    Exciting morn in Wellies!

    Anyone else lose power around 9am this morn? Apparently a cable burst under a footpath outside Real Groovy which is literally just up the road from where I worked and I missed it! Anyone see it?

    Here's the Stuff article: http://www.stuff.co.nz/4409708a11.html

    Outside Real Groovy?

    At that end of town the full eyewitness description has probably been edited.

    The actual transcript probably read 'Wow man - it was like awesome eh? Like these huge flames right - you know like on the cover of Megadeath XIV "Spawn of Satans Child" were like really going for it and there was like a wall of sound which was a bit like the drum solo on (insert seldom heard title here) and I said to my bro - whoa dude - we gotta skate that - and like he did'nt have his board right so....

    Yes I saw it. I went out to get a cup of coffee from Fidel's and just as I handed over my eft-pos card the lights went out.

    I said, "A sign from God!" in an enthusiastic manner and the lovely lass serving me backed away equally as enthusiastically.

    It is FUN watching young people trying to cope without electricity. The duty manager was freaking about the fuse board and I said, "Lets have a look."

    No issues there.

    I said, "I'll go next door and see if they've got power", and as I stepped out I saw a huge cloud of black smoke blow across the intersection.

    I stepped back in and remarked, "I believe that God has another message for me, for I smell brimstone and sense the presence of fire."

    The duty manager made a beeline for the kitchen as I walked off to check it out.

    I got to the corner by the Dry Cleaner and there I saw before me an expulsion of smoke from the very footpath in front of Real Groovy.

    The smoke died away for a moment and there shined a shiny demon.

    And he said.

    "Play the best song in the world, or I'll eat your soul", in a rather nasal twang.

    Then there was a bang and a half metre jet of fire consumed the shiny demon, then the smoke started billowing again.

    At this point the Fidel's staff had gathered behind me and I turned to them and said, "Damn, I knew I shouldn't have flushed that" and walked down to Midnight Espresso to get a Long Machiato from them instead. Much too dangerous near Fidel's.
    If a man is alone in the woods and there isn't a woke Hollywood around to call him racist, is he still white?

    Pfft - you should see what used to happen to telephones and exchange equipment when a 110KV transmission line falls on a phone line... Charred smear on the wall - phone blown across the room - choice...
