Illegal light bulbs

[Brendan]

Well they do contain Mercury but so does the Roman pantheon and parts of that are still standing.

Eh?

Maybe it will start a whole new industry with inventive uses for old incandescent bulbs.....such as

of course if you really want to stir things up, get one that lights up

I worry as to what it means for characters in DC Thomson comics who are suddenly seized by a bright idea.

A 5 second delay while the light warms up, followed by a not very satisfying glow, is not going to be sufficient for that "ping" moment when a whizzbang jape occurs to Dennis or Minnie.

Apart from anything else, it will be difficult to draw without using another frame.

Sadly, BBW is often offsenive and rude. We have however, taken him off the troll list

Gotta love the Daily Mail...

Light Bulb Ban

[HonaloochieB]

And if a traditional British retailer tries to sell them by the pound for ?sd I bet some jumped-up town hall 'official' will take them to court.

This is how Nazi Germany started.

I only pay groats for mine

the Ryness on Fleet St has had alarmist notices all over the shop for ages - so much so that I won't buy anything from them anymore. The tone of the notices reminded me of Trago Mills in Devon - hilariously bizaare antiEU rants as well as the usual ragbag of prejudices

still, at least people complained about them

One of the Ryness notices - "shining a light on an EU coverup" indeed...

I can still say I don't like the new bulbs all that much - it's just that I don't think The Man is really interfering that much with my life here

[Brendan]

The Man wants us to pollute and use oil!

The Man wants to believe in Global Warming and use communist, EU light bulbs!

Which is it?

Personally I think as long as we carry on merrily building a society that is more and more reliant on financial institutions for the provision of basic services (all in the name of freedom and financial independence of course) the Man couldn?t give a toss what our stance on florescent light, the political Union of disparate countries and/or Al Gore films is.
