Today I was the scariest day of my life to date.
I had not long got to my friends garage where we was going to make an exhaust for my car as we'd put a bigger engine in last weekend.
Before we started he asked me to get him some food which I happily said I would get him some (kind of a payment to helping me out).
Anyways, I've just got him some food and found him in the next garage along speaking with a 2 of the men who work there, which I kind of know from going to my friends garage.
After we had a little bit of a laugh and joke, me and my friend said we'd crack on and make my exhaust so we could go out drifting tonight as the weather report said it was going to rain (yay!).
Me and my friend just started to walk out of this garage to his one when out of the corner of my eye I saw one of the men spraying brake cleaner from a bottle and then lit it with a lighter. Next thing I know I'm head to toe on fire, I've ran around for a few seconds to try put the fire out. This however didn't work so dropped to the floor and luckily enough into a puddle of water.
After rolling around back and forth in this puddle the fire went out.
All of this lasted around a minute max.
I then got to my feet, took my shorts and top off as I'm using every swear word under the Sun.
At this point my friend, the person who done it and the other man who work next door didn't know what to do with themselves. After making sure I was okay, I then got them to phone 999 (emergency services) to get an Ambulance for me as I was in so much pain.
At this point I get the phone handed to me and this women starts to ask me 21 questions and to be honest I couldn't get a shit what she was saying as I wanted an ambulance to come out ASAP.
Skip 5 or so minutes when they finally arrived. I was taken to the kitchen in my friends garage to pretty much be covered in water for 20 minutes.
After this had happened, I had the boss of the person who set me on fire, he asked if I wanted him to be sacked, asked how I was feeling now etc.. I didn't want him to be sacked at this point, I saw this as a very bad and unlucky accident.
Next thing I know I'm lead into the Ambulance to be given painkillers and get me ready to go to the Hospital.
From that point its a blur, I don't really remember a whole deal from then on.
The burns I have are on my left leg, left forearm, right inside of my leg and some minor burns to my head. I've been told that hopefully this shouldn't scare so fingers crossed!
I have some photos I took in the hospital after I had bandages put on with stuff for the burns.
Just a small FYI in one of the photos my big toe looks fucking huge. I can assure you my big toe is normal length and I've got no idea why it looks so long.

Im posting this as I've had some VM's, and I've noticed someone has put something about me in the shoutbox notice, which is very kind.
I thank each of you who's wished me a speed recovery etc.
Sorry if this is hard to make sense of, I'm petty high on morphine and other pills they've given me right now.
