04 May 2004 ~ Fire in the hole

One of my workmates just managed to set fire to himself!

More accurately, he managed to set fire to something in his pocket whilst wearing his jacket (that's what you get for playing with lighters). He says he was 'flicking' his lighter....as you do....and the next thing we knew there was a strong smell of burning and then someone jumped on top of him and started frantically patting him down (not in the nice way either).

No real damage done, he seems to have just burnt a hole in his pocket (so to speak).

Sums up the office really.
