Moaners

[haveabeer]

We had a 5 second power cut yesterday and a lot of the locals are up in arms saying this is
the third time this year its about time the sorted it my PC needed to be rebooted my cooker clock needed to be reset the alarm went off boy oh boy what a lot of wingers
I watched those poor people in the Philippines and thought maybe we should round up those wingers and sit them in front of a TV and say you think you got problems

We had two power cuts, surges actually, in very quick succession last year and it cost me a sound card, a monitor and two 6 gang surge protecters.

Did I moan about it ... bloody right I did

I feel for the crews of the ships many many of whom are philippino and will have family at home whom they cannot contact. Especially the crews on cargo ships with no wifi or radio telelphone connection for the crew.

You are so right HaB.

Someone has resterted Portishead Radio Dave and tripped the CBs!

We have power cuts two or three times a year - for us it is a way of life

Hi Dave,

I would agree 5 minutes dose seem to fall into insignificance compared with what others have to endure.

However playing devil’s advocate, whether it is 5 minutes or 5 hours, resetting different household appliances can be a real pain for those who are less mobile, short sighted or not digitally aware.

I pay a lot of money for my electricity. Power cuts are not acceptable.

[Dark Knight]

oh please.......
what a bunch of pampered soft moaners this country has become
get some perspective for heaven's sake

You only pay for the electricity that you use therefore a power cut is saving you money

[Frank Manning]

Better get used to them!! You can not guarantee anything, and they could become more frequent.

I would have used my hamster but he died of a terrible accident. He fell asleep at the wheel.

I can't remember the last time we had a power cut .. definitely not in the last 13 years ... there was a power out at our old address somewhere in the mid 90's but that was due to essential maintenance and we were informed about it 4 weeks in advance ... still didn't stop a load of moaners going off on one though.

I remember the ones in the 70's though. My dad and the neighbours clubbed together and just bought and butchered a cow, a couple of hoggets and a pig and split it between them so the freezers were full .. then the power strikes came ... we were having lamb chops for breakfast, fillet of pork for mid day snack, and fillet steaks for dinner (my dad thought it better to eat the stuff than let it go to waste.

Surely not Ken - you are much too young to remember I do remember them well and it made me chuckle as we had a large chest freezer - they became very popular in the 70's - we all stocked them up and as you say when the power went off instead of leaving them closed we cooked and ate it - no wasting food in those days

Dear Keefy, I'm sure that Mrs or Miss Onelife would help you......

[Onelife]

Indeed Robbie, but can you imagine how frustrating it is for me having to wait for them to come home.

Least thet know when we’ve had a power cut.... I’m always in bad mood

My old boss used to refer to powercuts as 'baby making nights'
