[Macktheknife]

and then there's Dover who will give a step-by step account of how to insert a lightbulb up one's rectum....

And you forgot speedie to give instructions on how to remove it again. Or maybe a 'war story' on how he took one guy to hospital who had followed the Dovers instructions.

[cowpoos]

my bloody big toe thats a chuckle!!!!!! good effort newbie!!! I'll let the auzzie flag in the avatar go this time

[Hitcher]

And then the gun porn brigade arrives saying the bulb should be shot out, rather than changed.

Debate then ensues about calibre and type of preferred round.

Somebody says any bullet would be better aimed at a Muslim.

Religious/political debate then ensues as to whether US troops should remain in Iraq and whether George Bush can spell.

Grammar Nazis return to pick over the bones.

Somebody says shooting out the bulb is OK as long as it's done by a citizen, rather than by a member of the Constabulary.

Debate then ensues about gun controls and whether the Constabulary should be routinely armed.

Somebody says that whoever changed the lightbulb it wasn't Scott Watson

Somebody says that if it was a turning indicator bulb that was faulty, best that it be the righthand one on Hitcher's bike so he can't overindicate at roundabouts...

[xwhatsit]

That's an interesting point. My right-hand indicator bulb blew, and it took nearly a week to track the weirdy bulb down. In the meantime, I swapped the bulbs over.

My thinking was it's better to have a RH indicator than a LH indicator. The reason being when turning right onto a side road, and somebody thinks you're going straight ahead. Also, you can hand-signal easily with your left hand (if you think necessary), whereas that's a bit tough with your throttle hand.

And there was this one time at band camp ....

[pete376403]

I think the correct term is "globes" rather than "bulbs"

[chrisso]

The question is'' Does the Light Bulb really want to change?''
