Rude! What possible purpose!

My wife accused me of being the most pedantic person she knows.

I had to point out that I am, in fact, only the third most pedantic person she knows.


It's an oldie, but I like it...

Anyone suggesting in all seriousness that the world in general does not refer to the things attached to light fittings as bulbs is not merely a pedant!

Perhaps this should be on the jokes thread?

How many pedants does it take to change a light bulb?

...........None, they only change lamps

Watt Tyler?

So there I am, cycling my usual route to town this morning and some ignorant idiotic, twatty little arsenugget has decided that it would be fun so smash light bulbs or some such all along the cycle path.

What possible purpose could this serve? How is it fun to put other people on danger!

I am so cross I could spit.

Rant over.

I've had more problems riding on Cycle paths than riding on the roads............

Are we still debating the lamps/bulbs thing? I switched off ages ago...

Many people buy a lamp....... and then put a bulb into it

Even IKEA do this!

[QUOTE 4290150, member: 43827"]Shouldn't that be "sorry, just being pedantic."

We have got even more dangerous idiots around here putting wire at neck height on trails used by mountain bikers.

No purpose. Just pond life with zero intelligence

The same pond life who smash bus shelters.

How many Germans does it take to change a light bulb?

One. They are very efficient but have no sense of humour.

Bulbs are plated in the ground.
