All fine here at the Telkom office.

Last time I ran the gammett with the power out in CT CBD, it took an extra half hour to get into the city. Here goes nothing for tonight!!!!!!! I feel like this might be a common thing in the coming months.

I hope they sort it before the winter.

the 8cm screw left floating around in the stator immediately made me think Homer Simpson.

Purposeful sabotage or purposeful incompetence - surely one and the same thing?

I dread to go through - any upcoming months of power outages: suppose in a world where you don't have any power these things aren't important. But how is any company supposed to operate commercially - in this kind of environment

We gonna get blown up down here

LOL. Right - if they can drop a bolt imagine a worst case scenario!
