Has anyone ever successfully opened a gate to an access road? Like a small utility road, for deliveries? The kind of gate that a bin-warden might effortlessly unlock to allow a lorry to access bins?
We have one of these gates by our flat. We need to unlock it for a removal van. The council keeps passing the request onto different departments of the council, but no-one seems able to do it.
I’ve just purchased a ‘Fireman’s Drop Key’ in the hope that it will help me unlock the gate myself. It’s an act of desperation though. A roll of the dice.

Bolt cutters and then tell the council someone else did it? |

Go to Hastings if you want to be mugged, assaulted, or generally under appreciated. |

Buggeration; I just poured half an energy drink over a bit of my bed and now have to wait for the carers to change stuff midday - bloody nuisance... I had no idea you were a rod hull fiend to Chumbles. What are you sippin' on? Monster? Rockstar? Pure uncut hull? Or have you really hit the bricks and are on the Tescos own brand energy drinks? Ensure+ twice a day - astonishing how far it went. |

Sheep's comment I mean. I quietly sniggered at Tids wordiply score. To be fair to Tids, his score was always going to be limited by an inability to resist playing FART, FARTS, FARTIPANTS, FARTER, and FARTDEALER. |

Do you recall if novelist and noted provocateur Tony Parsons ever reviewed games for one of the Spectrum magazines? I am sure I remember this but have been assured in the past that I am talking out of my hat.

It seems quite likely he did. t is the srt of thing an unsuccessful journalist would have done. It des not preclude the idea that you are talking out of your hat. |

In 1974 he [Parsons] began work at the Gordon's gin distillery on City Road, London, where he developed an acute gin allergy
This might be my favourite thing ever.
I have developed acute gin allergy on more than one occasion. Though it wasn't that cute.

I’m not sure. I don’t remember him writing for Your Sinclair. The only other magazine I read was Crash and I don’t remember him writing for that either, though I can’t actually remember the names of any of the writers. A cursory search indicates he didn’t write for Sinclair User or ZX. Hmmm. |

Nicholas Parsons used to do reviews for Atari User Magazine, is that maybe what you're thinking of?
