Meh, I think I know the reason why SR was down most of today!

-------------

* Severe Gales Blowing away on a terrible sunday morning *

Mr Snuggly was getting ready to go to work..

Snuggly: "Bah the car won't start this morning! Best give Tony a call and tell him I cant make it in today"

* Starts to dial *

"Hellooo?? Tony?"

Tony: "Helloooo Snuggers? We have liffft orrfffff"

Snuggly: What? This lines very bad Did you just call me a Cockface?

The line went dead.

* Meanwhile back at SR Towers *

Darkus: Er, has someone noticed how the clouds look so closer from here?

Shroeder: yes they look so pretty from up here..

They both look at each other

"WTF!!"

Suddnely Tony comes flying through the door ?

"Guys hit the SOS button, we have lift off, we millions of ft in the air!"

Shroeder and Darkus look at each other and think "What the hell?"

Tony: " NO! Ive not gone mad!, since we fitted the new freeola powerful servers, noone told me they were powered by win!! SO have lift off!?

Hybrid: "But look I can see my car next to us?"

Darkus: "That's cause its floating right beside us looook"

Hybrid "Argggghh Someone save my mini"

Shroeder: "Wheres Snuggers then??"

Tony: "Ive tried to call him but he said I was a cockface, damn him!!"

* Back at Snugglys House *

"How dare Tony Call me a cockface!" Snuggly said mumbling to himself still trying to get his Micra up and running...

"WAIT A MINUTE , what the hells that in sky???"

"Is it a Bird?is it a plane,?ARGGGHH?Its SR floating away!!!!"

* Back here in Leicester *

Neo's still trying to log in thinking its something as simple as possible fault with SR?s servers...

* Back up in the air *

Tony: "ive got a cunning plan"

Darkus "about time, we?ll end up in Iraq soon and Mr Hussain will think this is some kind of attack!!"

Tony: if we all jump of hybrids mini (ooer) then we'll be saved!! Whoohoo

Shroeder: im not jumping on Hybrid Mini its far too small!!

Tony: we don't have any other hope

Darkus: OK lets go, death here I come?..

Hybrid: WAIT A MINUTE! That's my mini your talking about, what will mystique say?!?

Tony: never mind about you mini what about my SR!!! Years of Hardwork down the drain... and all you care is about you car!

Just then....

SR started to slowly float down....

Shroeder "We're Saved!"

Tony: Huh? Whats going on..??

Darkus rushed to the window...

"Superman!! Er noo.. its Its Super Snuggly to the Rescue!!" Shouted Darkus with glee

Snuggly: "Just doing my bit for the world guys"

They landed back safely in Sawbo..

Tony thanks Snuggly for his good deed and overcame the shock that he was a super hero.

*Back in Leicester*

Neo Logs in... "Great the little glitch is back to normal"

-----------

Well we now all now what happened at SR today!

On another not there was an overturned Mini in the middle of my road

Hybrid, let me know when you wanna collect it :-)

The End.

I think he meant "he couldn't order anything from SR because they had a powercut"

He probably ment they couldn't accept his order, due to them having a power cut.

Yeah, BT or whoever provide the power throught your foneline. Have you noticed why you never plug your landline phone into a socket?
A question is though, why I still have to plug my modem into a socket as well as the phone line?

Yeah, we had power cuts all morning. Pretty annoying, but I was out most of the day and we're all back to normal now.

It was hell without electricity though. :D
