Today Linda and I were struggling to find something to write about in our blog. It's been a relatively calm and gentle day in the office, and besides writing about VAT & taxes there's not an awful lot happening in the news either. Just as we were seriously debating starting an 'FF Pets Corner' (oh yes it really was getting that desperate), the lovely Emma Parkinson, one of our Firers, leapt to our aid with a very funny story which we decided we must share with you all.
So over to Emma:
" How about (blogging about) how working for Fantastic Fireworks helps you if you’re looking for an exciting nightlife?
Let me tell you a story about James Tossell and I getting shut on the roof of a shopping centre in Portsmouth last week. Somebody opened the lift door on the bottom floor, leaving us stranded in the dark with all our kit, the client gone for the night and nobody answering the radio.
We had to clamber over air con vents and all sorts to find the only other open door on the roof of the complex. We went through the mystery door and followed a funny little corridor down past staff rooms and notices and then… wandered straight out into Portsmouth’s branch of Tiger Tiger nightclub… Which was going on in full swing… In our grimy red overalls…
We had to walk all the way through the nightclub from the top floor, getting funny looks from all the dressed up punters and more than a few comments, too. And given some of the advances we got, if you’re out on the pull in Portsmouth you could do far worse than to go out wearing red overalls and a hard hat. "
I'm sure that story has made you all giggle/cringe sympathetically for poor Emma & James as much as it did me! And as for Emma's top tip of red overalls & a hard hat for your next big night out... well that's the Christmas party outfit sorted then ;o)
