How many South Australians does it take to change a light globe?

On the weekend my bedroom light globe blew.

On monday we went for a walk to Strath Village to get new light bulbs. A phone call from my mum on the way back means that I discover she has already indeed bought light bulbs for me and they're under the sink. We now have a diverse abundance of light bulbs.

Anyway I am still sitting here in the darkness and mercy of lamps. I tried to get the dead globe out, but it seems that it is stuck in there like glue. After much trying to get it out, Claire has a go. After all my trying, and now Claires trying, the light is now dangling from the roof, with roughly 20cm of cords coming out of the roof.

So we've asked the boys around the corner to come and have a look. One of which is South Australian.

If you can make up a funny joke in response to the title of this blog, comment it here! You may win a prize!

It takes five South Australian to change a light globe:

One to alert the others that there is a problem half an hour after the bulb has blown.

One to complain about how light globes are so much better in South Australia.

One to remind any Victorians present that South Australia was a free-settled state, just in case they had forgotten.

One Victorian-South Australian mixed-blood to translate the non-sensical South Australian gibberish and rather unnecessary accent into the otherwise nationally-accepted word for light globes when asking a shop assistant for help.

And one to get a Victorian to do the job.
