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
1 to move it to the Lighting section
2 to argue then move it to the Electricals section
7 to point out spelling/grammar errors in posts about changing light bulbs
5 to flame the spell checkers
3 to correct spelling/grammar flames
6 to argue over whether it's "lightbulb" or "light bulb" ... another 6 to condemn those 6 as stupid
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
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
3 to post about links they found from the URL's that are relevant to this group which makes light bulbs relevant to this group
13 to link all posts to date, quote them in their entirety including all headers and signatures, and add "Me too"
5 to post to the group that they will no longer post because they cannot handle the light bulb controversy
4 to say "didn't we go through this already a short time ago?"
13 to say "do a Google search on light bulbs before posting questions about light bulbs"
1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and start it all over again

Very good BnS and very true.   ..... BUT sadly depressing, and in all this self evident that a definitive and simple answer is never arrived at whatever the topic.

Vested interest and fame for 15 minutes inevitably divert sometimes interesting and diverse topics.

Which some might say is good coming from me!

Tips for Southerners moving or travelling North - I particularly like No 15.

 

> 1. Save all your beef fat. You will be instructed later how to use it.

> 2. If you forget a Northerner's name, refer to him (or her) as "Love"

> 3. Just because you can't drive on snow and ice does not mean we always

have to give you lifts everywhere.

> 4. If you do run your car into a ditch, don't panic. Four men in  the cab

 of a four wheel drive flatbed  with a 12-pack of Carly Special and a tow chain will

 be along shortly. Don't try to help them. Just stay out of their way. This

 is what they live for.

> 5. Don't be surprised to find video rentals and bait in the same store.

> 6. Do not try to buy fresh pasta. Thump in gob tends to offend..

> 7. If it can't be fried in lard, it ain't worth cooking.

> 8. Remember: "Us" is singular. "Thaa" is plural. "Thaas" is plural possessive.

> 9. There is nothing sillier than a Southerner imitating a northern accent,

> unless it is a northerner imitating a Brummie accent.

> 10. Get used to hearing, "Thas not from round ere, is tha?"

> 11. People walk slower.

> 12. Don't be worried that you don't understand anyone. They don't

understand you either.

> 13. The first Northern expression to creep into a transplanted

Southerner's vocabulary is "me ducks", Eighty-five percent end their new northern

influenced

> dialect with this expression. One hundred percent are in denial about it.

> 14. The proper pronunciation you learned in school is no longer proper.

> 15. Be advised:  "E were a southern bugger" is a legal defence up

here.

> 16. If attending a funeral in the north take your baseball hat off when

> everyone else does.

> 17. If you hear a Northern kid exclaim, "Ayup, come and look at this!"

stay

> out of his way. These are likely the last words he will say before the

> explosion.

> 18. Most Northerners do not use turn signals, and they ignore those who

do.

> In fact, if you see a signal blinking on a car with a northern licence

> plate, you may rest assured that it was on when the car was purchased.

> 19. Southerners can be identified by the spit on the inside of their car's

> windscreen that comes from yelling at other drivers.

> 20. The summer wardrobe you always brought out in April can wait til June.

> 21. If there is the prediction of the slightest chance of even the most

> minuscule accumulation of sun, your presence is required at the local

> chemist. It does not matter if you need anything from there, it is just

> something you're supposed to do.

> 22. Satellite dishes are very popular in the North. When you purchase one,

> it is to be positioned directly in front of your caravan. This is logical,

> bearing in mind that the dish cost considerably more than the caravan and

> should, therefore, be displayed.

> 23. Blizzards and Northerners going through a divorce have a lot in

common.

> In either case, you know someone is going to lose a caravan.

> 24. Leeds does NOT have a castle, no matter how often you ask us.

> 25. In Northern churches you will hear the hymn, "Come All Ye Faithful".

You

> will also hear expressions such as, "Bugger me, Lord", "God knows", "Jesus

> wept!" and "God help the poor cow ".

