A husband who tried to ‘save’ his wife from a scary spider ended up needing treatment for burns after nearly blowing up his bathroom.

Christopher Robinson was ‘encouraged’ by his wife, Janine, to chase the arachnid – but failed to flush out the eight-legged beast when it scuttled behind the toilet.

The 28-year-old grabbed an aerosol can of deodorant and sprayed its highly flammable contents toward the spider, covering the surrounding floor and walls. But the lightbulb had blown – so the would-be hero sparked a lighter to get a better look...

The resulting explosion blew him back into his hallway and lifted the hatch on the loft. The fireball scorched the bathroom at the couple’s home in Clacton-on-Sea on Monday and left the father of two with superficial burns to his arms, legs and face.

Mr Robinson said: ‘There was just this big puff of flame which came right back at me. It burned my hands and my legs and singed my hair.

‘Luckily, I was wearing my boxer shorts so I did not get burned in a more sensitive area.

‘I feel a bit of a fool. It was like something Del Boy would do in Only Fools and Horses.’

Essex fire service added: ‘We’re not entirely sure whether the spider got away or not – but there was no sign of it.’

Does that mean you have been in similar situations, perhaps chasing something, I don't know maybe any occurrences that forced you to set your bathroom on fire like the guy did?

One of my daughters was going out with a millionaires son . The son lead a rather unconventional life . He found a heap of nail gun caps . The kind of caps they use to drive nails into concrete , explosive caps . He put them in my daughters bath and poured lighter fluid over them .
When I arrived the bathroom windows was missing and the bathroom was looking black and kinda unkempt ! The bathroom was needing major work , after the great explosion, my daughters boyfriend, had managed to achieve . The arrival of the fire brigade and police had put a bit of a dent into my daughters boyfriend and his grand idea .
Not to mention the dents the explosive caps had caused . :ohyea:

Sometimes I worry that I may be failing in some way to get my message across . You know that feeling when all entreaties fall on deaf ears ?
When it seems an uphill struggle just to tread water ! :zoned:
