    Does somebody phone ESB and let them know.

    What happens if nobody phones ESB thinking somebody else will do it.

    Power is out all over my area in galway

    You use batteries and candles and curse the idiot who cut into the power lines.

    It gets dark,
    Your fridge stops working,
    your beer gets warm,
    but then the heating doesn't work so your house gets cold and its all OK again.

    What happens when the power goes out?

    ...Aaa the lights go out?

    ...Yore ma's personal toy gets turned on in her attempt to pass the time?

    ...The electronic voting machines that we are all paying storage for, gets even more badly conditioned as they have to be kept in the right conditions!

    ...You get to save on your ESB bill!

    ...As you can't then play with the remote control for the telly, you get more time to play with yourself?

    Just a few quick guesses...

    My "Fúck the ESB" kit consists of my laptop being plugged into a power-inverter connected to a car battery. Then it's calor-gas camping stove + 1 kettle.
