The blackout

[AceLosesKing]

If you haven't heard, there was a blackout today from around 9.45am to about 12.40pm from Willaston to Elizabeth (although I've heard some people say it went as far as Salisbury, and Gepps Cross). What little I've heard is that it was caused by vandals. Tools.

Anyway, where were you when it happened? Playing online, did you lose all your chips? At work, any catastrophes?

I was at work, and OMG it sucked. Ok, it was fun for the first hour or so (nothing to do ) but then... uggh. Really boring, and as soon as we had power back on, it was bedlam until I left at 4.30.

word is that some idiots completley stripped the trasformer station of copper wire.

how the hell do you do that without killing yourself is beyond me but there has to be an easier way of making money

Surely the general idea would be the same. And if they're stripping wires... I'm sure they're not all that concerned if they break anything.
