Surely you have a BBQ Snoopy  whistle:

I'm back ~ the outage was a short one..... longer can be expected this afternoon. Yes I have  BBQ, haven't used it in at least 4 years and have NO intention of cleaning it out and using it today. Chippy 'cross the road will be adequate thank you.

Yes I have Wireless Internet connection and a laptop but the wireless connection requires electricity (Don't they all) and there is no-one else around here with one that I can piggy back onto whilst sitting in the garden. (Anyway that's illegal)

I could go through the effort of getting out the laptop, finding the cable, connecting it to the "emergency" (ie non wireless) telephone line and going through the performance of resetting my old direct connection but by the time I've done all that, made the electrician tea etc he'll have finished and I'll have to unset everything again. evil:

Tomorrow the Tiler is due and then the kitchen will be almost finished.
