Just our luckWe must be on the same circuit. They had no problem at the bottom of the street
Well aren't you the lucky one? the grid outside my house hasn't been changed in years in fact it's so choked with soil the little oak sapling growing from it would be about six foot tall if it wasn't kept in the shade by the neighbours car parked over the top of it!
No power cut here!! Thank god!!! The last power cut we had about 4 weeks ago lastd 25 hours, what a nightmare it was.
I'm such a klutz.
Got up this morning, had my array of coloured tablets, switched on the kettle, and popped the bread in the toaster.
Everything went off.
Still groggy until the drugs kick in, I checked the fuse box, and everything looked ok.
Power cut thought I.
No coffee, no toast, no radio or computer, no landline, no hot water.
Managed to find some matches to light the cooker, and boil a pan of water, and toast my fruit loaf.
Reread the Sunday papers, even the boring sections I normally leave out.
Three hours later decide to get a cold wash, and get dressed.
Pop next door.
Lights on, radio blazing.
Panic now, realising it's just me with no electicity.
Old lady turns up with a plate meat pie, and an apple pie, as she does every alternate Wednesday.
Put pan of water back on to make her a cup of tea.
Have another look at fuse box.
Turn one switch that I don't know the purpose of.
Radio, kettle, lights all come back to life.
Miffed at wasting three hours....but happy I wasn't still sat here in darkness tonight.

At last an admission.I'm such a klutz.
Luckily I have the gift of being able to laugh at myself, before I laugh at the misfortune of others.
You'll find a more in depth description of humour in the dictionary.
You might consider yourself as having the gift to laugh at yourself, before you laugh at the misfortune of others but you also have the gift of selective memory.Luckily I have the gift of being able to laugh at myself, before I laugh at the misfortune of others.

So you weren’t one of those who took the mickey out of Heather McCartney because of her prosthetic leg?

Yes I did, right after I'd made a joke about Parkinson's Disease.
If I really need a good laugh I click on your website.
Somehow I don't think that Rindi and Jambutty are best of friends, might be wrong, but I just get this feeling
We are co-winners of a highly sought after Accy Web award.
Without me he is just another cantankerous old grump.
With my help he has become a comedy stooge.
Bless him.

By the way, I'll soon be auditioning for the next patsy to be carried by my good self to an AW gold award, and untold glory.
I would be very interested to learn just exactly where in that thread you mentioned Parkinson’s Disease.Yes I did, right after I'd made a joke about Parkinson's Disease.

Your only post before post 10 was post 6 and the nearest that you got to mentioning Parkinson’s Disease is the capital letter P in Phil.
You’ve finally been rumbled for the hypocrite that you are and you are trying to wriggle out of it and all you can resort to is a bit of name calling and trying to pour scorn on my web site like some 5 years old kid.
Now go away and get your nappy changed.
