If it gets all political, someone will probably close this thread , so here goes...

A: Won't happen unless you write 'regime' on it.

Q: How many Trotskyists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: A lightbulb can't be changed. It has to be smashed.

Q: How many Maoists does it take to change a lightbulb?
A: We need to mobilise the broad masses of candles and created liberated zones of red light surrounding the lightbulb.

...and I couldn't resist this one...

We need more information I'm afraid.

How may volts?
How many watts?
Halogen or standard?
Energy saving?
Bayonet or screw base?
Which make?
Area of application (e.g. indoor or outdoor)?

My old man is an electrician, I'll get some input from him. I am sure someone here on the forum can help you

What rucksack should I use to carry the bubbles (bulbs) in?

Isn't forum lurker one word, i.e. forumlurker?

You know? that confuses English speakers when they try to read and pronounce the modern Germanic languages.......where they join loads of words together to make one long tongue tangling one, instead of a short phrase for something.
So instead of 'light bulb changer' it would be a word like 'thetechniciantoreplacenonworkinglightingelements', and we stand there looking like five year olds learning to read.

I have a question.

Why should it be that the lightbulb is the one to change?

Couldn't we just be more tolerant and accept that it's different to the others and live and let live?

I'm going to mind that one and next time someone does a how-many-does-it-take type thread, I'm going to quote you

No, no, no, it's status has changed. In it's current state is just good for daytime usage, however for when it gets dark we need to accept it has a slight deficiency in that regard and we ought to embrace that difference, which is a good thing in this multi-cultural world.

 

[Bushwhacker]
