The Fifteenth Day Before Christmas - Bah Humbug

Bah Humbug, it's 10th December. Oh goodness, only 14 days to go. I better get out and sort out some gifts - oh no I hate Christmas shopping, too many people, too much shoving and too much music.

What do you get boys and men who simply have everything? How could they get to this age and have everything they really want? Apart from a hanging seat.

Light bulb moment - The Science Centre Curiosity Shop. There must be something there......

A few hours later and my wallet a tad lighter - must be the light bulb.



An incandescent light bulb uses an electric filament to create light. They are not very efficient, only converting about 5% of the electricity into light. Gradually incandescent bulbs are being replaced by other types of bulbs, such as fluorescent bulbs or LEDs.

A light bulb moment is one of those moments of enlightenment, a flash of inspiration. Just like a light switching on in your brain.

BAH HUMBUG

I wonder if the 10 lords leaped over the light bulb, or leaped because they had a sudden "moment".
