Alright Wally, I'll use the stairs if you insist. I was planning to use my spider super powers and crawl down the walls from the 5th floor.

A few of us going to the Duke.

You will all be pleased to know that Cathy Chair gave birth to a bouncing baby girl yesterday.

When the paramedics arrived they decided that she should deliver the baby where she was before taking her to hospital. They say labour was probably brought on by Cathy climbing the stairs.

Cathy's husband Gary says mum and baby are doing fine and Cathy promises to bring the little girl in soon.

Mr Spart says he found the You Tube film about the bid to climb the south face of Waterloo House quite amusing and he was impressed by the film making skills of some of our staff but as he couldn't recognise anyone under their oxygen masks, balaclavas and parka hoods he doesn't know who to congratulate.

However, now he thinks it is time the 'base camp' established on the fifth floor fire escape landing should be taken down as it's probably in breach of fire safety regulations.

Frustration over the continuing problem of the lift cannot excuse fire regulations breaches.

Please remove it by end of work today.

Thank you.

I am glad to be able to report that Norman Clackett, of credit control on the fourth floor, is at home recovering from what was a mild heart attack suffered while ascending the stairs two days ago.

It's not clear when he'll be back at work but we have sent flowers and a card. Lydia says visitors will be welcome from next week.

Thanks,
Vesta Plank, HR director.

Working "normally" Laura? I would like to take issue with your assertion since, for as long as anyone round here can remember, the "normal" condition of our lift is stationary, ie: it doesn't move. I contend that now it appears to be able to ascend and descend between floors this is a decidedly abnormal state of affairs.

Just engaging in a bit of philosophical banter, Nick old son. Sorry if your neanderthal Chelsea IT brain can't cope with such complex concepts.
