Fellowship of the pizza

I seem to have organised a movie night at work. I'm not entirely sure how, as is my way, but I have. It all happened after I discovered that the boardroom, which I don't have access to, has a large projector coupled to a dvd player and what appears to be a reasonably decent sound system. And there are comfy chairs in there. The comfy chairs are very important. Not that I know any of this, not having access to the boardroom as I do.

I then commented to our MD in passing that it was a shame we couldn't use to boardroom after work to show dvd's or play console games and much to my surprise he enthusiastically supported my proposal. I either didn't have the heart or else valued my job too much to point out that it wasn't a proposal or a suggestion, merely a comment... hence my new found and rather unlikely position as social coordinator.

Not that I'm complaining about the end result. We're not a terribly social group at work, not because we aren't friendly people or don't enjoy each others company, but rather because everyone can't wait to get out of Feltham once the working day is done. Feltham, for those of you who have so far remained blissfully unaware of it's presence, is home to the largest young offenders institution in Europe and... not much else really. Except for us. Consequently it's rather hard to enthuse people about the prospect of a night out in Feltham. Still the idea of hanging around after work consuming copious quantities of pizza and watching a good film seems to be have tempted a few heads.

The first film on the schedule is, by popular demand, The Fellowship of The Ring (the extended edition obviously). If all goes well, I'll follow it up with the Two Towers in a few weeks and then make a final push to get people to actually venture outside to see Return of The King when that's released.

Now I just need to work out a way to organise that without ever giving the appearance of being in charge of anything...
