The Postbox

In Labs, you might be lucky enough to find certain pedestals with sinks and taps on the top, surrounded by gas taps, and with electricity sockets around the side. Well if you care to move away the desks from the bottom, you will find that they have a door behind which is a hole for the teacher to store all manner of things in. Unfortunately for us, it's locked, and not even the most determined of lockpicking can break in. Which is fortunate, since we haven't wasted a signle second trying. And do you know why?

We have a postbox!

Right at the very bottom, there is a postbox sized hole. Currently, we can fit just about anything in there, and are in the process of creating our own mini chemical rack, although I see no reason why it should be mini. Vinné, the wrap master, collects up the chemicals and seals them in neat packages, creatively Laballed ("AS" for Ammonium Sulphate, "CC" for Copper Carbonate, and, "Matchay, A laoght and a Straok" for matches and strike paper). We also have a bunsen. In fact, we're all set for our own mini experiments.

The postbox is an example of how something can be both useful and amusing - "You have mail" takes on a whole new meaning, and the sight of Adam diving down in the middle of a lesson to "Check His Mail" is one to be seen.


During the last Biology lesson, we didn't have enough time to clear out the postbox (or the secondary postbox on the other side of the room for that matter), so if anybody goes into Lab 2, they can have a good look and find all our old equipment. Perhaps they'd like to make an inventory as, quite frankly, we haven't got a clue how much junk we filled it with.

One problem with the postbox turned out to be an advantage in the comedy deparment - Vinné spent most of the lesson on the floor and had to keep coming up with excuses as to what he was doing. She didn't care towards the end, as his education was over as far as Biology was concerned, but one of the best excuses (which can be partially heard on one of the vids), was that there was a "B*stard bug down there! Look at it! It's got, like, 12 horns and twenty legs!"

Later on, Robots would hear cries of "It's that bastard bug again!"
