Ooh, a chink of darkness in this tropically sunny blog ;)

Stephen Bess said...

GG, I've been reading about those generators ever since I started reading you. Hang in there, sister.

Ruthibelle said...

boy that don't sound good at all... no thank you. Wish you all the best with that there merchandise

Guyana-Gyal said...

You mean you don't want to buy any, Ruthibelle? Think of all the things you can do with them.

Stephen, as far back as 2005 I think, one blogger from India, Anoop, even suggested that I pour sugar down the funnel of the Mighty G next door.

Yes Shrimpy...dark, very dark ;-(

Bakannal, I have an idea! We can go into business, you and I, we can sell flavoured powercuts. Carbon-flavoured. Curry-flavoured. You can handle the ham-flavoured ones, if you don't mind.

Oh poor you. It might not be so bad if the generator owner shared some power with you.

zooms said...

Ah yes, I know this so well, after Ivan ,our neighbour started up their generator at 4 in the afternoon till 6 in the morning, every night, the whole house shake and my brain rattled, for 5 months. She did give us ice though so we couldn't complain. We ask her to move it and it's true, they did. They put it inside a galvanise shed, ha ha ha....
sorry for you, ear plugs and mask spring to mind but I think I would go with the sugar.

Ah know ah lil out of order here, but I just read your "unspectacularness" post and I have to tell yuh...wow!...music to my eyes!

My mother used to make carbon for breakfast - she called it toast.

:-)

LDahl said...

Compress the carbon into briquettes and use them to grill the power-cuts
seasoned with a little sea salt and fresh ground pepper,yum!

Olivia said...

Ohhh dear I thought those power cut days were OVER!

These tropical paradises are not all they're cracked up to be.

What to do? Leave a footprint?
Just kidding:)

UGH My sympathies. My uncle just phoned by mobile/cellphone from South Africa to say he can't get email because someone's stolen the telephone cables in his area.

*beats head against wall*
