Q: How many people does it take to change a lightbulb on TZ-UK?
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 idiots.
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.
249 to post meme's and gif's.
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.
16 to post 'Following'.
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.

1 late arrival to comment on the original post 6 months later and start it all over again.

Surely 1 post to ask what light bulb to buy and 1 to ask how to do it first?

Which light bulb for life/on a deserted island?

1 to ask how big is your lamp shade? because that looks like a clown bulb in there.
8 to point out how 100W bulbs are a passing trend
6 who agree 45W is their sweet spot

I don't like the gap in the bracelet, particularly daft when the original had fitted end links.

1 to ask if the bulb comes with stickers and warranty card?

Three to suggest an MX5?

No, would be 44.5W

27 to cream their pants at the thought of bringing back Halogen bulbs now that we’ve voted Brexit and escaped the shackles of interfering Europeans and their energy-efficient LED lights.


13 to blame Jeremy Corbyn/non-white people/Rolex ADs/the Honey Monster because the bulb broke in the first place.

5000 people to ask what is the best lightbulb to view a Rolex with.

My Lightbulb says 'Hi!'

*insert pic here*

Strictly speaking, a lightbulb isn`t a bulb, it's a lamp!

Did you say how many wish you Good Luck on changing your lightbulb?

10 to state that they prefer bayonet to screw in fitting.

Apologies if this has been posted before, but...

How many...........

Aren’t we all forgetting, it’s Eddies lightbulb and he can change it when and how he likes.

If only Rolex made light bulbs, Omega made limited edition light bulbs, Steinhart made homage light bulbs and G-Shock made digital light bulbs life might be easier.

But wait, PP have just released a Nautilus light bulb and the 'I'm considerably richer than you' brigade will want those...

6 to post that you can’t actually get the lightbulb you want due to availability issues,
1 to post that he got his lightbulb but took it straight to a grey bulb dealer who then put it up for £10k more
43 to post condemning the profiteer
43 to post defending the profiteer.

1 to post that “his” bulb dealer had told him that if he bought a lamp, lampshade and extension lead he could “magic up” the bulb he really wanted (in direct opposition of the claimed “waiting list” for said bulb)

2 to post this isn’t true

1 to post a “unified bulbs in stock” thread
2356 people read the thread


1 person to bump the thread with a speedposting “looks great”

1 person posts “light that bad boy in good health!”

1 outlier to make their first post "how I made my own lightbulb" with a homegrown garage project that puts most niche commercially made bulbs to shame

Well there are strip lights and red lights, but you'll have to go to the boy's room section to see those bad boys.

what? no mention of poo and letter boxes ?

How has the Coronavirus lockdown affected your relationship with light bulbs / light switches / their availability etc?

Did I miss 1 to ask what watch to wear when changing a lightbulb?

The toad has arrived to squat on the thread, his fat stupid eyes guarding against any further pleasure ever being taken from it.

Did I miss the line about identifying the light bulb as a slow worm?

19 to claim it is not a light bulb but a slow worm.

1 to say 'nice lightbulb, too small for me unfortunately'.

4 to say 'the big lightbulb fashion is over'

Or steering wheel....................:icon_biggrin:

(guilty as charged!)

Surely someone must insult another poster with “ he’s not the brightest bulb “ and an argument ensues as to how that is finished?

WTF, how did that get in this thread?? Anyway, if you were eagerly awaiting news on whether or not I like the bracelet on a Tudor Ranger, there's your answer.

If you plugged one in, would it become a glow worm?

13 to ask if the lightbulb will work post brexit

Would Henk be up the step ladder on his own?

Class.


Actually, a glow worm isn't a worm at all, it's a beetle. I should know, my father used to kill them for a living.

Yes but Curtis would be footing the ladder...

And then almost immediately after all that, with light bulb awareness suitably raised, the OP coincidentally offers for sale on SC a job lot of guess what?
