OT but mildly amusing: The Lightbulb Controversy

LOL but who is counting the watts that they use, and lightbulbs are relevant to this group as my car has them.

and while we are on the subject whats your experience of the following??

Hehehehehehe.

Mind you, having watched one Ka owner take her Ka's lightbulb out, finger it all over, ask me if I thought it a bright one, then not get the sarcasm when I said, "brighter than the owner, and it's switched off right now," it takes all sorts.

Above mentioned Ka owner soon chopped her Ka in for a *cough cough*, which had parking sensors, but the first time she tried them she backed it into another car - twice - because she didn't understand that they didn't put the brakes on for her.

She chopped it for a MG ZR. Took it back to the dealers inside the first week with all sorts of problems, most owner-caused, specifically, owner-not-reading-the-bloody-handbook caused.

Then she explained that it didn't have a handbook.

Combination of being unlucky and being stupid.

Sorry. I'm being divvy, what was the 2nd car? Not a Golf perchance?

Rover 25. Bought because it was better quality than the Ka and British, heh.

My psyciatrist says you cant change it until it really wants to change.

As long as they're on all the time...

You anti-social rogue, you! :0

become a bus driver you get told to leave our lights on at all times, just incase a forign touresit doesn't notice you are about to run them over in a big f*ck off red double decker bus :)

i'm so glad you didn;'t start that little tale with "my friend once....." we can now regal in tales of not clever people we have had the misbefuddlement to experience in our past :)

Nah, Rover / MG owner was great, really. She had stacks of cash and didn't appreciate the value of second hand Ka bits...

I think our rear lights were hers.

it depends on what you wish to change, the thoughts of the thing that youwish to change and your capability in being of greater will power and forcing your command on the thing which needs changing hence a light bulb is not that difficult to change, unless it's fitted to the front of a Mercedes vito and you do not posses fingers of a suitable girth and dexterity to slip in between all the covers and get the bastard thing out in the first place

Change the car instead. Much safer."

Followed up by:

'can i put a screwe threed bulb ina buyanette fitting'

yes but you have to hammer a nail through the screw bit first, if you dont do this it may fall out as you pass a old person and scare them

No you can't change a bulb only facilitate the bulb changing it's self.
