19 to post that this forum is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a lightbulb forum
11 to defend the posting to this forum saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this forum
36 to debate which method of changing light bulbs is superior, where to buy the best light bulbs, what brand of light bulbs work best for this technique and what brands are faulty
7 to post URL's where one can see examples of different light bulbs
4 to post that the URL's were posted incorrectly and then post the corrected URL's

Be sure to take great care when changing lightbulbs.

Capt'n Midnight

Was flicking through the infomercials this morning and there was this smoke detector that plugs into the light socket - fine. But then the whole spiel about changing it - yer man had a tea towel in his hand and a safety ladder (two steps and a very high hand rail) flicked over rather than take anouther 10 minutes on how to change a bulb.

Oh, nearly forgot - I counted two infomercial presenters.

Tyrrial

some one should move this to the right forum.... but be for that happens i'd be greatful if people would give out about my ability to spell.

Pugsley

Get a dictionary Tyyrial before you warp other folks spelling as badly as your own. :rolleyes:

Eh, dude, it was deliberate. Unless you realise it was. You can't have a speeling correction on the internet that doesn't have it's own speeling error.

Sleipnir
