Default The spark is here
I've got the electric man here today to sort my electrics out. He's gonna turn my electricity off for hours so that's me with no Internet, no telly and no kettle.

This is a dark day.

That's it, he's turned it off. I'm now on my mobile data.

I can’t sit here all day with no electricity, I'm gonna go up town to pass the time away.

Do you think it's safe for me to leave him in my house for a few hours while I go out? Do you think he'll have a root around my belongings?

I'm pretty sure electricians turn the power back ON when they're finished . I've never had a problem .

Unless this one is a cowboy .

I've just caught him outside having a cig. I told him to get out of the cold and have a smoke inside. I'm a smoker myself and not bothered about anyone smoking.

As I'm typing this the electricity has just come back on, I hope it's staying on, I've only got 12% left on my battery.

He's still here.

He needs to start thinking about calling it a day, I'm gasping for a cuppa.

He's gone. He's only gone and left me with no Internet, the arse hole. Everything else is on.

He's back tomorrow and he'll be getting a telling.

How has he left you with no internet?

Surely if everything else is on that should be? Did he tell you he was leaving you without?

Wouldn't be making him a brew tomorrow Teach him a lesson
