By the light of the silvery mobile...

Think of me, gentle reader as I type this. I am currently typing this by the light of a mobile phone as the light bulb in the computer room (okay, the spare room) does not seem to want to stay in the light fitting...

...No, really. I've tried three times and each and every time the light bulb has spent 45 seconds in the fitting before essaying a ricochet across the room. As Oscar Wilde put it "to have one bulb ricochet is unfortunate, two is mere carelessness and three is a subtle hint to fix your light fitting".

(This is one of Wilde's less well known sayings and generally gets left out of Wilde's complete works because of it's obscure nature. Wilde himself put it down to some dodgy asparagus he ate in Cambridgeshire).

As I write this I wonder whether this bulb activity is actually the result of some form of supernatural force trying to stop me writing this blog. In which case I would like to take this opportunity to say something to the supernatural world in general:

"GROW UP AND BEHAVE"

Yes, you might think it very clever to possess young girls, expelling ectoplasm from their nostrils and throwing chairs about the room but this kind of behaviour is simply not acceptable any more. Don't get me started on the atrocious spelling one finds when using a Ouija board these days.....

If you find yourself bound by death to walk a lonely road as one of the undead then why not read a good book, take a brisk walk or take up macrame?
