I was going to change a blown lightbulb in my living room, but after
reading the instructions on the fitting it says I must be a qualified
electrician.

Must I call in an electrician? It's quite dark in here now with only
my reading lamp. It makes knitting quite difficult.

If I can do it myself, how do I choose the right bulb? Is it illegal
to fit the old filament ones now? Do I have to get one of them LED
things to stop global warfare?

What about ladders? I was just going to stand on a small chair, but
apparently that isn't safe. I don't really want to buy a stepladder
(do I need to go on a course to use one?) just for one bulb, but it
might be cheaper than an electrician, unless he's good looking of
course, maybe I can answer the door with not much on and get a
discount.

Just buy some roman candles- plenty cheap enough this time of year

light blue touch paper and retire -oh sorry, you already are retired

you'll never drop another stitch, a fart or two maybe, but your knitting
will be intact

The empty cases could double up as a dildo for later

Dildos should never be doubled up.
A flagrant violation of Health and Safety protocols.

I think Mrs Beattie raises a couple of important points, or maybe it's the
cold. She can purchase a new box of filaments from ebay and repair the blown
bulb. I'd personally find it difficult to blow a bulb but it takes all
sorts. Now step ladders, some folks reckon that tall or short, they're all
the same lying down, beats me.
