raz Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 right on spot. And don't forget about the 9 posters urging everybody else to secure the light bulb with a hose clamp, and the 9 others that will claim that will actually make it less secure. Link to comment
Martin Barrett Posted June 5, 2007 Share Posted June 5, 2007 Is this a low energy efficient light bulb other wise it will get cross posted in the GW thread? Link to comment
Frenchbob Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 I was just going to mention that he forgot the 2 people necessary to start arguing about how light bulbs affect GW. There's also the one who smugly gives us the archive link to his post on changing lightbulbs in 2003. Good one, Ryan. Link to comment

zen_kick Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 At least it gives keeps these delinquents off the street. Without lighbulb forums they might be doing drugs, knocking over old ladies or yammering on about Italian motorcycles... Link to comment

Yes, you can be smug. Sort of shows my suggestion was valid, though! The rapid ageing of forum members [some of aged ten years reading the GW thread] means that while most of us can remember 1965, remembering what happened on the forum in 2005 comes as something of a challenge. Eh Ryan? Ryan? RYAN! Where's your ear trumpet? Link to comment
