lol I did that once) I just just moved into a new flat in Malta and it
had the oddest cooker I had ever seen (nor have since). To light it you had
to apply your match to a hole at the back of the oven and it was supposed to
light the burners on each side. It didn't work the first or second time so
I tried again (forgetting to turn of the gas in between) and the blast did
actually remove one eye brow and some hair!
