Oh I'd kill for a cup of tea!

Dubrub

I cant understand that now with the snow and ice gone and the thaw more or less completed I am in my 4th day without water,,, It is getting to be a humanitarian issue here in my house were we can no longer flush toilets or wash ourselves and only in the last few hours the council has is providing access to a "water station" that is over a mile away,,, grrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!!
Should I accept it or be really really p1ssed off with how this country is run???

I actually don't drink it either, or coffee for that matter. People always think I'm weird when I tell them after they offer me some when I go to their house.

On the flip side they also think I'm and ignorant bastard for not offering them any when they come to my house....it just never occurs to me that someone might want to drink it.

A little snow and no trasnport and no water? Yes, you should be pissed off. I suggest a riot, as the song says.

Pff you go, report back when you're done.

Don't forget to rinse thoroughly, it can be a streaky. Might as well wash it twice while you're at it:rolleyes:

P.s. I have no water either.

Killing someone is not going to make your tea come any faster OP. It will just help you pass the time.

This couldnt be funnier, the whole of Dublin decides that they'll leave the taps running to stop pipes freezing and then they moan when demand is outstripping supply. Do you think there is enough drinking water in reserve for you to waste for days on end without issues? They then proceed to blame the government because they all are inconsiderate towards the consequences of their own actions.

Spot on. You'd think people would have a bit of cop on to collect snow and/or rain water.

I dont get it either. Especially when they cant take a shower/flush the toilet/wash their clothes yet tea is still their most pressing concern.

Local-womanizer

I could goes for days without a wash but only a few hours for tea.

Tea is my petrol. I love tea. Hard te beat.

I notice it's mostly Dubs coming on boards and starting threads moaning about their water loss. :rolleyes:

Did you not Fill a Reservoir when you were warned or at least aware of the possibility that your water may be missing for a few days?

Maybe its just standard practice in Southeast US, but you fill your bathtub with cold water, this is your source of water for about a week. Sound dirty? You can buy a Bathtub-Form reservoir bag: http://www.google.com/products?q=bathtub+emergency+bag&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=pd1MS4HMJoGvtgf_obzqDA&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CCIQrQQwAg

No I don't think the government should have to dig us out of this. It's the smug attitude. I hope you don't mind if I quote one of your posts from a few days back;

Come join the "National Crisis" debate.

My what a sheltered life you Pats live.

Weather conditions like this are kind of rare over here and a lot of people are frustrated. Some of them are directing their anger unfairly at government, I freely admit. I don't think it's fair to say we live sheltered lives. I know you're American and I think it's a bit rich that you're taking a swipe at us.

Why don't you use melted snow for the toilets? If you poor a bucket of water into the toilet it will activate a flush. So melt containers of snow and keep them for the toilets, live by the "If it's yellow it's mellow, if it's brown* flush it down" maxim while the water is gone.

Use babywipes for washing your stinky body parts. And if you don't fancy using boiled snow to drink buy cheap mineral water. I have an allergy to something in the tap water and have to drink bottled water all the time anyway, just get the store brand stuff and it's not too expensive.
