53mins and counting. No tv, no Internet (apart from iPhone), no radio, nothing. And the O/H is out tonight so it's not like we can pass the time that way!

Amazing really, our total reliance on electrickery. I'm now spending my time on my phone and my PSP....

Have a shedload of DIY to do tonight as well, but of course even with candle light and a head torch, no power tools. Cack.

So yeah, bit bored really!

Slightly off topic but if you managed to hurt yourself during said power cut, who would be responsible?

Energy provider or householder, just a thought.

We had a PowerCut this morning... for precisely 12milifkingseconds.

Just long enough to kill everything with a clock and fk the boiler up into a bit of an attack just before I had to leave the house.

Not fking long enough to even turn the bd lights off though.
We had one bout 10.15 last night....tripped out and straight back in....annoyingly everything started beeping as it started to recharge etc.

Street lights all went out for 10 seconds too......I love powercuts!

Is that like a semi, only more painful?
