At least we now have the answer to 'How many Andys in Germany does it take to change not one, but two light bulbs?'


Incidentally, and purely for completeness, how many would it take to change one?

I'll have to get back to you on that.

I thought I was doing really well having bought my wife's Christmas presents weeks ago. Gave myself a real pat on the back.

Half an hour ago, I realised I hadn't wrapped them...

We have a smallish bag for each family member and put everything in that instead of wrapping. As well as increasing our smug green glow it's a heck of a lot simpler than wrestling with tape and paper...

My wife would never agree to that, especially for the kids. I'm all for it.

They can't see what's in the bag until it is opened.

@Andy in Germany Sad, I know. The other unfortunate thing is that I can't put wrapping paper in the recycling as it's not accepted. It has to go into general waste in this area.

I used a pressure washer today.

Same here, Andy's bag Idea sounds excellent.

Oh, the excitement of Christmas Eve - sorting and filing of the last 4 months worth of bills, credit card statements & bank statement printouts.

It never ceases to amaze me how Santa manages to deliver all those presents but doing your tax accounts is way beyond his normal work!

I’ve just got home from work.

I will need to have a shave soon.

Whew... Time to put the feet up after a busy day with a and the Vicar of Dibley on the box.

Yellow stickering done. Wigilia done. Cats full of rump steak and prawns. Happy Reynard.

I successfully changed not one but two light bulbs yesterday.

How many Minbari does it take to change a light bulb?

I use brown paper jazzed up with ribbon for stuff that needs to be wrapped. For pressies that mum and me swap, I have some nice christmas stockings with cats on them.

My efforts at doing a Chris Rea and driving home for Christmas were delayed earlier by a flat battery. Possibly the car protesting that I don't use it very often these days.

The joys of owning a featherweight car and living at the top of a big hill is that it is easy to push it across the car park and into launching position for the hill-start. Try doing that with an Audi Q7.
