Eleven to defend the posting to the group saying that we all use light bulbs and therefore the posts are relevant to this group.

Thirty six 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.

AND

Windy to say "Buck, Buck, Buck"

 

So the answer is 1 then

Cause none of the others were changing the bulb

 

Ah but.........

....just because all the others weren't changing the bulb doesn't mean to say that it only took one to actually do it.

Aaaaaaaaaaah y'Barsteward!

 

RE: Ah but.........

I blame Nick Colgan, for the the light bulb going in the first place

 

It's Kay's fault, surely.

 

Who counted the lightbulbs in the first place ?

There looked to be at least 4,000 to me.

 

Barsteward?

Oh come on. BARSTEWARD?

Where's this swear filter from? Toys-R-Us?

 

I think the lightbulbs are bringing the game into disrepute

 

Nevermind the quantity ...

... what about the price of the light bulbs?
At the current rate of purchase - our lighting needs won't be self funding until 2011.

Maybe a local non-league club could buy the bulbs for us?

 

Maybe they could buy them (ahem)

Put them in our light fittings and allow us to use them when they're not using them.

 

Your letting me down

By not saying "Buck, Buck, Buck"

Get with the program matey.....

 

but these arent your average nicky wroe lightbulbs these are your top of the range

cris shuker floodlight bulbs that havent been fitted for 10years

 

change your name to oscar, it may happen then

 

too small to fit in the holes?

 

It's Ritchie's fault

He should have realised the lightbulb was about to go and replaced it before it went

 

Possibly.

And although light bulbs are generally 50p ... it seems local clubs can buy them for 2p.

Either myself or Carib Owl will be buying them.

 

Does that work

 

RE: too small to fit in the holes?

Can only be fitted in York hotels?

 

Takes 2 to fit those doesn't it?
