Why would I want to switch off my lights. I like my lights, so much so that some of them are on 24/7 ;)

Sounds like the national living opposite me, around twenty very bright wall lights plus four glaring spots on every night for 12 hours....it's like sleeping in Santa's grotto.

When they're out, why don't you sneak round and replace all the bulbs with energy saving lights instead!

LOL, funny!

I have thought of buying an air rifle and sitting up at night having fun.

But in truth I've got used to it, so I actually forgot what it's like to sleep in the dark, it might scare me.....

Energy saving light bulbs don't require as much power and they last soooo much longer than normal bulbs.

dumbest post so far this year by anyone, including my ripping into gtmash by mistake.... :D

they will allow you to use the wireless frequencies that the police and
army use....hahaha....

they only thing I would say is I'd like to see someone steal electricity over a home network, wired or wireless....
