Well, depends on what you were up to at the time Ernie. Was doing a show at Ossie Town Hall, Pyjama Game I think and bloody lights kept going off ... we felt obliged to entertain audience until power restored.
Had to get out the torches and do our party pieces. (I did have a striptease in this show, but didn't oblige, cause no telling what they would be up to in the dark .. oh gawd !! .. doing a Chav )
Point I was trying to make is ... in these sort of circumstances .. why should we be obliged to entertain the troops so to speak .. did this happen in the war, did people look to bar tenders, shop keepers etc., to take charge. or did they just tell them to go home and every man for himself ??
Glad they didn't ask for refund anyway

Re: Batteries not included.
If you bother reading the thread each of those points makes perfect sense.
Have you been drinking again less.
I asked if anyone remembered the bad snow at the end of that nov. I find it hard to believe nobody does, not even here yet they remember 1970
Your sensible tealeaf, can you remember it?

Re: Batteries not included.

I know, I'm getting a bit worried about how I'm going to portray it in a positive light!

Any of you remember that?

Unlike you I do not need to be sober to make sense, but to tolerate your way of thinking I find it easier if I drink! If you really think your earlier statements fitted together I can understand how you don't need to drink your world needs no lubrication, (oh how silly of me, I hadn't noticed, you're attempting to go for the soft under belly rather than a full on charge! Less admits he drinks so make it seem like he drinks too much! How Original).
Where exactly does taking 2000 photo's in 5 months make perfect sense?
Where exactly does having electricity in your van make perfect sense? All vehicles have electricity or they wouldn't move! any extra electricity for a self admitted *van driver is of scarce use!
Where exactly does "About 12 years ago snow", come into it? Not where Rindy was, not where I was, not last week!
Please give me a break, you don't even read over what you are going to post just once, to see how it looks, never mind how it might sound in someone elses brain.
But you seem to think you have some sort of advantage with your one sober brain cell against all the happy ones I keep in my pint glass?
Why not train it to do something useful? I can see some potential in you, if only you would commit yourself, you don't have to go private you can do it on the national health, I'll even lend you my jacket, straight up!
*Any Normal van driver can ignore that remark
In many earlier threads I have already stated that bullsh*t is my first and often main language, but you take it to it's lowest ebb.
Please remember I am the person on accyweb that is weirdly, wonderfully, full of S*it and it is hard work when having to cope with someone such as yourself that can take it to similar extremes without the aid of artificial stimulants!
From now on one of us will have to start posting in a more normal manner,
AND IT WON'T BE ME!
P.S. in your first post you mentioned December NOT November, don't you just hate these people that always misquote you?

I've took nearly 2000 photographs in 5 months.
Rindy was without electricity. I have main electricity 240v in the van a portable go anywhere electricity generator.
The snow 12 years ALSO bought caused a power cut and is a lot more recent than the ones in 1970. rindy had no power, we had no power 12 years ago, but for a whole week, rindy had no phone, we had no phone 12 years ago, but for two weeks, rindy at least had water, 12 years ago we had no water.
point being that rindy could have had it a lot worse.
And I'm busy, I'm building several web sites and 5 forums.
AND i said have you been drinking, nothing more nothing less less, chill out.

What has that got to do with the price of fish?
It isn't in anything I've read on here,
if your busy, then be busy, concentrate on what might be worth while, if you're sites and forums are a success then good, but I don't want you coming back on here in five minutes saying they failed because I distracted you!
(don't forget the spill chicker and make sure your keyboard wurksprouply).

Your own fault for making me a super moderator, I did warn you!
Just have google open on a multitab and if in doubt chuck the word in there, It will always say 'did you mean ****?'
