Pet Peeves

[The Heretic]

The tension and dread of this fucking storm. Will this be the one that takes the roof off the shed? The dividing fence will definitely go, that's on the neighbours' side so I'm not bothered, more worried about what damage it does if the wind catches it. I hate this shit.

I'm more worked up about this one than any other before, I've been out for an hour double checking everything that could possible fly through the air, the last one gave me a bit of a scare so hoping to put some lessons learnt to good use this time! Stay safe folks!!!

US bands ragging on whatever President is currently in term. The Jesus Lizard show the other week was a lightbulb moment for me, Yow's "Fuck Trump" between every three or four songs was nauseating. I'm there to forget about the world for a couple of hours. You guys voted him or whatever dodgy President is active - don't want to hear it.

David Yow can do whatever the fuck he wants.

No

I love going out on the verandah in the evening when the birds are going spastic, squawking the house down but it being summer, me being in shorts and bare feet, I get eaten to utter fuck by Nazimozzies. My legs and feet are a bubbly, red, itchy mess. Fuck em!

No power or water since the storm hit, fuck this. The cold doesn't help either.

No

I think they should keep it to the lyrics myself. Can't stand bands being so overtly political unless it's against the whole system in general rather than picking one side of the US two or the other.

Ah well, I'm sure there'll be more at it. I'll just have to try ignore it as best I can.

Same. It's an absolute cunt.

Water back, power is back but low. Bulbs half strength, kettle took a while to boil etc. Hopefully you won't be too much longer lads, it's absolutely horrible.

We're getting the first of Feb by the  powercheck.

[astfgyl]

That's a bad oul doing lads. I wonder if there's anything infrastructure wise that can be done to lessen the chances of strong weather knocking out so much of the grid for so long? Even if only concentrated on the most likely hard hit places, which are usually the western coastal counties

[Carnage]

That would cost money, so won't happen.

Our fucking power has gone again. I've lit both fires, which I'll have to let out now as there's no power for the pump. Another fucking freezing cold night.

[Emphyrio]

It's about time to open a bottle of whiskey at this stage. The sweats will see you right tomorrow too.

Schrodingers economy strikes again!!!

I went over to my sister's place so I could at least have a cup of teaz fill a hot water bottle and have a cup of tea. I'd just come in from the turf shed when she told me that the power was back! 

Came home, jumped in the shower, lit the fires, have a takeaway en route. Fuck it, I'm clean. I feel a new man.

Cue the power going again.
