why are you changing the buld in the first place?

Surely you just need to replace the broken one

Don't forget the 6 'Tree Huggers' to point out that you should in fact be changing it to an energy efficient LED lamp. You must consider your 'Carbon Footprint'!!!!

I heard it as "none: light fittings are user-serviceable" ;-)



How many forum demagogues does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, but they'll only do it with screw-fit; they hold the bulb still, and the world revolves around them...

We can't afford oil! I have a slice of cake hanging in front of a treadmill. The missus can normally manage half an hour before giving up, so I have to work fast
