...a #286 wedge-base LED instrument bulb, value 79p. Had two Nurofen capsules in my back pocket as me sinuses were playing up, together with the bulb for the clock in my Bay. Slung contents of pocket down the hatch with a good slurp of tea, then realised the bulb was missing. If it reappears, I'll put it on Classifieds in case anyone wants it
The scene at A & E later Nurse. : Yes doctor that's right a loud farty noise followed by a bright sweeping light across the ward and then complete silence and darkness . It seems to happen every 10 minutes Doctor : evacuate the ward and call the AA its obviously another case of farty light syndrom caused by a brown fuse
I've checked with the DoH, and it seems a #286 wedge-base LED instrument bulb counts as one of your 5 a day
I don't want to worry you, but this is serious, get yourself down to A&E immediately, you'll probably need colonic irrigation at the very least. Children (& presumably kittens & nuns) have died after swallowing button batteries and other electrical components.
And just to join in with all the humorous posts, whilst you digest my serious one. So, to paraphrase the well known song by popular beat artist Otis Reading; 'Sh!tting out the clock in my bay'
You're a nautical type, @fritt ... A stern light is white, isn't it? At least I got the right colour. I won't be attempting to retrieve it...
