There was a fire in a bin immediately outside my window.
Smoke Billowing
Bystanders gawking
Headless of my own safety I gallantly sprang into action and ...
checked the kitchen...
checked the hallway...
asked my colleagues - 'um, where is the fire-extinguisher?"
'[giggles] Anhh, it's right beside you'. Oh, yeah, right at my knee*.
So, where were we.. Grabbing the fire-extinguisher I ran out the door and
and

and

bloody pin how do you pull it out?

and

....
and finally, heroically, blasted ash all over the place. Now my cloths stink of ash and burnt plastic.
I think we have the photos up on the internet before Security even arrive.
Yes, I know I need a hair cut.
* actually outside my office that I must have walked past hundreds of times.

You da MAN Stephen...
Now about your fixation on starting fires to make yourself look good...
my hero!
where I am, I would have to walk clear across the open plan office to get to the extinguisher – mounted right next to the photocopier, the thing voted most likely to catch fire. After the sandwich maker/ toaster thingy.
There isn't one outside the kitchen, way across from the photocopier.
Please add firefighter to your list of past professions.
Now, I'm off to find the nearest fire extinguisher in my office.
And maybe buy one for my apartment.
Yay! Like a fearless computer-generated hero! I have no idea where the fire extinguishers are around here. Perhaps I should go find out?
You're a hero. :-)
Amazing how most people will just sit and stare at something like that rather than actually doing something about it eh? Nice one :)
Hey, the second pix would be a good one for your profile shot. U_S, Man Of Action!
Fusion - well, there was that grass fire at the Scout jamboree that may or may not have started close to the 1st Kissingpoint tents.
Mark - I have since noticed that there is another directly in my line of sight if I look at my monitor.
Laura - I'll put it right in between Revivalist and stripper along side Geologist and Sandwich hand
Steve - Do I get a laura croft uniform
Em - I know - did you know they are making a show about, i get all these cool powers, like the ability to boar people to death talking about science and blogging.
Mike - Disturbingly so. I suspect there is a cultural thing with the students too. it's just easier if it is someone else's problem
Xl- The pick of the gheeky kid that was teased at school not doing it for you. I love that pick - such a long time ago.
You big manly man you!
Very macho. And the boy look for the fire extinquisher was a very manly touch.
