...the Official last Warning.....

[El Presidente]

Set off the fire alarms again last night in the hotel. Love the serviced apartments here but by God I can't cook toast without raining that shrill alarm hell.

Presented this morning with my final warning

Two options. Take the ken Gargett approach and sue!!!!!!

.....or roll over.

I rolled. I now have 6 meals in the fridge of "Lean Cuisine". I assume the microwave will be friendlier

Just make sure you heat them on a metal plate, it makes the cleanup much easier.

who have i ever sued?

amazing how the threat of it does enable the engendering of a situation of productive dialogue and consensual compromise where all relevant parties are given the opportunity to rearrange their views to align with that most appropriate - ie, mine.

and given the number of salads you've dodged, a little lean cuisine may not be all that out of order.

yes, pot kettle.

I say screw them and their last warning. Test the waters and see what they do. Cook up some more toast and let us know if they truly meant it was your last warning or not... ;p

Appropriate advice from the GodofFire

I live in an apartment building and we get at least 5-6 fire alarm call outs every few weeks the vast majority being burnt toast or steak. The worst are early morning 5:30-6am on a Sunday morning

[Fuzz AI]

Riiiight.

Yep. Take out tomorrow night. I'll bring some booze.

Try not to get kicked out of this one, eh? It's getting hard to drop in when you say I'm at the usual place, but then I find out when I'm there, you got banned 3 weeks before...

Its embarrassing Chris. banned from 6 hotels in Sydney and counting.......

[Fuzz AI]

I'm telling ya, Rob. Time to start looking at the real estate pages and find yourself a small studio apartment. Then you can set the alarms off as often as you like!

[polarbear]

At least you were wearing pants this time

[OZCUBAN]

There's always Chris's place lol

[...]

Were you making toast while having a Siglo VI inside? That could have set the alarm...

How does one get banned from so many hotels?

I can't think of a single hotel that had cooking facilities in the room. When you say 'hotel', do you mean 'doss-house'?

That is the exact problem. There is no cooking facility. He just sets fire in the middle of the room and surprised how the alarm goes on and on

[ogus]

they didn't say anything about chainsaw use

Arf. I now have a picture of Crocodile Dundee (with Prez's head) in that hotel room in New York...

It's a serviced apartment.

[Philski]

Fair enough, but why has he been banned from six hotels in Sydney?

[Warren]

I told you, cling wrap the smoke alarm. Problem solved.

[Stanislaw]

I have a sensitive smoke detector in my apartment, whenever I use the stove I have to climb up onto a chair and disconnect it from the wall... I know that's not an option for you, I just feel your pain is all.....

The worst is if it ever goes off for a real fire I'm probably so desensitized that I'll sleep through it...

[BBS]

The smoke detectors in our new home are extremely sensitive....overly so. We can't broil a steak without it going off...we call it "the dinner bell".....

[Ryan]

Next time maybe leave the charcoal at home and bring the gas barbeque..

Are you insane?!?!

You are talking about a man who not only set fire to his BBQ, but also set fire to the LPG tank hose!!
