The ultimate source of power
Grandad October 19th, 2011
I am only kicking myself.
The electrical fella arrived at nine this morning. Why the fuck he started at such an ungodly hour is anyone’s guess. I mean, who the hell is up at that hour?
Luckily I managed to boil a kettle before he plunged the Manor into a state of powerlessness.
I sat there all morning, contemplating my navel, sipping an ever colder mug of tea and wondering what the hell I had done to deserve this.
Then I had my little ‘light bulb over the head’ moment.
Or rather, I didn’t as there was no power for the light bulb.
Let’s just say I had one of my great and famous inspirations.
I remembered that the neighbours are away.
I nipped into their boiler house and sure enough, it is fully wired. They had even left me a spare socket, so out came the extension reel and the job is oxo. I am now sitting pretty with full Interweb access and the kettle is merrily boiling away.
I’m not sure when the neighbours are due back so just in case, I’ll do a better job of concealing the cables tonight and also tap neatly into the circuit so they won’t accidentally remove my power. I know they would hate to see me discommoded.
I’m just kicking myself that I didn’t think of this earlier.
I can sack the electrical bloke now. My fuse problem is sorted.
I hope the neighbour’s fuses are OK though.

freakin’ brilliant
The other neighbors who connect to your electrical system are grateful.
You unsociable, unscrupulous, thieving bastard.
Just off to neighbour’s garage, I know he’s got a lecky point out there.
Ha! Where do you think we get the power for the van across the street. We tapped their boiler room line months ago.
Cat – I’m not just a pretty face, you know?
Jim C – I found their cable some time ago. I confess I was appalled. Who would have thought it of a neighbour? Disgusting carry on.
Patrick- It’s better if you conceal the connection. It’s only right that it is visually unobtrusive.
The CIA – Sorry! I disconnected them to make way for mine. I think they have driven off down to the village since.
“I think they have driven off down to the village since.”
Everyone deserves a pint now and again
If you could only just tap into the neighbours bank account/savings too you’d be well set up.
Fucking Govt. are doing it anyway.
If any thieving bastard tries to tap into my windmill he’ll have his extremities cut off!!
I’ll bet The CIA alrady have……..
Without admitting to anything, let’s just say I have always enjoyed but never paid for all channels of cable TV. So easy to do and the beauty of it is it doesn’t cost my neighbor one cent more than he has to pay anyway. It’s simply a fairer distribution of wealth. Oh and I am fucking his wife too. Still, it saves him the job. Pure altruism on my part.
Slab – I’m working on it.
Not Green – I see you are full of eco-friendliness today?
Slab – No chance. The CIA wouldn’t even have the brains to tap into their own supplies.
TT – Are you really and honestly sure you don’t live in the village here? Your description fits a few of the local lads.
Presumably you’re sleeping in their bed, breaking the smallest chair and eating all the porridge too?
Blackwatertown – That’s a bear faced lie!
