It’s not often we gather round the TV at Rothco, usually we save it for special occasions like a pending Andy Murray Wimbledon implosion or a very slow Irish horse expected to excel at Cheltenham. So it made a change yesterday to turn it on yesterday as the cricket neared completion. All of a sudden closet cricket fans arrived announcing they’d been following it all day. One staff member was even heard to mutter, “I know nothing about the game and my life will remain completely unchanged no matter what the result… but Jaysus this is great!”
The crowd multiplied, confusion reigned but like Russian queues, interest had been aroused. So people stopped to see what was going on. Of course at Rothco we like to think we have strong ties to this Irish cricket team, sure didn’t Kevin O’Brien join us for a game of all star lunchtime football only a couple of months ago, Paul Hughes still reckons he gave him all the advice he’d ever need. Job done.
We spotted this All Blacks Summer Skills video emailed in to us from a contact in Australia (not NZ believe it or not). Pretty impressive skills boys & not bad at 50,000 views on YouTube. Check it out….
If Lucy had a broken arm, she might plan a party for her nurses as a thank you. Captain Roger might buy a bottle of Champagne for each of his Squadron pilots to say ‘Thanks for your flying skills, men’.
In the same way, the owners of Rothco have come up with a lovely way of saying ‘thanks’ to the staff for their ideas, hard work, passion, dedication, late nights & for caring so deeply about creating brilliant work in twenty ten.
They’ve created the first ‘Thank Holiday’.
Announcing.... drum roll... The Rothco Thank Holiday!
So, on Friday the 25th of February 2011, Rothco will keep its doors shut for the whole day as each & every member of the Rothco team takes a well deserved day off. •••
