Some may remember a tale I told about a barn.
This barn, after a bit of idiocy from my close friend neal. Got burnt to the ground. In brief, my friend was working in a barn. Stacking a selection of broken chip and pin machines. It was a cold day in January and so he decided to start a fire to keep warm. Using my lighter my friend recklessly started a fire on a stack of boxes and then later, upon request, in a bin, away from danger. As the situation wore on my friend moved the bin nearer to him, which I questioned, the fire flicked from the metal bin and hit a stack of boxes. To cut a long story short, the barn burnt to the ground.
1 month later he is arrested, he tells his arresting officer that it was I that started the fire. So I was arrested. I told the truth, as stated above. 4 months down the line we are both charged with Arson.
I appear in court next week.
I am, as some will known, a Cambridge university student, with a small desire to be a teacher. This offense could see my dreams dashed and my prospects ruined. I have no idea what the minimum sentence is (be it imprisonment or community service), nor do I know EXACTLY what I did wrong.
At the moment my "close friend" still insists it was I that was responsible for the fire.
Help???

Plus his friend will have to explain why he allowed Dringo to be there in the first place. That seems like evidence to show that Dringo's friend is dodgy.
If not, I'll send Dringo a pound of butter when he's in the slammer. ;)

Is it only me that never finds this comforting?

All joking aside I'd go with what he said, Dringo. And, on another non-joking note, no matter how bad things look remember that there are people all over the world who have it a hell of a lot worse and still manage to come out OK.

Not what I was saying at all. Just saying it's not too tough to get in these days.
