elektra, Greek, sophocles

O Electra, daughter of Agamemnon, to thy rustic cot I come!

  for a messenger hath arrived, a highlander from Bowral, one who gets milked by the complexities of modern life, not least by Elektra the thief of my delecta electra milk, announcing that many companies now lurk amongst nubile dark skinned Amazonians  from Lesbos, (even with both still intact).  Who knock on my temple’s Corinthian plywood door to change elektrikity accounts.

Seriously, what the f#%ck is happening with getting door knocks to change over my power accounts?  Doesn’t all electricity flow through the same cables and power poles? So what’s this with Energy Australia, AGL, Red Energy et all, all knocking and trying to sweet talk me into changing my account. They come resplendent with charts and kilowatts savings on this and that, promise free channel TV. I always thought everyone pays the same for electricty usage.

In my earlier days, electricity and phone were all supplied and all paid for by usage. Are we to be forever to be pursued by dodgy merchants? How on earth is it possible to now, at my latter years, to worry about competing elektrasity prices and kilowatts?

Answers bitte!
