power cut

Shryke

I have a handful of candles and a smart phone. I just took a spin and the power seems to be out for a few miles around. I met the fire brigade heading the other way on the road. There may have been an accident.
Reading by candle light isn't so romantic, it's a shadowy affair.
No power in laptop.
I remember this was cool when I was a kid. Now it's just kind of stupid, and dark. Pretty dark.

Hande hoche!

Perhaps sleep?

Fap. A lot. You can still get the good stuff on an Iphone yes?

Drive your car into your house and turn on the head lights, problem solved.

Shryke

Galway county and not a towny. Just unprepared then?
I'm not really a going to bed type. Not remotely tired. Chilling out with neighbours cat in the kitchen.
I'm sitting here thinking that technology has ruined us. With no distractions I could really see myself achieve more in life. I'm thinking this while I play with my smart phone. :P

you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself, i just vomited my subway

Where To

If you stick your fingers in a socket and jump up and down really really really hard you should generate enough leccy to run a light or two.

The first thing I did. Clearly some kind of emp device that detonated near by. I settled for lighting those candles I have instead.

Poor Galway

Poor water
Airport shut down, gone bust
No ESB
Fidelma Healy Eames making a laugh out of ye
Terrible at GAA
City business is quiet as the students are gone

Bad time to be a Galwegian

Shryke

Mike you obviously didn't see us beat kilkenny to win the Leinster cup.
Water from or own well and that lark.

I was considering using the gas cooker to heat water for tea but I have my feet up and the cat has gone to sleep on my legs. Bit of a growl coming off her. I'm still thinking about it.

You don't know much about GAA do you? The Galway hurlers are going mighty well and might yet win the All-Ireland!

Aertel. It's page 520 for boards.ie and he has to type out his posts with the remote control.

Shryke's hard wired into here. None of your Cat5e crap, fiberO all the way. With a UPS, naturally. Or else he's got a smart phone with one bar of battery left.

Hmmmm. I have a gun

You know what I love about powercuts? The fact that the whole street, town or surrounding area/whatever goes pitch black. Its really eerie and spooky.
also my house alarm has a tendency to make demonic death noises when the power cuts.

I don't think you're making the effort, or you've suffered a stroke.

Of all the places to make your 3,000th post, surely Aertel in the dark would have been the last place you were expecting.

You near Loughrea? I hear there's a power cut there. I wouldn't bet on it being fixed any time soon,; probably hard to get a (sober) crew on a bank holiday weekend.
