"A particular film"

Posted by Nick Waterman on 2002/05/13 11:57

Cool! My workplace has organised a company outing to see "a particular film"
on thursday afternoon. They're not allowed to tell us what film it is, because
they're doing the same in our head office in Canada too, and they've not
announced it over there yet. Apparently it's some kind of RIM tradition to
block-book most of a cinema whenever a "particular film" comes out.

What a cool company to work for, eh? Before you ask...

To make matters even more amusing, I know that at least 3 of the guys in the
Canadian office have already taken time off work to queue up outside the
cinema for most of last week... In stormtrooper uniforms... but hey, I somehow
doubt they'll mind seeing it twice ;-)

By a weird coincidence I've had to book Thursday off for a BT Engineer to
come and install an extension socket (1) to my phone line in my new room at
home (2). Finding I've agreed to dinner that night and that I have an
afternoon free I had a bit of a gap in my schedule so strangely enough I'm
going to the cinema too. I wonder if we're seeing the same thing ?

To make matters even more amusing, I know that at least 3
of the guys in the Canadian office have already taken time
off work to queue up outside the cinema for most of last week...

:-) I hope they've enjoyed themselves !

Notes:

1) How hard was it to convince BT to put an extension into a house with an
ADSL filter on it ? In the end I had to buy the filter seperately ! I
bet we're in for a good arguement with the engineer over that when he shows
up....

2) Yes you read right, new room. Those who've been to Chateau Phil will
know there's an extension on the side of the house which has in turn housed
my eldest brother, my youngest brother and a lodger. The lodger has gone,
the decorating is done and the videos are moving in. Anyone want some
DS9, Voyager and X-Files that I no longer want ?

"A particular film"

My plan to see a particular film tommorow in leicster square at a
particular showing was dashed as the person arranging the tickets
could not contact me in time to confirm that I was going. Tickets
were cheap as well for that type of showing.
