Good job it wasn’t curry night …

Haven’t we all been there?

A poisonous Biryani on a Saturday night, and there’s just a little too much distance between you and the thunderbox.

Will you make it, or will the compost hit the air conditioning big time?

It’s a nerve-shredding moment, and it feels like your life depends on making those last few yards to safety.

It doesn’t matter who or what gets in your way. You now have the resolve of a superhero to get there, come what may.

What happens when you get behind that door doesn’t matter. You’ll have reached safety, and will sort out the collateral damage later.

If that scenario brings you out in a cold sweat, imagine that happening several miles up in space.

The prospect would be truly terrifying.

Well, that’s almost what happened to the crew of Artemis II shortly after launch on their mission around the moon last week.

Yup, that’s right.

Millions will have been spent building the finest systems that NASA’s engineers can offer, and the one critical bit of kit that throws a wobbly is the khazi.

Luckily, the crew hadn’t eaten a poisonous biryani that day, and the loo’s malfunction was fixed before things got critical.

It’s also a reminder of something else.

When things go wrong, what really matters isn’t the problem… it’s who’s there to deal with it.

Whether it’s a spacecraft or a print job, you want someone calm, experienced, and already thinking two steps ahead.

If you’ve got a project, event, or campaign coming up and you’d like the print side to look sharp and run smoothly, we’re here for a quick chat.

Until next week.
