Go Ahead. Just try to think of something cooler.

You couldn't resist it, could you?

This one works on many levels...

So it seems my long-awaited (yeah...sure) return to my interblag will not begin with a tale of my heroics or anythign even remotely cool. Oh no. Because today, I spent 40 minutes trapped in a lift.

That's right. Apparently if you lean against the stop button, get this: The lift stops. And it doesn't start again, no matter which other buttons you press. Nor does the operator answer the emergency phone, it just turns on a set of speakers that lets everyone in the building hear what you're saying. It also apparently takes 40mins for security to bring in the guy who fixes lifts to get you out.

So I stayed in the lift chatting to Jane "Joe, why am I not surprised" Theodore and Stephanie "Yeah, this seems like something you'd do" Bandara, whom I had inadvertantly trapped along with me, and who now swear they will never take a lift (with me) ever again.

It was a fun afternoon, although I'm concerned that no-one's surprised when I do something as stupid as this.
