Well...erm...err....oh yeah, about 5 months or so ago they had a fire on their
roof. I was watching from upstairs and was probably the first to spot it, you
know, since I've been sitting there with binoculars for the last few years and
all! At first we thought it was just buggered air conditioning or something
and then the fire engines turned up.

Other than that nothing to report. And unfortunately I've since left that
company as it has been closed down but at least those developers over there
don't have to worry about me staring at them from across the road any more!
