I bet you've all had this!
It's a dark and stormy night. You have a warming beverage of choice and sat by the fire, perhaps reading a book or watching a movie. Mayhap you're tucked up in bed, trying to drift into dreamland...
...and you hear a noise, and you're sure there's someone else in the house! Is it a prowler, a burglarizer, a dunken lodger falling about after returning from a night of clubbing, or an escaped elephant making it's way up the stairs with the assistance of Michael Stipe?
Well, if you feel brave enough, you often investigate and find it's nothing!
Ah, but after todays kayak stylee revelations, perhaps you only think it isn't nothing! In fact, the previous owner of your home may have been in adulterous liaison with the harridan next door, and built a secret doorway twixt the two houses. That sound you hear is your neighbour, pressing all the secret buttons in the correct order to allow the false partition to slide aside, then popping through your wardobe to hide from their friends and family.
And to nick your stamps!
You see, all this time I thought there was some Goblin going through my stuff and hiding or nicking it, and in all probability it's the woman next door, sneaking into me house and swapping my fresh milk for her out-of-date one.
So check out your wardrobes, cos you never know what your previous owners built into the house, or what they got up to with the neighbours.
I wonder if her next door'll let me have a go at her secret passage (fnarr fnarr)...
