    I'm wondering if the missing letter is an 'l' or a 'b' - I suspect the latter, but the thought of a glowing thirty-years-old bull is an intriguing one. I'm glad she switches it on rather than turns it on... !

      don't you think the comments went a shade too far?!

      Incidentally, I would hate moard members to think that I was suggesting that they might have dusty houses.!!i'm sure that isn't the case, not at all .

        What has Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development got to do with this topic? On or off, that is!

          This is the best Diwali thread ever - who needs candles floating on lilyponds when you can have GU10s instead?

          Peace and prosperity and the blessings of the elephant god on all you guys, anyway.

            Why, do you think they should be excluded? Harsh !
            They could have useful opinions on these....



            Board members might find them useful !

                I suppose some people might take a dim view of them.

                  Others might have become incandescant.

                        Incandescent, surely? - unless this inflammatory burst of light is representative of a recorded melodic line above the main one (i.e. in can descant)...

                        I'll get me coat (if it's not already gone up in flames)...

                          Thanks for throwing more illumination on that error! Reminds me of Goethe.

                            Doesn't your voice rise when you get angry?

                              HRT ?
                              I always thought that was a Melbourne thing ?

                              THIS surely is the most ridiculous light fitting ever ?

                                Bloody bulbs, 3 gone this week, out of 10.
                                Too much heat and vibration, I suppose.

                                Perhaps its surpising that the FOR3 forum lights don't seem to go out much...........
