Some people are still stupid..

"FOUR teenage boys spent 27 hours trapped in a loft, escaping only after realising that all they needed to do was pull the trapdoor rather than push it.

The boys had gone up to the attic to fetch food and alcohol for a party they were planning while the mother of one of them was on holiday. "

Now that sets a new meaning to slow... :)

Atleast, they finally got out... but, it doesn't say much for this generation.

You know i wish i had a loft or should i say Attick since i try to be as universal as i can.

lol :D

lol, thats all very well and good, but if you thought you were trapped wouldn't you have just bust/smashed up the trap door long before it got to 27 hours?

Yes I would be ripping something out, 30 minutes into it.

Sort of reminds me of the guys who drowned in the back of a pickup truck when it went off the road into a river.... all because the couldn't get the tailgate open.

:D

I wonder if any of the alcohol made it out?

I hope so. Anyone who's that dumb really can't stand to lose the brain cells that the alcohol would kill. In fact, they should be careful to avoid sneezing as well.

God knows how the papers get storys like these.

Ha. That is excellent. Scary, but excellent.

:eek:

Why didn't they just jump over the side :confused:

I live in fear that one day I will do something so utterly stupid that I become the "quircky story of the day" in every newspaper worldwide.

Imagine the embarrasment.
