ELECTRIC CURRENT

I think I have a curse. Either that or I have an excessive electric current surging through my body that has adverse effects on the things I touch. Want evidence? Here you go then.....:

1) I was in the power (dribble) shower almost two weeks ago, happily washing away and humming along to The Darkness, when I decided an increase in temperature was in order. So I turned the dial ever so slightly to the right, as the shower is rather sensitive, and the whole damned thing just shut off. It just cut out, there and then, leaving me coated in shower gel and bubbles and with no other choice than to cleanse myself via the use of the basin.

2) My mobile phone - rather temperamental to say the least. When I want to make a call, it decides that this is not possible and sends me to the 'change language' option. Since I do not understand Swahili or Russian, or any other random language, this is no good to me. On the odd occasion where I do have some success, my network coverage suddenly becomes irritatingly unavailable. Plus my 'speed dial' numbers have gone walkabout.

3) My computer - went to switch it on and it went BANG! New Power Supply Unit required. I will take this opportunity to thank Novatech for their swift, efficient, professional, courteous and extremely impressive handling of my predicament. I recommend them and will definitely use them again myself, although preferably not for warranty work....

4) The icing on the cake really. My housemate walked out of the bathroom and pulled the cord to switch off the light. My bladder was protesting, so I wandered that way and turned the light back on. CLINK! Lightbulb goes, all lights in kitchen go out, all lights in my room go out and I am left staggering around in the darkness, bumping into things, cursing.
