Power Outage - Fucking third world cuntry

[Finn]

What a useless country. Widdle bit of bad wedder and the whole Auckland CBD down. On a positive note, this goes to show how fucking useless this council is. Without traffic lights, the commute to work was 10 times faster. Proof that they are all morons and should commit mass suicide. The city just doesn't need them.

If this offends anybody, fuck off, it's my birthday.

UPDATE

Auckland is currently experiencing a significant power outage affecting the Auckland City and Manukau City areas except for parts of Wiri, Otahuhu, and Takanini.

The cause is a fault on the Transpower Network where a earth wire has snapped and fallen across the 110 kv feeder from the Otahuhu substation. All efforts are focused on restoring power as soon as possible.

North Shore and Waitakere cities are unaffected.

However the above post just reinforces that most AKLers are mere muppets. Anyone who can not cope with no power for awhile has issues. Best excuse for a BBQ that Ive ever come accross...
