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???

I can imagine you saying all this to your 'butch', as he strokes your hair afterwards...
You'll probably get a hefty fine (£20k), a 6 month prison sentence and then 400 hours community service.

I'm hoping, now he has been put in this more serious position, he'll decide to tell the truth. I know there is no way I could lie in court. I just wouldn't be able to cope.

Ah, endless fun.
Ah, endless fun.
In short, your friend is a dick.

But we're not idiots. We were cold. Neal suggested he started a small fire to keep us warm. I chucked him my lighter and he lit a box. This is when I realised he was being a tw@t, he lit a carboard box full of rubbish and left it on more boxes. He left to find a metal bin to put it in, whilst I climbed down to put the fire out. He came back quickly and put the box in the bin. He then moved the bin to the side out of the way.
Smoke was a little intense so we decided to let the fire die down a bit and went outside, keeping a good eye on it.
When the fire went out we returned and Neal planned to relight it with cleaner carboard and less of it. He started the fire whilst I sat elsewhere a good distance away. He then moved the metal container with the fire nearer to him. I said, "is that such a good idea" and he replied with "I can keep a better eye on it". His next words were "oh crap" or something to that effect as a stack caught fire.
Starting a contained fire in a farm is not a reckless idea, especially if it is set away from anything flammable. Neal twice risked the fire catching the other boxes and twice I repelled the idea.
From my position I did not act recklessly. I was more a bystander who tried to ensure saftey. I don't personally believe a prison sentence or any sentence at that matter for what I did is justifiable.

Kids, if you don't want to get burnt/bum-banged, don't play with fire.

He was only starting a fire to keep warm. He was an old school friend, I was aware he was an idiot but respected his loyalty.
As for Cambridge, it's really bad here. The classroom's are overstretched and the tutor times are tiny. No wonder we're going downhill. And all the students are idiots that find it amusing to mock people for intelligence and nothing else.
I prefer to go to the APU SU, when they let me in. Drinks are cheaper but the food is not as nice.
