Can we establish why the bulb needs to change? Could it be us that need to change to adapt to the bulbs new condition? So many questions, so little reason.

thats TOL to a tee before it collapsed and everyone came here

And then there are:

3 posts recommending caution when purchasing lightbulbs from ebay.

4 posts suggesting detailed investigations be made to ensure the lightbulb is in fact a lightbulb, not a ringer.

1 post suggesting that purchasers check certification to ensure it has passed all statutory tests.

and.....

73 posts claiming that all Robin Hood bulbs are shite.

then:
1: post telling how to make a light bulb using plumbing supplies and other miscellania, for less than 250 quid.

1: At least one "size queen" who must have a 1000 watts, switching in a microscond, and running on a watch battery.

Then there is the pollster:
If you could have a functional light bulb for less than 250 quid, would you:
1. stick where the sun don't shine.
2.
3.
4.
5.
please complete as appropriate (can't think of anything funny at the mo).

You forgot about thee very important people.

1 person to dig the hole.
1 person to hold the lader while another person (already mentioned in above postings) changes the bulb/light/lamp.
1 person for health and safety to warn everyone else about not getting to close to the hole and to keep clear incase the glass breaks.




Enjoy. SEVEN days to go

What about:-

I wouldn't use that sort of light bulb,
they go wrong after 150,000 hours.

One of the other Forums I visit, Pinnacle Studio 9, also has a light bulb thread, which gave me this link.

http://www.totse.com/en/fringe/gravity_anti_gravity/dark.html

makes perfect sense to me.......

and then Microsoft declares darkness an "undocumented feature."

and 1 person 2 say, "shouldnt this of been in the madhouse section"

And there will be 3 people who change the original post to make some smutty double entendres.........

Cant think of anything smutty about a light bulb right now!
(how do you turn on a light bulb.....?????)

You forgot about the sexuallity of the light bulb and whether they enjoy having light bulbs plugged into various orifices by themselves or by others.
Cheers,

1 particular forum member to claim that a particular brand of car is superior and never needs to have its light bulbs replaced.

Lots of forum members to reply that even if that's true, that car is 5 times as expensive.

what's a light bulb?

or better yet.....

none, locost builders are hard enough to sit in the dark till a woman changes it.
