@bryony_gordon i love that my natural reaction is not to call the fire brigade, but to tweet this

@catherinegee: The whole of the Telegraph just received a text telling us to use the back exit thanks to the Google fire (we live across the road).

@bryony_gordon: how many firemen does it take to put out a bbq? none. its taken them so long to go up there its gone out itself

@lucyverey the firemen trying to assemble their hose to put out the google fire is one of the funniest things ive seen in a while

@lucyverey it upsets me slightly that they were so slow – my tiny flat would burn down in that time

@lucyverey @catherinegee shame the fire went out about an hour ago

And The Jokes…
