Electricity is gone...

    So the electricity is gone, shîte.

    I knew I shouldn't have ignored the battery health warning on my laptop, it lasted about 20 minutes.

    Phone is on 36% and dropping rapidly... What the feck am I gonna do for the evening?

    Home alone so I can't even play hide 'n seek :(

    Edit: I assume the power will be gone a while so to those that suggest jacking off, there are only so many times that can be done in one night.

    Good call. No electricity is bad but no drink + no electricity = panic.

    Nope, usually charge it every night.

    Bad news, all shops closed so cans are out.

    I've a bottle of Paddy (Jaysus) and a few cans of coke... This could be a rough night

    Hold the phone close by and the static electricity will charge it, if you can achieve that level of fury.

    Have you considered cocooning yourself in duct tape?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,708 ✭✭✭✭Mr. CooL ICE


    Right, that's it. I'm gonna fap while there's still electricity. Here's hoping it doesn't cut out at the important part

    That should calm you down, tis an awful shock to the system living without electricity.

    Any electricians or members of the ESB look away now . .

    But a small genny that fell off the back of a lorry for a €100, when the power goes out pull the main fuse and horse her up to the mains. Be sure and plug it out before you switch back to mains power as I think there's a law against harming people on poles. :)

    Just a thought for the next time. :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,264 ✭✭✭✭jester77


    Ah here, why don't you just go out and start the car, run a long cable out and plug it into the cigarette lighter, and plug the other end into an extension lead. Then you can plug in the TV, a lightbulb and your laptop. Problem solved.

    I’m looking at a tv show that is showing internet animal videos.

    So far so good.

    The current video is of someone applying eye, eye-brow and lipstick make-up to a monkey. And the monkey is loving every minute of it.

    You know what….life is good with electricity.

    This was my fear for this evening yet I was still too lazy to walk the 10 feet it would take me to put it on the charger.

    Thankfully my power stayed on (for now), sucks to be you op 😉
