Yesterday, I got a phone call from my mate, John, asking, no, telling me to come out and help start a large (bon)fire down the Lime Pits. Being a slight pyromaniac and having John as my personal secretary, I obliged. I got dropped off round John’s on the way back from work (eugh) and set straight off to Asda to by some stuff.

“I went to market and I bought…” two boxes of matches, a bottle of white spirit, a box of firelighters.

And John brought along his saw for firewood. We strolled along to the Lime Pits and met a few people there: Dan and Will were amongst them. We got some wood, stuck a few firelighters underneath and whoosh! We had fire. We continued adding wood and firelighters, enjoyed a tribal dance around the fire, added white spirit to make the flames fly upwards six feet, etc. We named the day Will Day, due to the lack of no fire, and Will’s lack of no pyromania.

None of this compared to the finale though. I don’t know whos idea it was, but I think it might have been mine.We put cans of deoderant on the fire and ran like hell. 10 seconds later, there was a huge, incapacitating flashbang and a fireball 25/30 feet high. It was so cool! I will see if there is a way to get it from my mate’s phone to here, I’ve never seen anything so great first hand. We proceeded to do it two more times, and only stopped when someone got hit with some debris. This wouldn’t have seemed so bad if they weren’t sat 50 yards away. Ouch…

Anyway, I plan to do it again sometime, with more safety, though. ASPLODE!
