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?

Science Lesson + Crucible + Paraffin = PyromaniaThe instruction sheet for the science lesson was simple - "put two/three drops of paraffin into a crucible"...
Unfortunately, our experiment group was ordered to accommodate the div kid, who filled the crucible to the rim with fuel, then torched it.
The 12 inch high flame was quite good fun until the science teacher clocked it, and dashed towards us with a wet tea-towel. The paraffin spread over the table, and so did the fire...
Oh, how I look back with fondness...
