My place had a smart meter installed yesterday, but the electricity still looks the same to me. I still have to manually turn the lights on and off too. I don't think the meter is all that smart.
I had one installed late last year by my energy company on a random basis as a guinea pig trialist. One good thing which has come of it is that my electricity is now digitally read from a satellite source and logged accordingly (no on-site field readings necessary). My electricity box is located in an area which was partly inaccessible by trees and shrubs so the field readers used to reneg on reading my box and then send me an estimated reading in the post. My last few real time readings have been much lower in $ than previously estimated ones. So in conclusion, I like my smart meter thusfar.
A very pretty young speech therapist was getting nowhere with her Stammerers Action Group. She had tried every technique in the book without the slightest success. No-one was improving. Finally, thoroughly exasperated, she said "If any of you can tell me, without stuttering, the name of the town where you were born I will have wild and passionate sex with you until your muscles ache and your eyes water. So, who wants to go first?" The Englishman piped up. "B-b-b-b-b-b-b-irmingham." "That's no use, Trevor," said the speech therapist. "Who's next?" The Scotsman raised his hand and blurted out "P-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-p-aisley". That's no better. There'll be no sex for you, I'm afraid, Hamish. How about you, Paddy? The Irishman took a deep breath and eventually blurted out "London." Brilliant, Paddy! said the speech therapist and immediately set about living up to her promise. After 15 minutes of exceptionally steamy sex, the couple paused for breath and Paddy said "-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-d-erry".
Five surgeons are discussing who were the best patients to operate on. The first surgeon says, 'I like to see Accountants on my operating table because when you open them up, everything inside is numbered.' The second responds, 'Yeah, but you should try Electricians! Everything inside them is colour-coded.' The third surgeon says, 'No, I really think Librarians are the best; everything inside them is in alphabetical order.' The fourth surgeon chimes in, 'You know I like Construction Workers. Those guys always understand when you have a few parts left over at the end, and when the job takes longer than you said it would.' But the fifth surgeon shut them all up when he observed, 'You're all wrong. Politicians are the easiest to operate on. There's no guts, no heart, no balls, no brains, and no spine, and there are only two moving parts - the mouth and the arsehole - and they are interchangeable'.
I met a real fairy today who granted me one wish. "I want to live forever" I said. "Sorry" said the fairy, "I'm not allowed to grant wishes like that, try something else. "Fine", so I thought for a minute or two then asked, "I don't want to die until Julia Gillard is re-elected as Prime Minister". "You're a shifty little bastard, arent you?" said the fairy. M
