A man walked into a bar and asked for a drink. The barman said, 'what do you want?'
The man replied, 'a pint of lager, please'.

Why is there no asperin in the jungle?

Because there are no dispensing-chemists nor convenience stores or super markets.

How many men does it take to screw in a lightbulb?

Just one—it's not exactly a difficult job.

An interrupting sheep!
An sheep that can talk?
Yes, I suppose so.
Isn't that more of a notable fact than the interrupting?
Yes, yes it is.
Do you want to start again?
Okay - Knock knock!
Who's there?
A talking sheep.

Although he will have to make a second trip to obtain the correct bayonet type bulb when he realises that it's not a screw-in fixture.

I heard we're standardising on screw fittings in the UK - any truth to that? I like bayonet fittings. :(

Wow, I hadn't heard that. Got a source?
They are creeping in (mainly from places like Ikea) but I doubt bayonet will go away very quickly..

PS I noticed Asda have GE "soft white" screw in bulbs in the same envelope style as those Philips ones you were looking for. 60W though.

That wouldn't make sense, as aren't we phasing out standard bulbs, anyway? All my energy saving bulbs are bayonets.

Well, they are available in both types as well.
Manufacturers would no doubt prefer to just make one type, and BC is in the minority. I think it's mainly the UK, Ireland and ex colonies that use them.

That's probably because a lot of them are fluorescent and some people can be susceptible to the flicker frequency.

Use LED ones instead.

Hmm, modern compact fluorescents have electronic ballasts and the switching is 30 or 40kHz or higher - you certainly won't see that flickering, unlike normal fluorescent tubes which have 50Hz ballasts (or old style CFLs with seperate 50Hz ballasts) .

However the light spectrum from a CFL is quite different from tungsten bulbs and can make identifying certain colours difficult. Some people claim CFLs make them all kinds of ill too, but frankly I'm not very inclined to believe it.

I can believe they get headaches, especially if it makes colours harder to see.

My fishtank flourescents have weird colour spectra, and often give me a headache when I'm diddling about in there with the lid open.

I did my work experience at ASDA and by the end of the week my eyes felt battered off the lighting, i actually didnt want to return to the shop for about a month after. It may have been that I was more competent worker than most there but without the pay mind. Well the supervisor said we'd probably get 20 quid on our last day, guess who was ill on the last bloody day. Then 99 trojans pillaged the shop and killed everyone.

I cannot answer a purely hypothetical question like that, as there is only one Runcle.

What about a quantum Runcle? Then you would have one Runcle in two different places.
