“Strange,” mused the Director, as they turned away, “strange to think that even in Our Ford’s day most games were played without more apparatus than a ball or two and a few sticks and perhaps a bit of netting. imagine the folly of allowing people to play elaborate games which do nothing whatever to increase consumption.”

The Black Chapter!

I need to store a large amount of material that is highly sensitive to being knocked - shooting it, for example, will cause it to explode. For this reason, I've been thinking that it would be safest to avoid putting it all in one place - after all, then it might all go off at once - but rather to scatter it around my house in many smaller containers. I don't really want to fill the rooms with all this stuff, so I've been stashing it around the corridors. Don't be thinking that I'm irresponsible or anything - I've not just been leaving explosive material lying around - I've hired guards to stand near the barrels, to protect them from any potential attack.

The thing is, I can't quite decide what colour to paint these barrels. The corridors walls are painted white, so there's no real colour coordination issues to be had... What can you suggest?

Painting the barrels red will help the feng shui, no doubt.

I initially painted them orange, so that they are highly visible - don't want anyone tripping over the explosive barrels, after all - but I just don't like the colour. I've been thinking blue, butI'm not sure if that is a clear enough warning to satisfy the H&S guys... (ridiculous! You can't deploy nerve gas nowadays without someone from OSHA giving you a ticket...)

Have you tried red? People tend to avoid shooting those, though I can't figure out why.
