Popular Post John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted March 2, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 2, 2021 Q: How many group members does it take to change a light bulb ? 1 to change the light bulb and to post that the light bulb has been changed. 14 to share similar experiences of changing light bulbs and how the light bulb could have been changed differently. 7 to caution about the dangers of changing light bulbs. 17 purists who use candles and are offended by light bulb discussions. 6 to argue over whether it's 'lightbulb' or 'light bulb'. Another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid. 22 to tell THOSE 6 to stop being jerks. 2 industry professionals to inform the group that the proper term is 'lamp'. 15 know-it-alls who claim they were in the industry, and that 'light bulb' is perfectly correct. 49 to post memes and gifs (several are of Michael Jackson eating popcorn with the words added, “I’m just here for the comments.”) 19 to post that this page is not about light bulbs and to please take this discussion to a light bulb page. 11 to defend the posting to this page saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant here. 24 to discuss the merits of LED/swirly fluorescent light bulbs 44 to claim LED and fluorescent bulbs will kill you. 12 to post F. 8 to ask what F means. 7 to post 'Following' but there's 3 dots at the top right that means you don't have to. 3 to say "can't share" 2 to reply "can't share from a closed group" 36 People to post pics of their own light bulbs. 15 People to post "I can't see S$%^!" and use their own light bulbs. 6 to report the post or PM an admin because someone said "f÷×$" 4 to say "Didn't we go through this already a short time ago?". 13 to say "Do a search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs". 1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that (insert politician of choice) isn't the brightest bulb. This usually takes place within the first three comments. 50 more to get into personal attacks over their political views. 5 admins to ban the light bulb posters who took it all too seriously. 1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again. 3 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Man On The Clapham Omnibus Posted March 2, 2021 Share Posted March 2, 2021 My first car was a 1947 Series M Morris Ten. It had single dip headlights with a permanent high beam on the nearside and a mechanically operated tilting reflector on the offside. On 'dip' only the offside light was ON with a tilted reflector to aim the beam downwards. On main beam that reflector flipped up to a forward facing setting and the nearside light came on. All fine except that the bulbs were 35 watts in tarnished reflectors and the reflector required a hefty thump on the headlamp to make it work. I left it on main beam but such was sheer power of the lights that no oncoming cars drivers survived to complain! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm offended that you think Gary is poxy, because I never take the time to read stuff properly, it gets in the way of me being ANGRY! 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
