The Lord Of Darkness has returned

It's dark, it's cold, it's raining and I'm grumpy. :irked:. …
Eskom has started 'load shedding' again. :irked:.
For those of you not familiar with the term, 'load shedding' is when they turn the electricity off when you need it the most, and turn it back on again when you need it the least. :awww:.
May God give them good idea and understanding to keep alternative arrangements π

Apparently, this is the alternative arrangements! :awww:.Eskom claims that it's not their fault that they didn't upgrade their equipment sufficiently over the last fifty years! :rolleyes:.

Well, I have emergency lights! (everyone does in this country! :rolleyes:) it's just that I didn't have any gas for my camp-stove. So no hot drinks or hot food for the day! :awww:.
I know that feeling when they cut off the electricity when you need it the most. Once that happened when I was preparing for an exam.
π @ "emo personality" @ Qlue: you could buy a generator… :whistle:

I didn't see it coming at all.After all, you WERE MOTW not too long ago.I figured there'd be legions of women wanting to marry a MyOpera celebrity.
take it easy my friend , i think it is easier that cutting the net off
I know how it is when they turn off the electricity… In my street they turn it off every time when it's thundering, and when I don't have electricity I don't have water too…So it's quite a hell then…
