Sound, vision and smoking.

Well there was much excitement today!

I recorded a sound clip of the fire alarm going through it's usual incident --> get out we're burning. We did actually have an 'incident' though which makes a change. Security officers literally came running from no where, and I was surprised by how many they actually have - they must hide away in their control room most of the day. My phone however decided not to save the clip, which is great.

I also got a picture of how fries should look like, fresh from the frier for Arriva Driver and also 'Sweet n Low' for James who's blog looks quite different/interesting! So I got home intending to upload them, but neither are there. I'll have to try again.

Other news is that, I'm going to another store for a day soon...I'll be looking out for filth and poor standards, I hope not to find any though.

And one telephone call, I resorted to saying "We are a slice bar we don't take bookings!!" because after 3 attempts of describing the restaurant format I gave up.

On the smoking point. It has affected us and the shopping centre very little because about 18 months ago it became non-smoking anyway. They have put up the usual "It is illegal to smoke in these premises" now though. I like all the signs, it makes the place look healthy!

Thanks for the Blog mention. ;-)

We saw all those "Illegal to smoke" signs everywhere too in Chelmsford Town Centre yesterday.

Don't know if you are a Sci-Fi fan, but the "slice bar" thing made me grin and reminded me of Dave Lister and Holly in "Red Dwarf" when Dave first emerges from his punishment "stasis" in the very first episode entitled "The End";

/quote from http://www.totalreddwarf.co.uk/;

11 Int. Stasis booth.

LISTER, in the same pose as before, unfreezes. The door opens and he walks out.

HOLLY: Good morning, Dave. It is now safe for you to emerge from stasis.
LISTER: Haven't I just gone in?
HOLLY: Please proceed to the Drive Room for debriefing.

LISTER walks down the corridor, looking around. As he enters the mess, he notices small piles of white powder on some of the tables.

LISTER: Where is everybody, Hol?

LISTER sticks his finger in one of the piles of white powder and tastes it.

HOLLY: They're dead, Dave.
LISTER: Who is?
HOLLY: Everybody, Dave.
LISTER: What, Captain Hollister?
HOLLY: Everybody's dead, Dave.
LISTER: What, Todhunter?
HOLLY: Everybody's dead, Dave.
LISTER: What, Selby?
HOLLY: They're all dead. Everybody's dead, Dave.

12 Int. Corridor.

LISTER is still trying to understand what HOLLY is saying.

LISTER: Petersen isn't, is he?
HOLLY: Everybody is *dead*, Dave.
LISTER: Not Chen?
HOLLY: Gordon Bennett! Yes! Chen, everybody. Everybody's dead, Dave.
LISTER: Rimmer?
HOLLY: He's dead, Dave. Everybody's dead. Everybody is dead, Dave!
LISTER: Wait. Are you trying to tell me everybody's dead?
HOLLY: I wish I'd never let him out in the first place.

Lighting a cigarette is often seen as an effective way of avoiding the appearance of idleness or mere loitering. For adolescents, it can function as a first step out of childhood or as an act of rebellion against the adult world. Also, smoking can be seen as a sort of camaraderie....
