But I did hear a couple of security guards wander past my window (the >beep< from the walkie-talkie gives it away rather), and about 10 minutes later I heard a couple of big diesels, which turned out to be a pair of fire engines going back home.
When will they learn to cook with the kitchen door shut?

Date: 2005-06-19 11:20 am (UTC)Hmm, this reminds me of the time when a friend 'tested' a fire alarm by emptying half a can of deodorant into the smoke detector. At, oh, 1:30 am or something like that, just as everyone was staerting to go to sleep (IIRC I had just turned the light out when it went off). This was at the 6th form orientation away thingy, and the place we were at had a fire alarm system, but the teachers didn't know how to reset it (and the system didn't call the fire brigade either). So we had to wait about 15 minutes for the system to reset itself. At least we didn't have to go outside.
There's other fun from there. We did most of the seminars and stuff in a sorta hall that was just the other side of the road there, and there was a floodlight on the outside. Apparently, turning that flood on managed to pop the breaker a few minutes later.
Oh, and one of the room windows literally fell out, and smashed on an open window from the floor below. (This is the building that was scheduled to be basically ripped apart and rebuilt just after we left. It was still unchanged two years later)