> 26. As you are cursing the person driving 15 mph in a 55 mph zone,

directly

> in the middle of the road, remember, many folks learned to drive on a

model

> of vehicle known as a Reliant Robin, and this is the proper speed and lane

> position for the vehicle.

> 27. You can ask a Northerner for directions, but unless you already know

the

> positions of key piles of rubble, canals, coal mines, railway crossings,

and

> where factories used to stand, you're better off trying to find it

yourself.

This is my offering for any Northern dweller mad enough to visit the arse of Britian.

  1. The law is cars may only drive extremely slowly so don't forget to times your usual estimated journey time by 5.
  2. The exeption to this is at the weekend, when you will need to times it by 10.
  3. It is against the law to overtake a slower car, if you do you will be serenaded by a chorus of car horns.
  4. The reason car manufacturers install horns into cars, is to allow people from the south to inform others when they are not pleased, which is most of the time.
  5. Don't forget to take everything with you that you might need, if you need to buy it in the south it will cost you 3 times the normal cost.
  6. The exception to the last point is beer in a pub, which could cost 5 times more.
  7. People from the south believe there are only 100 people in the whole north, so don't be suprised when you get asked 'I know a bloke called dave from leeds, do you know him?'
  8. Remember, the only think about you that matters is you are from the north, and your collective names will be 'northerner'.
  9. As many vowels as possible must be pronouced as 'ahhhhh'.
  10. With this in mind, when someone calls you a fahhhhhcking norfunahhhhh, they are insulting you.
  11. Everyone in the south believes they are a cockney wide boy, you need to get used to this or it will get on your nerves for the whole trip.
  12. The lanes on a motorway are grades for how fast you think your car is, so if you drive a BMW there is no need to leave the overtaking lane.
  13. If your unfortunate enough to be in the south on the one day of the year it snows, just stop your car in the middle of the road and walk home - remember, a car cannot drive in the southern snow, which is much more snowy than anyother.
  14. Despite hlf of the south being foreigners, most southerners have never met them as they are segregated to their own towns..... so if you meet a foreigner, don't expect them to speak any English.
  15. What ever you have heard, the law in the south is everyone under the age of 30 is a scally, so Kappa tracksuits and gold chains are still fashionable. If you point at them they may kill you.
  16. Be prepared for some of the south's old women to have the fattest legs you have ever seen. This is due to eating 8 cream teas a day for 50years.
  17. If you accidentally end up in London...pr' Lahhhhhhhhndon..... god help you.

Ok .... not that funny, I guess everyone on this forum is obviously from South England. What about this joke:

A woman gets on a bus with her baby. The bus driver says: "That's the ugliest baby that I've ever seen. Ugh!" The woman goes to the rear of the bus and sits down, fuming. She says to a man next to her: "The driver just insulted me!" The man says: "You go right up there and tell him off, go ahead, I'll hold your monkey for you.

Call me Jim Davidson, but Im on a roll:

A tortoise was walking down an alley in New York when a gang of snails mugged him. A police detective came to investigate and asked the tortoise if he could explain what happened. The tortoise looked at the detective with a confused look on his face and replied "I don't know, it all happened so fast."

When NASA first started sending up astronauts, they quickly discovered that ballpoint pens would not work in zero gravity. To combat the problem, NASA scientists spent a decade and $12 billion to develop a pen that writes in zero gravity, upside down, underwater, on almost any surface including glassa nd at temperatures ranging from below freezing to 300 C. The Russians used a pencil.

A couple of American hunters are out in the woods when one of them falls to the ground. He doesn't seem to be breathing, his eyes are rolled back in his head. The other guy whips out his cell phone and calls the emergency services.He gasps to the operator: "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator, in a calm soothing voice says: "Just take it easy. I can help. First, let's make sure he's dead." There is a silence, then a shot is heard. The guy's voice comes back on the line. He says: "OK, now what?"
