Ok so that makes it one? Or should I add them all together?
Oh, I see! That was my first impression, but then I wasn't sure!
I think for the benefit of other posters, you should clarify.
Or else take it to the "I haven't got a clue" thread....
(I think I've got e-sanghitis....!!)
Oh god, that's funny!!
I think you do too!
I've sent you a PM.
First, before this thread takes off, has anyone asked the lightbulb whether it wants to be changed?
If not, we're all just wasting our time.
I refuse to waste time. I refuse to waste time. I refuse to waste time. I refuse to waste time. I refuse to waste time. I refuse to waste time. I refuse to waste time. I refuse to waste time.
Therfore, I just consume it.
