Sorry...Just remembered the last years of communism when hot water was available just between 7-9 and 20-22. Imagine the race to be home in time for a decent shower. :devil:
But even these days you may have surprises. A terrible storm in the area where my cousin has a country house led to a power cut that was remediated in 3 days. No power means also no water. Cold water. So imagine 4 persons celebrating a birthday on candle lights ( that was the romantic part ), missing a football match that we were dieing to watch, collecting rain water to throw on the toilet, watching the fridge defrozing and all our food gone and going to a well to wash our faces and teeth. The best part was when we went on a trip to a posh resort in the neighbourhood fearing we may smell like skunks. :laugh:
Not to mention that about 4 years ago at my house due to a terrible frost the water got frozen in the pipes and I haven't a drop of water ( cold or heat ) for about 20 days. Having baths and washing laundry at relatives or friends and carrying hundreds buckets of water from the neighbours. That was probably the moment when I started to think seriously about the wasting of natural resources.....
Is this the end of this thread?
I hope not because with whats going on in my life at the moment, I may well need it soon.
Have you ever felt scared at how a job is coming to an end?
Yeah....I always threaten my boss that I shall kill him. :laugh: :devil:
Will you decorate a tree for Christmas?

Do you have plans to travel somewhere for the holidays, or staying home?
No plans, but I have just been told/suggested to me from head office that I am using two weeks of my accumulated leave, so I have a 5 week break this year, so my plans now might change.
What can I do for 5 weeks with a horribly small budget?
Watch TV and drink beer. :laugh:
You may also keep me company on the forum while the others will be busy holidaying. :devil:
Are you the jealous type?
I will look forward to keeping you company in here as often as I can :)Quote:

Are you a competitive person?
