A Confession
52 Answers
Many moons ago two small girls decided they wanted to bake potatoes over an open fire. They each stole a potato from their respective homes and the taller one of the two girls stole a box of her dad's matches. They gathered kindling but as it was a windy day they could not light the fire on the waste ground. They found a more sheltered spot and the taller (and more attractive) girl lit the fire. It was soon blazing away merrily. Unfortunately the sheltered spot they had chosen was at the back of a wooden garage, which was also soon merrily blazing away. The two girls naturally legged it.
The local paper reported the incident as a deliberate arson attack and the garage and car inside were completely destroyed.
No suspects were ever identified. Phew.

I nearly set fire to a hotel once in Greece .
We went to bed letting a candle burn ,one of those anti mossie things in a clay pot which exploded .Next thing we knew the curtains were alight .
Good job we had loads of bottled water in the room which we frantically chucked everywhere .
Needless to say it was a costly holiday after we reimbursed the owner for the damage to her curtains and bedside table .
Note to self .....never ever drink Ouzo again :)

Mine was in Ireland but we avoided having to pay damages.
Checked into the Assolas Manor near Kanturk, a lovely country house, on our wedding room. The bathroom came with a humengous jacuzzi, so one late afternoon we turned it on, a little foam in as well and - well we forgot about it in favour of a good old-fashioned-bonk.
A good thirty minutes later, came back in and water everywhere, never mind the foam that was half-way up the wall....the owners were most understanding, surprisingly so.

Many years ago a local lad who had a bit or a rep as a bad boy broke into a track layers cabin at the side of the local freight line and thought it would be fun to put five boxes of warning bangers on the track to see what happened when the late night fish train came by. The effect was brilliant the bangers went off like a machine gun and the sparks thrown out by a Brittania class loco and about 200 tons of vans and cargo going from 100mph to zero in half a mile was fantastic, at least that was what I was told as I was miles away when it happened, I mean in those days I could run really fast. Ooops I meant to say I was tucked up in bed like all good boys were.
