Yep, it'll be freezing as I left both windows wide open.

Very considerate. Well done on surviving the night MTT.

Poor bloke. If there is anyone going in to clean your room, I feel sorry for them.

Well once the fairground trucks switched off their engines at about 2 AM I got up and opened the window; the room was more than a little smelly but was quickly freshened up by a blast of cold air. Saw the priest from the next room this morning and he was looking a bit worse for wear; as I didn't see him in the bar yesterday I presume he either; went off for some drinkies somewhere else, or suffered a minor case of cranial oxygen shortage. I hope it was the first.

UPDATE: there are now trucks outside setting up a fairground on the village green, so to cancel out the noise of diesel engines I have had to shut the window. You will know tomorrow morning whether I have died of methane poisoning.

Are you dead?

To the original list I would like to add the crowded public place risk, where complete strangers take exception. Just the other week I was standing outside of a shop waiting for a friend and a young lady, who was a good six feet away, got quite upset and called me a 'joker'. I'm now on a rather crowded train and while I'm fairly certain I could get away with it as another train passes I'd be wary of letting rip in a station.

[Wanderer]

Have I missed any risks and mitigations?

Farts don't smell if you light them.

Whip out a cigarette lighter, cock one leg in the air and light that bad boy up as you let it rip. It produces a nice warm feeling in your anus but you have to watch it if you do a particularly long one because you can get a bit of a backdraft and an overly warm sensation. I can also inform you that you shouldn't do this in the computer room where they have highly sensitive fire detection equipment.

I don't think you can kill yourself with your own farts.

Then again I've not stayed in the room if they are that bad.

If you stay in the room, you become acclimatised.

It's when you leave to have a pee, then come back in, that it knocks you out.

N'night

I can't give you any positive rep, so

There are some advantages to sleeping in lodgings in a place of catholic pilgrimage near clientco;

1 Unrestricted snoring without fear of elbows smashing my ribs

2 Unrestricted farting without fear of the silent but deadly female revenge

3 The priest in the next room can probably hear all the farts and snores but he knows it's the human condition, that I too am a creation of his God and he must accept it; besides, he's a jolly chap who shares a drinky and a chuckle with this heathen farter some evenings

No, I've done too much sharing recently. All's well now though; the PJs are on.



Christ alive. I could go right off you.

Do you cycle to the office?

If so save them and use them as supplementary propulsion on the way in in the morning.

I do indeed; 12 kms, a quick blast to get the systems fired up for the day.

If I'm not mistaken I've just let go a little hors d'oeuvre that gives a taste of the night's offerings; I think I'll sleep with the window open.

[MaryPoppins]

Care to share? Not because I care, but it would make the rest of us feel better to know we've not had as crap a day as you

Well I've just had some sprouts; this will benefit me in that it keeps the bed warm as I lie alone in my lodgings

Well I've just had some sprouts; this will benefit me in that it keeps the bed warm as I lie alone in my lodgings, but it puts me under some pressure to release all the gases during the night to prevent ghastly emissions in the office tomorrow morning. Or maybe I should save them all up for tomorrow.
