Bang!!!!!
or.... "Why you shouldn't leave milk in a flask too long.
At work we don't have access to a kitchen or fridge so a couple of us share two flasks, one is filled up(usually by me) each day with hot water, the other keeps the milk fresh usually for a couple of days. Anyway, I was off work ill for a couple of days last week due to a throat infection (Thanks love!!! ) and was on a course this week for the first three days. I arrived at work today to find my desk covered in compressed cardboard type stuff that looked like it had been deliberately broken up all over the place, the floor was covered in teh stuff as well. At first I was curious as to what it was and it didn't take long to find out.
It turns out that whilst I was away nobody had bothered to fill the flask with hot water so no-one had been having milk in their brews. As it was, there was over 1/2 a pint of milk that had been left in the flask that had gone off. Well, it turns out that at 4:30 on Tuesday evening the pressure build up in the (metal) milk flask reached epic proportions and was enough to blow the cap off with such force that I've been told it was said that "It sounded like a bomb going off" and the cap blew straight up into the false ceiling bringing half a dozen tiles down!!!!
So I'm now known as "Bomb boy " ......
