Electric

[milliezoe]

Just heard on the radio we are being asked to switch off all electricity at 8.30 pm on saturday for one hour as a gesture towards energy conservation will you be doing this ?

Mine will be off anyway am off to london this weekend for a jolly !!!!!!!

[nellypope]

ABSOLUTELY NOT! is what I originally said! I got so fed up with being asked to join "Earth Hour" that I put a blatantly antagonistic post on FB thanking others for ecological consideration and that I will be purposefully leaving all mine on and running my tumble dryer . . . then I realised I have solar panels and therefore the irony was a little lost. ;-)

Was that ^ a sentence being started with a conjunction?

[joggerjayne]

Mine will be off, too.

I'm going skiing on Sunday morning, and we're staying at the airport hotel on Saturday night, so my flat will be empty.

(unless you are a burglar, in which case my flat is heavily guarded by men with guns and tigers and things)

Have a good trip JJ wish I was going with you the old Knees would not stand up to it these days

[joggerjayne]

Actually, Chuck, I think the "And" question has become a bit of a grey area, particularly since semi-colons have become less used.

Although I did think that "Parliament" needed a capital "P", as did "Government" with a "G".

Also, the "Houses of Parliament" might be lit up, but I doubt if Parliament itself will be lit up.

millie ... what about neoprene knee supports?

I quite often wear them ... not because I have knee problems, but just because they give me a bit of protection when I crash.

[mccfluff]

nope i have no other source of power in the house

[joggerjayne]

Are you doing anything jolly in London, millie ?

[Barmaid]

Not bloody likely. We've got the kids. One of them is terrified of the dark. Kids and candles on a Saturday night just sounds to me like a recipe for disaster.

[daffy654]

No, I won't be switching mine off.
