Power Cut!

fallbayuk · 18 Feb 2006 at 22:53

Been sat in darkness for the past 2 hours thanks to a complete power cut in my area. This sucks big time! Even worse the electricity company say they don't know when its going to be sorted...the only link i've got to the outside world is this PDA. Can't even go and make a brew while we're waiting

It's not exactly the end of the world.

I used to love power cuts - I found them an enjoyable experience, for some reason.

How would a time travel device have helped him though...?

There was a power cut near me last monday. It was a shame because the school production of Grease was on - they were like 10 mins into it and everything went dark.

They are annoying

I used to love powercuts when I was a kid, back in the 70's we used to get quite a lot. Watching a B&W portable tv powered by a car battery by candlelight drinking tea made on a camping gas stove. My day bought a gas mantle lantern, it made a great noise when you lit it.

I miss powercuts like that.
