...........been really ill all week with the worst cold I've ever had. But, still had to DJ Friday and Saturday and was just praying for the end of the night to come (midnight). DJing with a headache must be one of the worst jobs known to man.
Anyway Saturday night got packed up, loaded all my gear in the boot which consisted of about 3 grands worth of gear, CD's, Laptop, mixer, etc. Jumped in the car and hit the central locking, handy when there's lots of tossers around at that time of the night. Started the car and set the windscreen demisters going. Jumped out of the car with my windscreen scraper and cleaned all the windows. Went to get back in the car and...............fook me the car was locked!

Holy sh*t, engine still running, sidelights on, all my gear in the boot and no spare keys.
One of our doormen tried popping the central locking with the aid of a tennis ball, but it didn't work. I rang the Police to see if they could be any help, they said they were too busy with it being a Saturday night and anyway they are not allowed to break into peoples cars for them anymore. WTF do I do? It was 12.30am by this time so I tried ringing one of my friends, luckily he was still up and hadn't had a drink. He brought some thin stiff rods and a couple of screwdrivers. All this time the car was sitting ticking over with sidelights on and I just wanted to go home. We screwed around easing the window out and we were able to slide a rod down to the electric window switches and managed to open the passenger window. That was it we were in, it took about an hour and a quarter standing out in the freezing cold. 'Course these leccy window switches only work when the ignition is on.
I don't have a spare key for the car, I did ask Toyota but they said because its an import they don't have spare keys for them. Even so, my house key was on the keyring with the keys in the ignition so couldn't go home anyway. Obviously I won't be doing that again in a hurry. Only damage is the window trim, glad I didn't have to break a window..........and boy was I glad to get home.
Back to my sick bed til next Friday.
Eerrrrmmmmm , sorry for the longish post.
