We had a film showing in work late afternoon. Part of our warm bank offer. My colleague and I tested it all yesterday and were good to go.
This afternoon about 10 mins before curtain up we discovered a lock on a drawer in the amp cabinet had somehow locked itself when moving it yesterday. The Blu-ray disc, remote for the amp/Blu-ray/projector were all in the drawer. We didn't have a key for it.
Slight panic, but with the aid of a screwdriver we got into it.
On the way home now. Hopefully beer and games later.
The PM informs me she's WFH tomorrow which kinda puts a cramp on my relaxed Fri start.
Apparently I've needed a hearing aid longer than I realised.
You've never heard of warm banks? {Edit} Below this post I'm getting an advert for Jimmy Choo. Some lassie in a bikini and knee high boots. Probably doesn't need a warm bank.

Warm bank is this Autumn's phrase. It's the central heating equivalent of a food bank. A place where people who can't afford to put the heating on can go to watch a film with Crankcaller. Once he has broken in to it, obviously.
We're being a warm bank - but trying to do it in a way that doesn't scream "I'm poor" - so come and spend a couple of hours with your family watching a film and get a drink/snack as well. We're doing other stuff as well. Family craft sessions, stuff for older folks etc.
Hopefully you don't need to see me armed, breaking into an amp rack drawer or the coffee machine. Though me swearing a lot and jumping about as I stab myself with a large screwdriver would probably be entertainment in itself. And I'd probably generate quite a bit of heat.

The Crank Bank. Heating on full whack. As much 'herbal' tea as you can drink. 'Cheerful' chocolate brownies. Paul Oakenfolds 'The Goa Mix' on the in the background. Different views on what film to watch on the blu-ray projector, but they'll be no arguments here.
I actually listened to the Goa mix the other week. Not as good as I remembered. Battered it to death at the time. Too much trance - fancy that eh?
I read that thinking Goa mix was a variant of Bombay mix. Then "I know Crank's Scottish, but ffs, battering it... and trance? wtf is he adding to it..." and then I realized that I'd missed "listened" and realised things were worse than I had thought... I'm oot... believe me, I'm worse than this poor guy. Got to sleep if possible...
Oakenfold mixed Pills'n'hrills'n'bellyaches. Everyone knows that. He's alright if you like that sort of thing. I'm less in to his DJ stuff, but it's not awful.

I, literally, haven't heard the term.
So...well done everyone.
Also, only check the gear 10 mins before showtime?!
