How Many Nomads to Change a Light Bulb?
Permalink  

Borrowed from another forum.

How many 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

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 light bulb 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

5 People to post pics of their own light bulbs

15 People to post "I can't see nothing" and their own light bulbs

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

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 search on light bulbs before posting questions about
light bulbs"

1 to bring politics into the discussion by adding that Tony isn't the brightest bulb.

4 more to get into personal attacks over their political views.

1 moderator to lock the light bulb thread.

1 forum lurker to respond to the original post 6 months from now and
start it all over again.

Regards

Terry

The only thing missing on the list was the discussion on the power to use to light the "bulb"

As someone currently going through incredible trauma trying to change 2 light bulbs/globes/callthemwhatyouwill I find this post extremely insensitive. You may make fun of the process of changing light fittings (there now that's a better term) but trust me it can be traumatic. I have LED lights. 2 of them aren't working. The Jayco people assured me that one wasn't working becuase it's fittings needed 'tweaking' and the other needed replacing - and no they don't stock replacements. I've tried 4 places for replacements without success. I have no idea how to get the other one 'tweaked'. Ho hum - I do realise that this is all a conspiracy by the universe to ensure that I don't get bored.

Don't forget OH&S!!! Oh! and the Union.

If the "Light Fitting" smile was in a Local Government Office there would have to be a Committee formed, then a Consultant Tendered for but before all that let's have a coffee. Oh! we can't do that cos we cant see as the light is not working. I give up!

Rod changed our lights to LED even the tail/brake lights. We got them from the manufacturer Nomadic1 so perhaps find a manufacturer other than Jayco and they may be able to help. :):):):) Wonder how long we can keep this post going lol

1 to complain about the dog left off lead while the light bulb was being changed

17 to complain that, (now that the light works again) you can see that some irresponsible dog owner did not pick up deposits

34 dog owners to respond that it wasn't / never would be them / their dog.

This post has enlightened me to the point that night has turned to day and I need to flick the switch, the nomads would not see the light of day and be together in darkness and then you would see the sparks fly and believe me, that would turn night into day. Kev
