That'll be me.

What if the light bulb doesn't want to be changed

 

[Beefy]

How many people would be harking back to the great light-bulb changing of '81?

 

[rabbloke]

Is a 'lightbulb' a baby 'Heavy Plant'?. I am still waiting to see the latter Crossing. Once the former is changed, what does it become?. If a lightbulb were placed upon the sideboard and never used for its original purpose, would it be a lightbulb or an ornament?. Would it grow up to be an ornamental shrub?. If it should really be called a lamp should the film have been called Lightlamp and not Lamplight? Is a Lampoon a spear for scuba diving umpalumpahs and is a Lampard sex with the light on? This thread has left me totally in the dark!

1 poster to post a topic titled "shocking bulb" that leads to a shocking bulb picture type pun scenario.

1 poster to complain that light bulbs are rubbish and we were a much better side when we had candles instead.

1 poster to start a poll and endless topics on whether light bulbs are better then candles, causing two distinct camps within the forum, even though Light Bulbs never comes off his line....

 

[HUTTON]

1 poster to see how many posters are going to see the lightbulb
