In the last, what, month, month and a half (?), there have been 4 separate countries (5 if you include Canada) who have experienced major power black-outs, either in major cities or in the case of Italy, across the whole country.

That's FOUR major power outages, in about FOUR weeks. Hmmm, and the last time that happened was when? I smell something fishy already.

Secondly, the excuses we're being given are lame, Oh, erm, yeah, the whole of Italy was out of power because a tree fell over. I think it's bollocks.

Morals' conspiracy theory of the day is therefore this: All these countries are doing tests to see how their infrastructure copes if there's a terrorist attack on their power stations.

I reckon within the next few weeks there'll be another big power cut somewhere in Europe. Wait and see.....

[Sheep]

So they might be doing one here?

[Morals]

You mean like the one that took out half of London the other week? Yeah, maybe....

[Ickle Angel]

He lives in Newcastle so maybe he was talking about Newcastle being next

[Aaron]

apparently half of west yorkshire had a black out on saturday night.

[kendra k]

perhaps they're preparing us for a world without electricity...

[Ickle Angel]

What a fun world that would be :S

[Sheep]

Yea i was actually talking bout the North East, but i didnt make that clear, sorry.

[Aaron]

It would be a bit boring without electric. No p.c., no t.v., no mobile phone, no freezer/fridge etc..... That makes me sould like a lazy guit, which i am.

[Sheep]

Dunno bout yours but my phone works off a battery.Not electricity.

[kendra k]

there would still be reading, writing, conversing, and my favourite... sleeping.

[Aaron]

how do you charge your fone sheep?

[Sheep]

IT depends when you last charged it, it would work for a while before you had to charge it up again.

apparently half of west yorkshire had a black out on saturday night.

I must live in the other half then as I didn't notice it.

[Aaron]

yes so the mobile would run out eventually. My point in the first place...

[Sheep]

Well it depends how long the powers off aswell.

i was at my grans and the electric went out and she rang up the electic board and it said half of west yorkshires electric had gone out.

[Aaron]

Well it depends how long the powers off aswell.

well kendra said

'perhaps they're preparing us for a world without electricity...'

So i was just saying there would be no tv's. mobiles etc.....

[Moz]

Maybe it's time to invest in solar panels or portable generators or something then.

[Sheep]

oh right then.

[Aaron]

hydro-electricity is the way forward.

[Morals]

The point wasn't about howlong your mobile would run for, it was about the fact that the outages seem to be too much of a coincidence and if goverments are cutting power to see what might happen should we be told?

[Aaron]

dont blame me. I was just explaning my not so serious point to sheep. And yes we have right to know wether theyre doing it to see what might happen.

[Moz]

Though hydro electricity isn't really something you can rig up yourself if the national grid gets knocked out. Though saying that, there are some pretty mean garden water features kicking about these days.

[Sheep]

I think by not telling us they think they will get a natural reaction, see what would really happen, coz if they told us then we wouldnt react the same would we?
