Please entertain me I'm locked inside a corridor with a small amount of battery on my phone. In oxford. It would be bad enough back home in Melbourne, but to come to tge other side of the world to get locked in is a bit much.

In short: how can I pass the HOURS until the others get home from work and let me in?

How many hours are we talking about? Are you forced to remain in the corridor?

Can you get out?

She's out already :P

I gather that this situation may now be resolved.

I was going to email her my cat.

Thanks all! I managed to escape when someone for the flat below came in. Am now in m&s having a bit of a celebratory lunch. Will fill you in tonight.

It's lucky that I've never managed to lock myself out of my house seeing as how we have no contingency plan for such an event. We keep saying, "Oh we should hide an extra key somewhere in one of those fake plastic rocks," but we've never actually done that.

I've hidden keys but I no longer know where they are.

I was always frightened I was going to lock myself out of my condo. Never happened. Now I have hidden keys on the grounds of Swan's End.

I was all "oh no!" and then I was like "whew" and now I'm like "damn I wish I was at a pub having a beer with jonathanstrange".
