Call the Fire Brigade!

Well, lucky for me i've just woke up for no apparent reason so downstairs I went to make a brew to find the hob on full whack with paperwork near it burning and the iron and kettle melting!

If I hadn't had got up, what would have happened? I'm just shocked at the moment and will be arguing with the missus when she wakes up. I don't know how to operate the hob (Enter witty comment) so it's not my fault!

Now we have 3 firealarms, one outside the kitchen door, one at the bottom of the stairs and one at the top of the stairs outside the childs room. Non went off and probably wouldn't have until some serious damage had been done. Lucky!

Lucky indeed! At least it's a bit of ammo to remind the missus of the next time you do something daft!

I heard something on the radio this morning about the fire service raising awareness about the dangers of boozing while preparing christmas dinner because of the rise in accidents/fires at this time of year. Their motto: "Don't be a turkey this christmas!"

Any update on that Neal?...............................

The iron had to have the plug replaced and luckily nothing is badly damaged.

It happened to me before where I woke up when something was happening. I woke up and had an urge to look out of the window, and there was someone breaking into my car. Didn't get in, damaged the lock and must have seen the curtains open as they walked off when I looked.

I think we all are to a certain degree.
I got up from watching tv in the caravan once and plastic film off a lyons cake had been blown to the kettle and was burning.
I also woke up to the clinks of the binmen emptying next doors beer bottles and thought my vintage christmas lights, i got up and they'd gone but couldn't prove who'd had them and the police didn't even call. I didnt realise at the time how valuable they were when I used them and would never put anythging like that out on the landing again, great sentimental value too, they where the lights off the family tree, I thought who'd want them.

Although people say i look evil too, and people i do dislike have a tendancy to kick the bucket unexpectedly. I think it's just the stare from my big brown eyes.

I was playing cards with a friend one night, I was just a kid. When the cards were dealt, I got an Ace of Spades and a Queen of Spades. I immediately said "someone will die". Next day on the news I heard that Donald Campbell had died on his last speed attempt. Many years later, I watched a programme about Donald Campbell. It told how the night before the attempt, he could not sleep and got up to play cards with his mechanics. When dealing, the first cards out were the Ace of Spades and the Queen of Spades and he knew.

Also: One day I got up and said to everyone "I dreamt Southend Pier burned down. It did.
