How far would you go to impress the love of your life? A story in Ananova today tells of a German man who burned down his house after the candles he had lit in a romantic message to his girlfriend sparked a fire. The 18-year-old, who was not named in the report, had laid out hundreds of candles in the shape of a heart and with the words “You set my heart on fire”. Close. Perhaps it should have been “hearth” … and home. The damage bill will be in the vicinity of £33,000. And what did the girlfriend think of the gesture? Apparently she didn’t get to see it. All he had was a photograph, and when she found out what had happened, she wasn’t that interested in looking at it.
