The crazy thing is is that theres a little door in the base of the partiton - no one knows why its there, and we can find the keys that turn the lock, but it doesn't open, so he's trapped there, waiting for someone to work out how to open the mystery door and let him out.

By the way he's 12" long and made of plastic.

(jadehand -don't even think about it)

But loosing him was still traumatising.

What'd I do?

I go out to take care of business and the thread blows up.
I hope you get your Orca

back real soon. Maybe the door got painted shut, try running a thin screwdriver around the cracks (of the door) then try the key again

Alright then. How to save the orca...

Is there a small hole in the middle of the doorknob to that little door? If so then try untwisting a coat hanger and putting it in there. If you twist it just right, it should definitely unlock the door (provided you can open it at all).

Also, maybe try a crowbar? you probably don't want to damage the door, so that might not be such a good idea.

It sounds like the oh..hot dang, that's the pic of Mal kissin' Saffron that just popped up over there...

Sorry, got distracted. Ummm..Oh yea! Sounds like it isn't the lock that's the problem, but that the door doesn't fit in the frame straight?
Screwdriver solution sounds like the right one. Unless you feel like drilling a hole in the door and patching it up later.
Did you say it was painted PINK? Good heavens, might pay to drill a hole in it just to repaint!

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
Don't want a doll, no dinky Tinker Toy
I want a hippopotamus to play with and enjoy

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
I don't think Santa Claus will mind, do you?
He won't have to use our dirty chimney flue
Just bring him through the front door,
that's the easy thing to do

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

I want a hippopotamus for Christmas
Only a hippopotamus will do
No crocodiles, no rhinoceroses
I only like hippopotamuses
And hippopotamuses like me too

Mom says the hippo would eat me up, but then
Teacher says a hippo is a vegeterian

There's lots of room for him in our two-car garage
I'd feed him there and wash him there and give him his massage

I can see me now on Christmas morning,
creeping down the stairs
Oh what joy and what surprise
when I open up my eyes
to see a hippo hero standing there

This is true, because I choose to believe it and i'm much closer to them (geographically speaking) than you are.

The whale is still lost, alas! I tried the wire and the screwdriver, no luck, the door is set completely flush with the wall its in, with only like a millimeter of gap around it.

our hopes rest with the guy coming to replace lightbulbs soon, we are going to steal his ladder and try the coat hangar fishing idea.

we sent him (the whale) a food parcel today - a nice mix of plastic and paper bits, he landed tail down so at least he's reasonably comfortable, we just have to wait and see...

yeah I like olander, it gets my vote.

People are begining to think i'm wierd though, caring so much.

The number of funny looks i get a day is rising too, used to be one, maybe two, but today it was a bout six. Most of those were because i was snickering (yes, despite my ladylike ways, I snicker) for no visible reason (i had actually baught the serenity visual companion in a moment of 'must. re...s..eeeeeeeeesssss..t - oh go on then..' weakness on amazon, and it arrived as i was leeving the house, so i smuggled it into work and was sat reading the screenplay)

another was when i was sat talking to a small rubber dinosaur. (working in a toy shop doe's strange thing to people - you've seen wonderfalls...

Some guy came into try and convert me today, he's stalking a co-worker, and thought he might try to kill two birds with one stone, he went away shocked that i told him the truth (i believe in god i just really don't like religion) he just kind of ambled off, or maybe it was becauuse i got the glass cleaner out and wasn't being to careful where i was spraying, who knows.

I'm in South London, Wales is about two - three hours away by car.

I was going to adopt a whale once, but they didn't put everything in the pack, plus I didn't think that a whale would fit in a pond.

Where about in south london? I used to go to a college in Greenwich, nr the Cutty sark and the observatory, I loved it down there, then had to move back home.

Work....I fear the day I finally start working for a living. Being a lazy college student doesn't warrant much work from me at the time (though finals are tomorrow, should be studying).

Today I started thinking about wanting to do a Firefly Fan Film of some kind. Probably a short documentary of sorts. I've already got a title all picked out:
