i am the god of hell fire....

[Highlander]

I have just purchased a gas lamp,.. the reason being that I dont want to light the oil lamp that I have,.. we had a power cut about three weeks ago just for the one night, so I lite the paraffin lamp, and promptly fell over my [black] German Shepherd while carrying it to where it was to stand.

Now I was lucky, because as I hit the floor, not only did it not break, but the flame went out as well,... BUT,.. I learnt a lesson well,... so it is one lamp that I will keep, but it will be a real emergency before I light it again

So, I think that oil lamps are a real danger if you have kids,... or dogs...lol
