I used to do that as a child - and of course loved the bit when the paper caught light and went up the chimney!

When i was about 14 i was always up first, i lit the fire with the newspaper in front, it burnt and went up the chimney as usual.
After about 30 mins there was a knock at the door, it was the fire brigade, your chimney is on fire.
My dad got a telling off by the fire brigade for not having the chimney swept. Then i got a telling off by dad for setting it on fire. ;D
