I can’t believe I’m reconnected to the internet again. After 6 weeks of moving into my new flat in London our broadband provider has finally deigned to give us internet access!
What better way to restart my blog than to tell the story of how I rescued my friend from her house today! She somehow managed to lock herself inbetween her bedroom and her front door – rather alikened to being imprisoned, she later described, with only internet access to communicate with the outside world.
It started when I received a distress msg online at lunchtime. Unfortunately, I had neuroscience lectures in the afternoon which were (as exhillarating as they sound) also rather important. After finishing at 5pm, I raced back to find out if there was any improvement in the situation but I couldn’t find her online. At this point I didn’t know whether someone had freed her or not. I took the tube in rush hour traffic from west into central London (not recommended to those living outside London) and discovered that she was still trapped inside.
I knocked on her neighbour’s door who is known to have her landlady’s number. Once I contacted the landlady I was then sent on a mission to her house in east London which involved the tube to Liverpool St (crush) and then a bus (crushed more). Met landlady at the bustop, grabbed spare keys, jumped back on the bus, Liverpool St, central line, off the tube and back to rescue my friend!!!
After a 20 hr lock-in I freed my friend after a 3 hour trail quest which I’m sure could have been filmed against the Mission Impossible soundtrack, or maybe Indiana Jones. Monty Python?
