Well, that was an interesting evening! The choice of the DVD in the Common Room or 'Ordinary TV' in Curlew, proved very popular - once I had managed to get the DVD to work! As you can imagine, Newton is full of world experts on DVD mechanics and all sorts of helpful comments were offered. Once I had realised that in order for an electrical installation to work it requires electricty, and put the plug into the socket, all was well. To be fair, we did need an adaptor - although Mrs C took some persuading of that fact .... !
All viewing went well, in both locations; sweet rations were hugely appreciated, and it was then time for bed. But not before one of our members managed to lock himself in the vins and discover that the lock was faulty! Fortunately, the person involved was the model of calm and common sense and he and I engaged in witty banter while I endeavoured to find a way of getting him out! After about ten minutes, Mrs C, who had been dealing with laundry downstairs, arrived on the scene, complete with screwdriver. "All you have to do is put this in the lock and turn", said she. And she was right! Out came a smiling hero, who was cheered loudly by his peers.
Just another night in Newton.
