Don't get distracted by the mystery

whoa, this is bad. very groggy, almost hallucinating, and the cough has already got to the point where I have a sharp pain in my diaphragm when I breathe.

however, I don't think I'm hallucinating that my electric meter went from £15 to less than £10 while I was away. wtf?? I left the fridge and freezer on and although I had the 'puter running (it was doing stuff while I was gone) the monitor was switched off. My heating and hot water are included in the rent and not connected to the electric.

Seriously, those numbers might make sense if I'd left the fucking oven on or something, but I didn't, so I say again, wtf??? are those stories of electricity leaking out of the sockets true after all, or have the Feegles acquired a time machine that runs on mains electricity or something?

I feel too crappy to do anything about it, but the money I put in on Friday was supposed to last two weeks (which it usually DOES) and at this rate it's going to last one. it's a good job I feel too crap to eat anyway; that means I can cut the extra out of the grocery money...

who is it that has that Feeglespotting icon? I want to steal it. Can I?

yay! thank you! I knew it was either you or [livejournal.com profile] montymark, I just forgot which.

the party was so very suburban, it was really nice. everyone was just the people you meet in public every day, except I ended up naked with four of them upstairs, sucking one guy's cock while the other one fucked me. can't recall what the other two were doing, but they were naked and tangled up in the bed with us and one of them was the wife of the bloke fucking me.

they were all just really nice.

It's a nasty cold, although I've mainly got a killer sore throat.

Did you leave a mobile phone charger in or something? They keep taking energy even if the phone isn't on the end to draw it out.

ah! that might have been it.

how the hell does that work? that sounds just as unlikely as the electric leaking out of the sockets, if you ask me.

however, the anecdotal evidence supports it, so I'll go switch it off...

I don't know, but it seems you've just proven it true. :D

Electricity moves via a current, and you can have charged air particles, so I guess that if the power is on and 'open' because of the charger but not consumed by the phone, then you're charging the air in a tiny way.

That sounds utterly false. :D

wouldn't that mean it really DOES leak out of the sockets when you don't use it???

*runs round house switching all the mains switches off*

I think you need to have a plug in it to open the channel. :D Otherwise - what are those plastic flaps for?

Aaaaaaaaarrrgh! I'm so very, very sorry. This sounds exactly like what I had/still have. Next time we'll meet, I'll make it up to you. Buy you dinner or something, ok? :)

*hugs*

There was a bad cough/chest infection going around at BiFest too, so maybe it wasn't you.

So, johi and the rest of you evil Brits gave me this sinus infection? And here I thought the only virus I could get from my computer would be ON my computer. :mad:

Don't blame yourself too much ;) Last time we had sore throats, runny noses and coughs as well. London, although it's beautiful, is a very dirty city and the smog wreaks havoc instantaneously.

But okay .. drinks are on you the next time :D
