NLC has called off the strike, but we’re still in a blackout. Small thing, we’ll hear that the national grid has collapsed for real while they were trying to wake it up.

SHORT READS It’s Been Two Years, but I’m Still Angry at My Neighbour =.TdX3DW9aMeg3ZfIXBdL1GcgF3fRK7OfHeEaRhjY9qk0 “This no-light situation reminds me of a similar one two years ago. The transformer on my street blew, and we didn’t have light for weeks. I had a generator sha, so I bought fuel and turned it on at night to charge my devices. My neighbour always came to charge too. One day, my generator refused to come on, so I gave my neighbour some fuel so he could turn his generator on. I plugged my phone in his flat and left it overnight, hoping to wake up to a full battery. Only for me to wake up and go pick up my phone the next morning and this guy said my charger kept shaking. My phone only charged 12%. I was so angry. Why didn’t he come and wake me to come and “position” the charger well? I didn’t talk too much because we’re guys, but the thing pain me ehn. I still remember it sometimes when I see him and get angry all over again. On top my own fuel oo.” — John Your story could be the next one featured here.
