A Brit Abroad

Bookmark and Share
My name is Terry and I'm a 50 something year old dis-enchanted ex-pat Brit living in Cyprus. Why am I dis-enchanted? You'll find reasons enough throughout my tumble log, along with quirky items that amused me and things I think need highlighting, and occasional quotes from some of my favourite novels. Oh, and maybe some original work of my own.

Oh, Fucking Hell

I went to put in a dvd in the home theater thing today to escape the Jackson/Fawcett drama today, and the damned thing won’t turn on.  I think it may have been struck by lightning last night.  The part that pisses me off is that I unplugged it during the storm last night, but we had another storm in the middle of the night, and that must’ve done it.  Bad fucking luck, I swear.

I’ve managed to kill a microwave, TV, stove, and computer (the one I’m one now that has to be rebooted every five minutes, and the only computer I own) in the past few months.  Also, my car was totaled (not my fault, was hit while parked).

I hear you on the bad fucking luck.

It’s a bit late to tell you this but for a few dollars you can buy a surge suppressor power strip and plug all of your electronic stuff into it. I have them all over the house.
