Drama at the Rookie household!

[Rookie]

It's possibly gone from one of the most frightening experiences of my life to the funniest experience of my life in the last 10 minutes.

I'm sitting at the computer, it's about 11pm, and I heard my brother running into the bathroom panting, and turning on the tap. I think 'what the hell is he doing' and walk out of my room, only to find the landing is pretty smokey. I walk into his room, and find his bed is propped up and there's a fire under there eating away the material base of the bed. Forgetting talking to my brother, I dash into my room and pick up 2 1ltr bottles I have on my side table and fill them up in the bathroom. Meanwhile I call mother out so she can either help me or call the fire brigade. Luckily we got it mostly under control and she extinguished the last of it by smothering it with a towel. We all get ready to let fly at my brother and I realise I can see flames licking up the wall under his window. So it's back to the bathroom with my bottles, fill them up, lean out and extinguish them. The adrenalin was so high in my body now that I couldn't stop my legs shaking.

Right. So it turns out that the utter retard had spilt some methylated spirit out of the bottle from his camping supplies. Here it comes - he lit the bloody stuff to stop it - and I quote - 'stinking out my room'. Some had spread under the bed and caught fire to the base of it, whilst some had soaked into a tshirt, which he had thrown out the window and then forgotten to tell us about.

Much yelling ensued, though everyone else seemed more shocked and less amused than I was. Though I definitely let him know what I thought of him.

Now to end this charade, I told him to mop up the mess I had made on the bathroom floor by leaving a bottle in the tap whilst it was on full blast, during the emergency. What did he mop it up with? A brand new, white bath towel.

My brother is such a knobend.

Funny story.

1) I am glad you are safe and your family

2) I am glad the damage is minimal

3) I am glad the ruined goods are replaceable.

Years ago living in a Brixton squat..... The kitchen wall had been lined with old hessian sacks. Hessian is quite "fluffy"....

One way to remove the fluff is to put a match to the sacks....

Everyone else does this when they are outside in the yard, not inside nailed to the walls...

KEERist!!! The flame spread across the entire 4 walls & ceiling then extinguished inself in the time it took to read this sentance.

Still, no real harm done & they looked a lot better afterwards.... Might have been an idea to warn the other 5 people sitting at the table having dinner tho....

I have a love/hate thing with my younger brother. I hate the way he mimics everything I do, but then its good to have somone to natter to when I'm bored.

If I were you I would move out real quick. Not very useful having no skin or being dead during your sleep.

Make sure you get rid of all flamable material, including vodka from that young fool (drink the vodka but not the spirit)

You have to experiment with fire at a young age, hopefully he has learnt his lesson and without doing too much damage.

Good read

Thought this would make a fun illustration of what happened. He must have thrown these out his window, while they were on fire.

On the right you can see a school shirt which has melted to the roof. And on the left is a tshirt which has been charred.

[McGee]

Classic, I have done far worse with fire its an addictive thing to mess with
