Nope, but very concise and to the point :D

You could have asked:
Canadian lightbulbs: Are they as good as or just different from UK lightbulbs ... are there any pitfalls I should know about when bringing my lamps over? Will I be happier if I bring a supply of UK lightbulbs over and have my new home rewired to accomodate them?

More concise questions please ... everybody give Tim massive Karma :cool:

I don't seem to be able to give karma these days. Is it because no one has given it to me to distribute it to others?

That feels great. Thank you - and to the other two who gave me some. I still can't reciprocate, though.

You could have asked how many Canadians does it take to screw in a lightbulb. That would have opened a whole can of worms.

Depends if they are Canadians or just PRs! Without canadian experience of inserting lightbulbs it doesnt matter how many PRs there are, the only thing getting screwed is the PRs! Of course if its a llghtbulb in Toronto you just hold it still, and the world revolving around you will do the hard work:D

Q: How many Canadians does it take to change a lightbulb ?
A: Twelve. Four to form a Parliamentary study committee to decide how to solve the problem, one Francophone to complain that I didn't translate this joke into French, one Native Canadian to protest that the interests of Native Canadians have been overlooked, one woman from the National Action Committee On the Status Of Women to say that women have been underrepresented in the process, one to go over the border to the Niagara Falls Factory Outlet Mall and buy a new bulb and not pay duty on it on the way back, one to actually screw it in, one to collect taxes on the whole procedure so the government can afford it, one to buy a case of Molson for everybody to drink, and one to drop the puck. :D
