Ka-boom! Southampton is burning!
Got back to work after a good weekend to the result of this photo which I'll explain in a bit.
We went to see some drama students do A Clockwork Orange at the University on Friday night. Lucky there were more than 9 of us as there must have been some late takers. Sets were limited to the budget as well as the costumes. The Moloko bar was simply some old stackable chairs with a 'rope' light curled into a sign.
Saturday was a party at Emma and James who will be setting off to Hong Kong, OZ and NZ in 2 or 3 weeks. Set up my decks for some entertainment and glad to see/hear it went off well. Alot of people remembering me from Em's 21st party. Thanks to James (another one) for giving me some deck needles for letting him DJ. By about 2am people who starting to flag and get a bit over-friendly with the furniture playing 'people pile up'.
Anyway, Monday morning I arrive at work with loads of tape sectioning off areas around the university. Car park was empty with security running around. Then I see one of the buildings near-by. Totally gutted and black from a fire. According to the BBC news article it took about 10 hours to put it out and smoke upto 100ft high. Loads of gas cylinders and research equipment plus phd student work gone.
Photo taken from a student posting it on the Student Union website and shows the building I work in and the smoke.
