More impressive if you stick it up your nose and out your eye.

Anyway, I'm off to bed. Whether I'll be up on time in the morning rather depends on whether the power goes off and resets my alarm clock

 

[quimcunx]

What's the point in that? It's hardly going to trend on twitter is it now?

e2a: at minnie and truxta, not nipsla.

Your boss will point to your mobile and ask why you didn't use it.

''Because I was in bed before the powercuts happened''

I don't go on Twatter. Maybe Truxta does though. I'm not sure everyone will know who you are, but you could post a picture of yourself doing it.

All the lights on the skyscrapers in central London seem to be out

Quimmy's very small

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Ha, I see you Quimmy

Is it you posting on Twatter?

 

[TruXta]

Quimmy's very small

Small hands too? I don't remember her hands being that small.

 

[quimcunx]

I don't go on twatter, minnie. Like you....

Well more her little finger, although she could just stick some scissors in

Someone's got your avatar

TBH I'm not sure where this is going anymore.

Power cuts all over Essex, Kent, Herts and London according to Twatter....

Copycats getting in on the act

 

[TruXta]

Apparently Tamil Nadu is reporting some issues too.

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Even North Korea's at it

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

Maybe a very very large bird has bumped into a power line

Why do I have short power cuts?

A short power cut is a break in supply that lasts for a few seconds. They are common in areas supplied by overhead lines and are often caused by animals, wind-borne debris or lightning.

Wind-borne debris eh?

Maybe it's that rubbish from space that's falling

Travel chaos as power cut hits London

• Comments (0)

Tube travellers were stuck underground tonight after a power cut hit London.
London Underground said the power failure was having a "serious" impact on the whole of the network. Rail services from major stations including Victoria, London Bridge and Waterloo were also affected.
A Tube spokesman said: "There has been a National Grid failure which has affected the underground. At the moment we are assessing the impact of that but it is having a serious impact on the whole system at the moment."
He added: "It's also having an effect on some of our buildings. Certainly quite a lot of the network appears to be affected."
He said the failure happened around 6.15pm and there were likely to be a number of people stuck underground.
He added: "There will be travellers underground. I don't know the extent of that yet. It's at the end of rush hour, the peak period, so it's a busy time."
A spokesman for electricity network operator EDF Energy said: "We have lost supplies to large parts of south London in the last few minutes as a result of a National Grid failure supply in the south London area.
"It's difficult to predict how long this is going to take. National Grid has got to get the circuit back."
A spokesman for British Transport Police said the power cut had affected all major railway stations in south London.
"There is no power in a lot of stations and no trains running in the whole of south London," he said.

tabloid newspapers' idea of 'chaos' is vastly different to mine

That seems to be an effect of the powercuts, not a cause.

I dunno. I didn't even bother reading the story

 

[Orang Utan]

there were some delays

 

[Minnie_the_Minx]

I did say connected, not the cause

Do I care what you said?
