Last time we had a power cut here we were told it was for essential work to prevent further power cuts.

Now I know what some of you are going to say - PSU, Generator, no problem. But it's just not that simple, especially if somebody forgets to plug the router into the PSU.

Thankfully our Electricity provider, 18th Century Steam Power, have now stoked up their boiler again. The truth is they probably have to turn off the power in high winds so that they don't get sued when their power lines fall down. Especially as the Pylons are only made of bamboo.

Well at least they make up for it with excellent customer service. An answerphone message tells us that all their customers are very important to them, and that if there is a problem, we can be sure they are already aware of it. How nice.

Moral of the story - Don't set up business in Sawbridgeworth.

Yeah what's worse than never getting a single hit on the UK's best retail website just because of a stupid power cut.

Tony, I think you need to send the lads round, sort out this power business.

It's meant that I couldn't get on to the site for a whole day.

You gotta be kidding...I seen that place too much that now it's boring. Southend is a really rubbish place. If you're looking for fun, shops, girls or anything you won't find it here.

But don't let that put you off opening a Special Reserve here Tony.

Give us an SR shop in Milton Keynes. All we have is two Games. Granted, I never use them seeing as I don't play games and also I order all my DVDs online.

Well, err..Sheepy has a melon shaped head.
