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?

Yep. Amateur styleeme and a mate (let's call him kimball 'cause thats his name) took firelighters, balloons and butane out one night.
A 2 minute walk away from the local 5-0 HQ kimball filled two extra large balloons with butane while i made a makeshift flare with balloon, plastic tube, ground magnesium, and crushed firelighters...we then placed the flare in the ground, while i got kimball to kick the butballoons at the flare, dumb idea? Yep!
Both balloons hit the flare and in a second or less, kimball was surrounded in a 40 foot fireball.
He came running out for something to put the remaining stuff out...so i hid the expensive stuff (red cola...did you know you can't buy alcohol at 9am at night smelling of firelighters?) and gave him the cheap (free) water to put it out.
MORAL OF THE STORY : do not set off 40 foot fireballs near the local 5-0.
