    Some pretty gullible posters on this thread, methinks… :cool:

    And remember folks, these may be special, noise-producing, bulbs that the OP is using in his "dinning room". Did you factor that aspect in?

    You think he's a WUM because he can't spell dining? :T

    No, Mastermind,

    The second part of my posting was an (admittedly poor) pun. :p

    I suspect it to be a wind-up because nobody in their right mind would be "so, so worried" (sic) that they were going to receive "an electricity bill that is now going to be huge" purely because, inadvertently, they left on, for eight hours overnight, the lights that they normally use for hours anyway – and presumably don't fret about switching them on when they do. Irrespective of how they spell it.

    Read the original posting again and ask yourself "Is this for real?"


    "Will it cost us a fortune?" :rotfl:

    I thought he was a genuinely worried individual.

    I must have missed the subtle humour, but then English isn't my first language.

    I reckon I'd destroy you on Mastermind though, assuming they accept "the first 5 seasons of the X-Files" as a specialist subject.

    Don't underestimate me if they'd accept identifying fools on fora. :cool:

    And I thought watching X-Files was a depressing way to spend one's time...
