The Internet: it's not just for porn..


It's there to help burglars too.

It's been 5 years since I moved into Connolly Towers and for that length of time, the window in one of the rooms has been locked. When I moved in I wasn't given a key for it and it was several months before I realised I couldn't open it..

I was getting some keys cut the other day and while there the key man told me that there could be upwards of 40 different keys that would work and unless I could get the casing from the handle in to him he wouldn't really be able to help me.. But there's always a way, isn't there, so I came back to the office, googled 'how to pick a lock' anmd this little video came up on youtube. And it worked!

I went home on Saturday evening, got a couple of hair clips and withing 5 seconds it was done.. The window was open and the room was aired for the first time in several years. Hurrah!

But you never mentioned how it was my idea to use the hair clips first.. you make it sound like you're the brains of the outfit... don't you think that people are going to ask who supported the supply of clips??????????
