This would be some kind of Russian measurement I assume.

Funny you should mention lightbulbs. I have several in the street lamps right outside my bedroom window that shine in and disturb my sleep.
They also make a noise.
The police don`t care and do nothing about it, as do all social services.
SpellCheck says it is light bulbs and not lightbulbs.

Either we all have a fantastic sense of irony on this site, or we`re to thick to realise when someones having a pop. :)

Light bulbs sometimes go pop you know.

Not sure about tulip bulbs though....I suppose it all depends on how hard you squeeze them.

My collection

Surely they have to ask of the best way to dispose of the old bulb.



Yeah yeah...and don`t call me Shirley.. ok

I have a neighbour who has no sense of irony and the police and social services do absolutely nothing.
I wonder if it is irony or sarcasm?
I Spell Check`d that.
Where should the apostrophe go?
