I am sitting and the lights are Flickering up and Down and was cut off the internet twice.

I am hoping that we will not have one but we just might have a Power cut the way the power is fluctuating at the moment.

Typical a Puff of wind and the Power goes all over the place, wish I had my own Generator like we did out at the Lighthouse.

My son is in Castletown at the moment and he has phoned to say no power, even the street lights are out. He was told there is power cuts in Thurso too? Lights are flickering in Wick (or at least mine are) so will we be powerless soon. Hope this does not affect those celebrating "mad Friday" or perhaps it will save a few hangovers.

I have now got my LapTop charging so if we do get a Power cut we can get back on the internet via that and the Phone to our Back up Dial up Account. It might be slow but it is better than nothing when you need to save a fleet in ogame.

So far (touch wood) we are fine. No flickering - surprisingly and the power is still on. I love power cuts though. People learn to talk and make their own entertainment when the power goes off. :D

The lights were flickering a lot last night and we expected to lose power, but it didn't happen. We've got no power now though. It went off in Auckengill about half an hour ago and we've been told it'll be off for two or three hours :(
