Get out of jail card…

I've hunted high and low for this video and I've come up trumps!

Any retained firefighters needing to find an excuse for not doing the DIY, not cutting the grass, not washing up or, indeed, any other job your better half has lined up for you – play this video and make sure the volume is turned up. Then find your shoes and head for the door.

Note: Make sure your alerter is actually near to the computer before attempting this bit of skullduggery. Most other half's are adept at spotting the wool being pulled over their eyes!

And for anyone who has not experienced the sound of an alerter at full tilt – just sit back, turn the sound up and imagine this going off at 3am…

Enjoy…
