    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.

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

    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.

    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!
    Yore Ma!

    I did do your ma. I video taped it as well, check out the YouTube rip off amatuer porn site for proof ;)

    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!
