Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class/I get asphyxiated/Funny how fast you faded

Dear Diary, I’m sorry I haven’t been keeping you up to date, I must try harder. So let’s go back in time (Cue wavy special FX)...

Friday 5 October. It’s Open Day at the University and your truly is wandering back to the Library after lunch. But stay! What’s that niff? It smells like gas, and it turns out that the gas smell is being drawn into the Library through the air vents. Ooops! We quickly move through the building hustling users and visitors towards the entrance, then the alarm goes off and we evacuate outselves. Resplendent in my ‘Hi Vis’ vest we ushers everyone back to the far end of the footbridge which is taped off whilst we await a visit from Transco. While standing there, repelling boarders, we even get a visit from a photographer from The Press, but there’s nothing to see so he just snaps off some pictures of the Transco van when it arrives. It transpires that it wasn’t gas at all, but rather a smell-alike cloud that had escaped from the Chemistry building. Ah, but it was a bit exciting. No musical outing this weekend.
