I had a conference call earlier and my mate and I were first there waiting for the wimmin ::)
We fell to discussing some of our past misadventures and he reminded me of one I had forgotten about/buried. redface:
Aside from the "is this your ear-ring" disaster of 1994, and my altercation with Virginia Bottomley's mother, we reminisced about the aquarium disaster redface:
We were running a training session in a hotel for about 25 people. We needed to show them a video, but there was, incredibly, only one double powerpoint in the room. This was fully occupied by the plugs required for the heater and aerator in an aquarium. rubschin: We decided to risk unplugging it for a bit, but halfway through the vid the delegates drew our attention to the anguished fish flapping, floating and gasping eeek: scared2:
We stopped the vid. Reconnected the life support systems and gave them a tea break. WHen the fish seemed to have settled down we unplugged them again and carried on, but we had lost the audience noooo:. noooo:They were all staring fixedly at the aquarium.
We threw several dead fish away discreetly during the lunch break redface:

Why didn't you just ask the hotel staff for an adaptor ? rubschin:
-
We didn't think redface:
-
"We didn't think"- no change there then.

I'm a calamity, get me out of here... whistle:
