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?

Building firesNever build an impromptu fire following 3 litres of Frosty Jacks on a crappy concrete path. We did one night. The fire kept on blasting apart. We just kicked the embers back in and threw more stolen wood/tables on top. We hadn't a clue that the concrete path was basically made up of air pockets, and I crawled to the fire to light my cigarette (thought I was v.v.clever at the time). I didn't catch fire because the bits went flying so far. Big holes in t-shirt though. The next morning we were giggling about the exploding fire and had a look at the path. It was just a crater in the garden. Not only that, but the back of the house was pretty much all black. Funnily enough, the landflord gave us all our deposits back!
