Power outage

[AtW]

Woke up this morning much earlier than planned - feeling cold, ****** power is off - not just me whole street, apparently for 3 hours - some ****** doing some ****** work and either ****** up big time or it was always part of the plan to turn off power for whole street in early hours of Sunday.

******* ******!!!!

This would have never happened in Soviet Union.

Exactly.

Your house in Russia used paraffin.

Inconsistencies in the electrical supply grid are the hallmarks of a third world country

We'd better get used to it...

Went to the office, I planned to do it later anyway - now I won't get my usual Sunday Roast Beef from good local pub and will have to use tulipy half price one next to our office.

No, he warmed up by other means -

One New Year’s morn, before I got hitched up with ex-mrs HAB, I awoke to find no power in the condo. The first think I thought was, ‘What on earth did I do last night to cause this?’ I was completely blotto the night before down the Sea View bar so I had this terrible feeling of guilt that I had done something silly. When I got up I immediately discovered that I could not wash, or have a cup of coffee. Also no computer, phone, radio, television, or air conditioning. It makes one realise just how dependant we are on that utility.

I walked around the complex to discover nobody had any power. I still had this guilty feeling that it was all my fault though. So I went for a walk and found that most of our end of the island was without power. I went back home and went for a dip in the pool for a bit.

By noon I was getting a bit fed up with it all, so I went down the bar again. As people turned up most had the same story, ‘I woke up this morning to find no power and wondered what I had done the night before to cause this’.
