You shot me!
(Not so) GIP! That's one of my windows, that is. While I was typing up my last post, there was an almighty bang, not unlike a gun going off, and certainly louder than the fireworks that I've had over the last couple of weeks. Naturally, I drew back the curtains to look out of the window and see what was going on. What I discovered was that it was the window itself that was going on. It looks very much like a gunshot hole in the outer pane of the double glazing (the inner pane is thankfully intact), plus there are long cracks running to the edge of the glass. What caused the break, I have no idea, but I'm guessing that the sound was in fact an implosion rather than an explosion. In any case it's really rather worrying - either somebody is trying to kill me (rather incompetently, at least), or the T00blerone is about to collapse around me. Or neither of the above. Methinks I'll be calling the managing agents tomorrow...
Update: By the power of Google! This article could explain it - the paragraph under 'Negative Pressure Breakage' describes pretty much exactly what happened.
