ahhh, so you have all the 'fire alarm' paraphernalia to contend with too, do you Steve??...you have my sincere sympathies...Smile
 
I have to test them every Friday...(ideally when customers aren't in the showers...Embarrassed) and ensure that its a different panel every week...and ensure that my line manager signs it off on a monthly basis.  I also have to do fire drills periodically, and organise both alarms and extinguishers to be tested (by 2 different companies) bi-annually...Sleepy
 
after all, its no fun having to do a roll-call at 3am in your 'Jamas because some spider has set up home in a smoke detector...Ouch (and it HAS happened...)

I'll have probably moved away by then Angry!

By our normal standards we'll probably get them in 2020 and they'll cost £50 squillion each.

And I'll have retired.

by the time we get that far, there will be no such thing as the state pension, and your company one will have gone down the toilet owing to the credit crunch...we'll all be scraping a living cleaning the toilets at St Pancras station, well into our dotage...Ouch

Not much going on here, browsing the last two pages. That's good - I'll just put up my feet, have a drink and relax. I need that, after a gig for 800 people last night. Smile

I hope you weren't searching too hard for the old Grey Room? 
 
sadly, it was a victim of a bizarre 'spontaneous internal combustion' incident, owing to a freak build up of noxious gases...Pinch
 
can't imagine for the life of me, whose they might have been....Embarrassed
 
still, we didn't let on to the Insurance company that there might have been some 'fowl' play, and look what we got as a replacement...Big%20smile

LOL You're probably right... our audience consisted of some 400-500 employees of the company I left three weeks ago, with their partners. We played three 70s-90s cover sets to celebrate the company's 30th anniversary. Not much Threshold fans in that crowd I expect...
