it only happens in movies....

Brussels, 8 story building next to a noisy street....
A nice apartment on the last floor, with a beautiful terrace accessible via heavy, sliding balcony doors....
L. and drTBBE smoke cigarettes at the terrace and the wind brings all the smoke inside...
I join the smokers outside and .... close the balcony doors to prevent the smoke inside ....
I only hear L.'s voice shouting "noooooo" and exactly that moment I realize that there is (obviously) no door handle outside and we are stuck on the terrace...
I'm blushing and decide to smoke a cigarette too.... I really thought that these sort of things can only happen in class C movies...
drTBBE has his mobile phone with him, but L. doesn't remember any number to call...
Fortunately L. did not lock the entrance doors to the apartment - if we manage to find someone to come up to the 8th floor and open the balcony doors for us - we are saved!!!
We try to make some noise at the neighboring balcony by hitting the balustrade with a wooden stick... no luck...
We shout: Hulp!!!!, Ajuto!!!, Help!!!, Messier!!, Madame!!!.... the street is very noisy, no one notices...
I try to recall how long can people live without food - I am not too worry about the lack of water - we are in Brussels :-)
Shout: Help!!! We desperately wave hands, make a lot noise, shout... Ufff.... 3 boys playing ball on the sidewalk notice us!!!   Yes!!! L. explains the situation and they try to enter the building but no one wants to open the building entrance doors (intercom)... They come back to playing football.... L. convinces them to try again and this time one of the neighbors walks out to the balcony to check if we are there....
Eventually, after being locked at the terrace for about 40 minutes three different neighbors come up (nearly simultaneously) and unlock the balcony doors for us. Saved!!!!
And just on time to watch the finals of the Champions League :-)


I'm still blushing :-)
And laughing...
