Things to do with no electricity... :(
 

Had a letter saying that on Wednesday from 8am to 5pm we will have no electric in my part of town - They are dong upgrading work etc...

So that means no heat, no cooking, no lights no PC no internet, No TV or Radio... Nothing !

I'll probably just go out for most of the day, and read when I am at home, but what suggestions can you give me for OTHER things I could possibly do, which are not obvious & apparent?

Thanks :thumbsup

You could shit the bed!

Tether mobile phone to laptop. Done

On a side note they schedule a huge maintenance window but they don't always use all the time. Its just in case something goes bad.

Drive to a fucking store and buy an inverter so you can turn your car into a generator next time it happens? you have 9 hours, you can drive back and fourth and buy many inverters, should set you up for a life of never having to ask this question again

Nothing, there is literally nothing to do without electricity. You can sit on the couch and admire the wall. So I'm actually wrong, there is something. Looking at the wall.

:(

I do that anyway... :helpme

Funny clip though... :thumbsup

full battery on mobile phone with gprs, android and lots of games

then buy 1-2 newspapers and go true them 2 times

then goto shop, WALK, spend 30 min. there

then make something to eat, then eat, all 45 min

then poo

then listen music or sleep

Stay up all night Tuesday, sleep all day Wednesday.

.

Genuinely dont have a mobile phone that can do that...

No, this has been on the cards for months. They have even had two 'False Starts' where they canceled last minute, cause the felt the COULDN'T do it the allotted time frame.

They have even been sending people in person, to the elderly in the area, to reassure them, and check they have adequate blankets and are prepared. Its a BIG thing... Not just a random letter...

Anyway, I'm not REALLY worried... Just thought GFY may throw up some cool suggestions that I'd never have thought of myself !

smear poo all over the walls in protest

Dont have mobile phone :)
How do I cook with no electricity?

Good idea actually...

I appreciate the fact the you presuppose my walls are not already covered in poo :thumbsup

That makes me happy :)

I think you are correct. There really ISNT much to do, is there? Funny how much we all rely on it :)

Open all the doors and windows, air out the house and clean it. You'll still have running water.

Do you really have no mobile ?

Go and sit on the beach it's going to be sunny on Wednesday.

Take a huge shit then sculpt said turd into a scale replica of your favourite impressive civic building. Or perhaps The Gherkin.

have a bunch of people over, turn off the lights and poop into a styrofoam cup. then mix the cups up and play "guess who's poop!"

I have a basic pay-as-u-go for emergencies, but it is about 10 years old, and doesn't do internet. Its not a modern smart phone :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

You mean recreate a normal Friday night, but during Wednesday day time? Was really looking for something fresh and exciting to embrace :thumbsup

Things to do without electricity:
1) Masturbate until your cock falls off
2) Fuck mate until you are both too sore to move
3) Sleep
4) Play Ghost Hunters
5) Invite friends over for an orgy (stock the cooler with plenty of ice and refreshments beforehand)
6) Go to an out of town friend/relative and bug the shit out of them for a change

Toast smores over a candle. I think you might enjoy the gooey brown chocolate.

Or fondue.

Reminds me of the east coast black out back in 2003. Had to walk to the only open store I knew of with a bat and a .38

It was surprisingly peaceful, but I was high and paranoid. :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

you could play like your a hobo. is it a bad area? you have a fence? if you have a fireplace your good to go

warriors wanna come out and plaaayah :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

:1orglaugh

Its gonna be fucking cold Wednesday as well.

-4c in London according to the BBC.

take your laptop to starbucks and hangout on the internet all day there

but realistically you should have an inverter and mobile internet so this is never a problem

maybe you can start a new biz popsicle maker.

dont move to a 3rd world country or you will post this question 4-5 times a day.

This is where I live - The yellow arrow genuinely points to my house. Entre town will be off grid!!!

Invest in a heater, kero will work because looks like you are going to be cold without a way to burn wood or other.
Candles or oil burners will get you thru the dark.
Grill, gas or coal, you can eat, well I might add.
Its one fucking day, embrace the down time and enjoy the day off...
If you like to dose, now is a great time to play survivor. In your mind it will be you against the power. This game will keep you entertained for at least 8 hours.
Laugh like a madman at the people on your block( because you will be high as shit if you took above advice:)
Wind down and blow out all the flames except for the heater.
Wake up the next day KING OF YOUR WORLD!!!

play with your poo.

Oh, wait... you said not obvious :winkwink:

you said where you live. house? box? back alley? im starting to believe you cant afford shit :Oh crap are you breaking into peoples places and using the net while their gone?? :Oh crap

Buy some meat on tuesday.

Have a BBQ on wednesday.

Fuck I just saw where you live. Be on that pier early wednesday morning and just go fishing all day. Or walk on the beach and take photos. Go scuba diving. Go have some seafood. Stand on the corner and beg for change. Steal someone's boat. I could find all sorts of shit to do there.

Looks like a really nice place to live!

Looking at the photo, there is plenty of sea to look at / go for a walk / run / enjoy the outdoors...

Grass is always greener - I'd give my left nut to be back in America right now!

Thanks, but that pic was taken in the middle of summer - Its mid winter now, so its rainy, cloudy and about 1 / 2 above freezing - They are even forcasting snow for Wednesday - Thats why the teams are going round to the elderly that live alone to prepare them for it...

But its cool. I'll be OK - Will prob drive to the next town over, go shopping and have a nice meal at a country pub... Its just annoting to have your routine messed up - Even if it IS only for 9 hours lol

:thumbsup

Get one of these and do some old school photoshop.

Poo. Fuck. Poo again.

How does "dong upgrade work" look when it's finished?

You should take this as an opportunity to clear your mind and relax. Getting away from the computer for a few hours will only benefit you, use this time to reflect on things...just enjoy a bit of "me time" or family time.

you can get pretty creative with suicide ?

i've had the same letter but for thursday :(

Dress up like a zombie and go down to the Winchester for drinks.

what a ridiculous idea :2 cents:
