I realised on the train home on Sunday that I'd left my Nintendo DS in Leicester. I knew exactly where it was - in the drawer of the bedside cabinet. I remembered putting it there because I was worried about falling over it on the floor, and thinking "Is this a sensible place to leave it? Will I forget it?" - and convincing myself that it was perfectly safe since I would see the DS charger plugged into the wall immediately above it, and that would remind me. HOW WRONG I WAS!
After a great deal of faff, I managed to get through to someone competent in the security lodge, who found the DS within minutes. Also
