bottle.1. Get an empty champagne bottle (or any wine bottle with similarly sloped shoulders).
2. Get a cigarette lighter and turn it up so the gas jet is really strong.
3. Turn out the lights (this trick looks better in the dark)
4. Squirt gas from the lighter into the bottle for about 15 seconds.
5. Stand the bottle on the table/floor.
6. Light the top of the bottle!
What happens? You get a nice blue flame sitting over the bottle opening. It gradually gets smaller and smaller, and then suddenly it goes WHOOP! down to the bottom of the bottle. It really does make that noise.
