Don't want to start ranting about modern life etc - BUT ! , I've had to take down the game I had set up to replace the light bulb which is over my gaming table AGAIN ! (being short and not very long armed to reach the light fitting). This one only lasted about a year ! , the one before that lasted at a guess 15 years !!!!!! . Okay so when it happened before I should have had the room rewired with spotlights but I did expect the bulb to last longer . Another one for the 'to do' list !.
Hmmm, I smell a ruse! Capt Toby probably had the good Corporal sabotage the light bulb so that they could sneak in to the camp while Johnny C. is sleeping!

My dear wife would relate that I take mechanical failures very personally !
ReplyDeleteI spent a goodly portion of my packing up for the conventiom time today in the basement with a snake, the metallic kind, and a plugged waste disposal pipe. I can relate to the personal nature of infrastructure failures!

It appears to me that light bulbs have a distinctly shorter life than in days of yore. I change my painting desk lamp bulbs every couple of months, which costs pretty penny too...like you say, modern life :-(
