Tales of Fire #1

Some of the teachers had been out for a drink or two and got back in late. Two colleagues, Ian and Tim, had already fallen asleep in the lounge and I went to bed . The excitement for the night was not finished, though I didn't know it until the following morning.

 When I got up, Ian recounted the drama thus:

"I woke up about four in the morning and I thought to myself 'I don't remember going camping'. At which point I became aware that this was not a camp fire... it was in the f****** living room! When I realised this I started to try to do something, only then did I see Tim  flapping his arms round and notice him screaming like a girl until he poured a half bottle of beer onto the flames and put out the fire."

In the middle of the night a lamp had fallen over onto two shirts and eventually heated it until it ignited. There are two halves of two shirts and a burnt patch on a carpet to prove it... and photos :) 

What the hell were we doing? My god, Baltika 5 from a can...
