No Electricity: What Can You Actually Do?

FunkZ

Right I woke up there at about nine minutes past one and there was no electricty.

Grand right?
NO! NOT AT ALL!

You can't do anything without it, it's ridiculous, I tried playing guitar. I played for two minutes but I was too **** to be bothered with it!
So I decided to make some food... ya need ****ing electricity to cook these days apparently! So I had a pint of milk.
Then I tried to lift weights, but ya can't do that without some decent loud music. NO MUSIC bar what was coming from my phone.

The electricity came back at 11 minutes to two!

I would not be able to enjoy life without electricity... it would suck more than Christmas when you're older then 15.

What would you do if you were stuck at home with NO electricity?!

Buy a laptop, a mobile broadband modem, and always keep a spare battery charged.

On a day like today I'd drag the couch outside and start drinking.

Light a few candles and read.

Is there any other way? Keep the rest in the freezer until you want them. That should still be cold.

Naos

Read a book? Go on a jog? Eat a sandwich?

Infact you could've eaten everything in the Fridge as you'd never know when the electricity would be back on and you don't want that beer/food to go to waste, so pig out next time.

Cooler box is essential on a day like today...when your all arguementative... ahem, sorry, I;m listening to Arctic Monkeys at the moment!!:D

BaconZombie

Drink all the beer before it goes warm and cook all the meat before it goes off...



Just don't use a disposable BBQ indoors.....

How is this possible without free internet viewing?!

I did think about but I knew it wouldn't have been fun at all, I couldn't have even watched that opeing scene in Bedazzled that I did when I was about 14. Woulda been crap!

You know I was going to start reading The Wheel of Time but the net came back.

And I was going to raid the fridge as well, but it was all uncooked mince and chicken. No ice cream or anything good, but I did havve a nice glass of milk!

You should never throw out your old stuff, you never know when you may need something old, something blue

Hop in a bath the kettle (plugged in) and start cleaning out the toaster with a knife (again plugged in)

Playing chicken with electricity. I like!

Ohhh that sounds dodgey, I like it as well. But the electricity is back ages so I'd well die.

get drunk

DonkeyStyle \o/

Tidy up, read a book, get drunk, write a list of things you like about yourself, masturbate... in that order.
It's worse in the winter though, get a power outage at 7pm and you've got the whole night to sit in darkness. Reading by candle light sucks, but it does feel very retro.

yeah.. porno mags.. by candle light, if its night time ..

bealbocht

actually remember a christmas (27th Dec or there abouts) a few years ago.. where the fuse box blew, and there was no way to get if fixed till after the christmas week. Seem to remember, going to the pub, drinking till late, then coming home and sleeping it off till as late as possible and then going back to the pub.

didnt work out too bad.. ,

But it does suck to high hell having no leckie..

Nintendo DS or masturbate. Both are good.

il gatto

Get a windmill? The chances of it being shagged and the electricity supply going at the same time are slim to nil.
Otherwise, have a camping gas and tinned food handy.
Then maturbate:pac:

If only you could get some sort of dynamo effect from masturbation... that'd solve everything!

**** to the moon!

Can't find the site now, but I remember reading a few years back an article by this guy where he strapped a pedometer (or something similar) around his wrist, jacked off loads and somehow worked out how many chickens you'd need to choke to get to the moon...

nobodythere

If you never had electricity you probably wouldn't be **** at guitar

danniemcq

me and my mates were watchin that viral ad for the blendtech blender and it showed glowsticks getting blended and glowing like a bulb in the blender when he was finished. My mate commented on how handy that would be if the electricity went so you could use it as a bulb. To which my mate noted that without power the blender wouldn't work

BaconZombie

Just get your friend to grind the glowstick with him teeth and make him into a walking light.

Just thought of something... When the power goes, start a fire and you can cook the meat and chicken in the fridge on a spit. Perfect!!

FunkZ

Right, a cycle, today has been boring enough even with electricity!

Holsten

If it goes in the day, read a book.

If it goes in the night, head to bed.

make a fort!

MIN2511

Seriously the modern world has pampered us!!!!

ART6

Few years ago now we had a power cut that lasted all over Christmas. No turkey, no chilled wines, no lights, no TV -- a return to less technological days. We lit the open fire in the dining room and roasted spuds on it, then topped them with cheese and ate them for Christmas dinner by candle light with a bottle of good irish whiskey to wash 'em down with. It turned out to be one of the best Christmasses we had ever had as a family. So bullocks to the ESB. We can survive:D

FunkZ

Thanks TeleTextPair, I'm gonna actually plan on making a fort! :P

DonkeyStyle \o/

I suspect it's all a conspiracy between the power companies and the major candle corporations.
I'll be watching.

FunkZ

I feel like this thread has jinxed me now. My MSN isn't working. That's the best thing electricity gives me
