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.
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
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.
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
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:They were all staring fixedly at the aquarium.
We threw several dead fish away discreetly during the lunch break
