Be Excellent To Each Other

is awake

blah

Malc

Morning malc. I'm awake, too. I say awakem but only as far as the rod and cone cells are firing images to my brain. The rest is pure happenstance.

I am also awake. The office is like a morgue at this time in the morning - cold and empty.

An empty morgue, of course.

"You'll always have some body there, with you."

Any way I am off to that London... bah.

All taht way beacuse the customer wants a face to face meeting

<types>

<deletes>

Have a fun trip. Wave at me, like you said you would.

of course!!

I will sleep

Malc

Haringey, nice place then.

Ha ha

"Constructed from polycteyrene ."

Is that the bendy stuff?

"In answer to a few questions. the wings are fine and not bent this was due to the way it was stored , and it has returned to its normal shape now that it has been sitting out.

thanks"

Like butterflies emerging from a chrysalis.

The Postman just rang the buzzer to say that he couldn't get in. I pressed the door realease button and went down to see what the problem was. He was still stuck outside when I got down there. I pressed teh dor release button next to the door and nothing hapened. his door release 'magic key' also did nothing. I tried the back door through the private carpark, all locked shut. So, there's no way in or out and we are locked in the building. Lets hope there's no fire, eh?

Err, get onto your landlord immediately.

Are you sure German terrorists haven't taken over the building? Check your airvents, see if there's a bald guy in a grubby vest in there.

I think a call would be enough Myp.

Who said we were terrorists?

Shoot out the lock, then kick the door open.

Or maybe myp's idea. Your call!

You could always call the fire brigade if you get no joy.

Our neighbour has already contacted the building management to tell them of the situation at about 9 this morning. See, the world does not want me outside...

I'd would recommend smashing the door yourself if you want to get out. It's quite satisfying and I should think completely within your rights

I'm going to ask 118 118 which emergency service to call.

nice little game.

use tetris blocks to build a massive tower, but it might fall down. I got a maximum height of 349.

112 isn't it?

Eh? That's the same as 999. I mean which service (police, fire, etc).

Isn't 112 the number you're supposed to use in non-emergencies?

What, the non-emergency number? No, that's 118. Apparently.

Brilliant.



I'm tempted to make my next question, 'How would my grandmother suck an egg?'.

Flip the main breaker for the communal area (which you should be able to gain access to); any electronic door system like that should fail-safe on the removal of leccy, if it's already failed unsafe, the HSE will* be very interested to hear from you.

* should

Set the fire alarm off. by setting fire to the door.

hehe.

Good idea. It does sound like it's failed unsafe doesn't it.

You know with these electric locks, very often they are the slam type (like a Yale), so if you can see the catch down the side of the door, stick a scrap credit card into it and you should be able to push it back and open the door.

Pick up a fire axe, pretend you're Jack Nicholson and that the postman is Shelley Duvall

Gain access to a ground floor flat and climb out of the window.

Or tie bedsheets together and go from a higher level.

Make a Tooms out of plasticene and slide him under the door.

No, I know where that is, it's in the front hallway, next to the door, in a little cabinet with a panel yo can see through, but it requires a key. I guess you could smash the glass to get to it, but I'm not one for smashing things. I was going to go to the Post Offce, but it can wait, and someone else is bound to want to go out and either smash the door or that panel that controls gubbins before the afternoon. They crowbarred the gates open when they got stuck shut once.

Silly electrical gadgetry. the lights come on when you walk down the corridors, all the doors work by magic, but it takes so little to break. When there was apower cut for ages one day there was no water, because apparrently the water pump has an electronic system on it too, and some person needed to reset it to get it working again.

What's wrong with proper keys, locks, and light switches, hmm?

No, it is a sliding door, like a shopfront. It could probably be forced by someone non-weedy. Though, saying that, the postman is pretty huge theough and we tried to push it open but with no joy. It woudn't budge.

There might be zombies out there anyway.
Think ahead: place pans and basins on the roof to collect rainwater.

I got 224, got distracted by the arguement in the corner with people chatting-some people are fucking pathetic...like me who was reading it and not concentrating!

Is nobody going to abseil Mimi to freedom (and the post office) then? Disappointing.

I don't know how to get to the roof. However, we have a balcony. The balcony has lots of little birds visiting. I can tie messages to their legs. But no! I can't find a pen. I shall use scrabble tiles. Excellent. The birds can carry one tile each, and our rescuer has but to simply unscramble the message (containing no more than one z), to discover the problem and free us from the burning, zombie surrounded building.

This is great. It detected I had Facebook and added without me being signed in which was slightly disturbing.

I got 320 but I am sure I can do better. I love kongregate stuff they make the most addictive games.

<heads back for another try>

It's OK. I didn't realy want to go out, anyway.

Warmer in here.

A flawless plan!

That'll be the fire.

/me giggles

It does sound like it's failed unsafe, which is very poor. In which case there should be an unlocked (or manual-open, like those push bars) fire exit somewhere?

In the last flat I lived in, the coded main door entry turned off an electromagnet; if it failed (which it did, particularly in the run-up to use leaving) or you forgot the code, the key worked from outside, the knob from inside.

No, there's nothitng like that

My flat in London has the same kind of electromagnet system you speak of - when the electicity cuts ot the doors open freely. The fire doors in all the hallways have the same system here (though working in the opposite way - the magnets keep the doors open but if the electricity goes off all of the fire doors shut.) but it seems that it migh be the motor that works the sliding door mechanism hat has gone or something in that system. Oh, no, that wouldn't account for the back door not working then... Hmmm... I don't know.
