Poll: EEEEK a power cut! Pages 1 2 3 NEXT | |
Usually I go for a walk, or if it's raining, read a newspaper or something. Yeah, I'm boring like that. | |
Often times I put off things that require a trip into town (which is a good 15 minutes away by car), so if I have something there I need to get done, I'll go do it. Otherwise I'll just mill about and hope it doesn't last very long. | |
Real Life doesn't exist. That's just myth based on our subconscious desires for a busier and more boring life. If Lord Power abandons us, we the universe will end, it's that simple. Or in other words, I'll probably read a book. | |
The last power cut my village experienced lasted a good 15 hours and it started at night so I couldn't even read!, I just went to bed >.< The next morning, my dad rang up the power station (or something?), some idiot had turned it off by accident and didn't even notice! /True story | |
Go to the backyard, Lie on the grass and look at the clouds o3o | |
I go outside put gas in the generator and then start it again. Or I just go to bed because I shut the thing off. Yeah I live off the power grid. | |
I've had about 4 or five power cuts in the last 8 months so... yeah, I know how to amuse myself. | |
Pretty much go outside as in a trip to the town/ city centre. | |
I envy your innocence/will to go outside. I don't dare leave my lair for anything other than when I'm obliged to do so. | |
I Either Read a Book, Play on a Portable Gaming System or if i know in advance its happening.. i try to book my day out around it :D | |
Theres actually GOOD WEATHER IN IRELAND!? GET THE BIKES AND BRING THE COUCHES OUTSIDE!! | |
Hehe, that was a good one, well played Ninjamedic. :3 | |
The week before the end of our second term, my housemates and friends had moved all of the couches in our house to outside for the days of clear sky. It was awesome, just sitting there with a crate of drink. | |
If I'm alone, I'll read, but if I'm with friends or family, we'll play cards or board games. | |
Ah, see if you said it was dark I'd have had to respond "panic" | |
Initiate protocol Foxtrot Echo November! Since my friends and myself couldn't really do any work without electricity, and didn't really have time to socialise outside of the work we were doing, in the event of power failure we'd meet in the pub and get drunk. Unfortunately it didn't happen that often. | |
D: Whys that? Personal experience of something bad happening outside or something like Agoraphobia? I don't like staying out for long but I do like to leave the house a few times a day. | |
I go outside... Its not hard for me to find something to do without power but the last time we had one my little sister used all the battery in all our mobile devices then read a book | |
Grab one of my RCs and go outside. Nothing like hearing 30,000 RPM to keep my mind off the power outage. | |
Yeah I would most likely just read or go over to one of my best friend's houses. | |
If it's in the night, scream like a little girl and get mad at monopoly by candlelight. It seems to never happen during the day time here... | |
Why would I be inside on a bright sunny day if I wasn't working? | |
Well, as i always have my portables charged up and ready to go i will play with my PSP, DS, iPod touch and watch anime\read manga on my Android Phone. | |
Murder, rape and pillage. | |
If it's nice probably kick back on the porch and read a book. If the roomates are around might play a boardgame. | |
Go running, seiza position and meditate when I return, run again. Rinse and repeat until power returns. If it's sunny though, I might replace running with push/situps. /Dislike sun. | |
Most times I'll read, although I do go outside occasionally. | |
break out the battery powered video games | |
This happened to me yesterday. I just went outside in the beautiful sunshine and read a book for a few hours. I try to go outside atleast a few times a week for a long walk or reading a book in the park by the stream. I like the outdoors, I just don't like the people. | |
Read something on my Kindle. If the battery dies, I guess I would opt for the hanging. It was a close second anyway. | |
Go have a good airsoft skirmish, good way to kill time. | |
A mass text to my friends - "Pub?" | |
First thought when I saw the thread was "How can you type here if you have a power cut?!" | |
I'd go to sleep. If not tired I'd take sleeping pills. And continue until power is restored, I run out of pills, or I die. Captcha = nap time. Yes Captcha it would be nap time. As a side note anyone find it odd how Captcha has become almost sentient the last few weeks? | |

Ok so say your power has gone out during the middle of the day, it's warm and sunny outside. The power on your handhelds/laptops have ran out as well so no taking the easy way out.
What do you do if you haven't got access to your electronic devices?
I would read a book in my room, screw going outside!
