INT
Man enters shop, John Cleese is behind the desk.

Man: I'd like to buy a fire alarm.

Cleese: Yes sir we have a wide selection, we've got the Ghandi alarm that's very popular.

Cleese hits a button.

Ghandi Alarm: No fire can hurt me without my permission.

Cleese: Or the Mr T Alarm

Mr T Alarm: I pity the fool who doesn't escape this fire!

Hey everybody. Fell asleep a few floors down, but some guy woke me up screaming bloody murder about a fire and how we were all gonna die. But seeing as how there's no actual fire, I must have dreamed it. Oh, well. Who's got the liquor?

May you have enough.

we were all pissed off in work today and got very close to tripping the fire alarms so we could all have a nice lie down in the shop without thousands of children screaming hissy fitting, whining fighting and playing the instruments very badly but with much gusto at top volume.

Yes, even the WeeeeeewaaaaaaaWeeeeeeeeeeWaaaaaaaaweeeeeeeeewaaaaaaaaa... is infinitly preferable to small children.


But sadly, like the plans to sell them to the circuss or clingfilm them to the hearest tree, that idea had to be shelved for the legal technicalities.

If we had a fire alarm for our building, we'd have the two language setting - english for the few visitors we get who understand it and the staff, and scouse for the rest - something along the lines of 'ee luv, grab wat yer can theres a fire, got any spare change? gis a fag...'

(er, fag as in brit slang for cigarette, not yank slang for homosexual)


But you know what? I'm going to stop moaning about that place now, as, fantastically, bar my boss being a b****, i don't have to go back in now until after D*C, so i can now devote all my energy to packing, finishing stuff and getting very very happy and excited!

As some people may be aware the city of Chicago has a professional soccer team. That team is called 'The Chicago Fire' playing on perhaps the most important event of our reasonably young city's life - the great fire of 1871. This was a very important event not because of the fire so much as the rebuilding afterward. Anyway I was sitting in the stands the other day watching the team win a game for a change when I started wondering how they would word the announcement if the stadium they play in actually was on fire. If they just shout, 'fire,' of course everybody is just going to assume they are trying to start a cheer. It's a conundrum.

Yay for packing for D*C.
Unfortunately, Adam has had to cancel. Summer and Alan still plan to attend at this point.
