Set fire to the pool one afternoon while trying to light the braai using lawnmower fuel. In one's mildly pissed state one dropped a five litre plastic container full of said fuel into the flames which immediately caught alight. Hoiked it out and into the pool in an attempt to extinguish it (Yes, I was pissed
). Set fire to the entire surface of the pool and sank all the floaty toys as well as scuppering the Kreepy Krauly pool cleaner.
Steaks were good and the beer was cold though, so all was not lost.
