The "Freeola Customer Forum" forum, which includes Retro Game Reviews, has been archived and is now read-only. You cannot post here or create a new thread or review on this forum.
In the vein of different answers to "How did the chicken cross the road?", I thought this was a bit more original, plus being at uni myself I found this particularly funny. I hope you enjoy it too.
-----------------------------------------
So, how many students does it take to change a light bulb at...
Aberystwyth: None - Most of them are still sleeping in the basketball court following housing shortages.
St. Andrews: Three - One to call the butler and two to arrange a tailor in Rome to design and make new suits for the special occasion. If a light bulb in a major building blows then increase to 27 to allow for a brass band playing the last post and five Sun reporters. The following days Sun will contain something along the lines of "Will's Pals in Blown Bulb Horror".
Aston: None - And stay down, they shoot at the lights, that's why the last one went
Bath: Seven - Five to form a radical new initiative called 'TeamBulb
Focus', one to make a public announcement stating "A successful
environment is not about pushing yourself to the absolute limit" and one to change the light bulb before it's actually blown.
Birmingham: Nine - One to steal a new bulb from the back of a shop, two for the wheelmen and six to go shoot out all the light bulbs in some Aston student houses.
Brighton: Two if the bulb is in a female dorm, but sixteen if it is in a
male dorm - 5 to make a big deal out of the incident, 10 to calm those 5
down, and one to run and fetch some girls to change the bulb.
Bristol: The whole farm - Mam and Pa scratch their heads quizzically
wondering why they just had light and now they don't, lil' Joseph to take the truck to the city to find out whas' going on!
Cambridge: Three - one to mix the martinis, one to call the electrician and one to call daddy to pay for the bill.
Coventry: Two - One to take the bulb out and another to glass a random
stranger's face with it.
DeMontfort: Seven - Two to change the bulb and five to write an interpretive modern drama about the experience.
Essex: Five - One to change it, one to hold her handbag whilst she changes it, one to make sure her thong is in clear view of all the surrounding men, and two to leer loudly at passers by, tempting them to "av a look at dis!"
Glasgow: None of your f***ing business!
Imperial: Eight - It's not that one isn't smart enough to do it, it's just that they're all violently twitching from too much stress to achieve coordinated movement alone.
Leeds: Three - One to change it and two to find a way to get high off the old bulb.
Leicester: Four - One to change the bulb and three to complain bitterly
that it wouldn't have been allowed to happen at Oxbridge, so please give us some funding. Please.
Liverpool: Only one, but he gets 10 course credits for doing it.
London School of Economics: Eighty-four - As follows: 2 People - Preliminary discussion of concept change. 1 Person - Devise and write formal bulb architecture. 2 People - Feasibility study and timetable of events. 2 People - Research existing business methods used throughout the illumination industry. 1 Person - Maintain ISO standards throughout the analysis. 4 People - Commonality task force on bulb change. 15 People - Change bulb. 5 People - Perform bulb functional test. 2 People - Perform bulb load test. 3 People - Perform bulb financial value regression test. 1 Person - Perform bulb performance analysis. 1 Person - Perform bulb bottleneck analysis. 1 Person - Follow-up study (bulb merge feasibility). 1 Person - Report to Utilities Commission. 1 Person - Research from accepted user database. (Did they want incandescent when we only supply non-tuneable fluorescent point product?) 5 People - Perform full compatibility/architecture study. 3 People - Ensure form (round/square, clear/frosted) follows function (wattage, 120/140 volts, visible/ultraviolet, flashing, flood/spot). 3 People - Implement temporary alternative bulb socket for already (!?) existing, successful and profitable socket (bulb-in-one). 5 People - Determine how to market/package/distribute temporary alternative bulb socket. 10 People - Determine how to perform bulb change product split 1 Person - > Interface with Utilities Commission quality assurance group. 1 Person - > Interview local distribution centres to obtain statistics on light bulb usage around London. 1 Person - Set up BPR (Bulb Problem Reports) system. 1 Person - Review problems with BPR system. 11 People - Write a full report justifying the expenses outlined above, and explaining how the six month lead time on research delivery was marginally less than expected. 1 Person - Receive all credit for entire activity and also huge grant from local businesses. This person has to be a lecturer or post-grad.
Loughborough: 2 engineers - 1 to change said light bulb, 1 to moan as to why there are no women at loughborough to do it for them, or, 370 sports science students as they can never be separated from one another
Manchester: One - Though it remains unchanged until someone sobers up enough to realise that the bulb's blown, then he nicks his flatmate's.
Newcastle: Eight - One to find a red 'Fireglow' bulb, one to mount it near the window and the other six to wait inside.
Oxford: An entire college house, but only one of them is sober enough to
figure out what to do with it, and he subsequently is cellophane-wrapped
naked to a street lamp.
Oxford Brookes: Five - One to take the bulb out and four to stick their
fingers in the socket.
Paisley: Between three and ten, depending on how far through the term it
is, to club together their remaining funds to purchase a new lightbulb.
Plymouth: Six - One to change it and five to campaign to make light bulb
changing a new degree subject.
Pontypridd: Ten - One to buy the light bulb and nine to petition for the
eventual electrification of Pontypridd.
Reading: Three - One to pull the bulb out and two to complain when the
socket and ceiling come down with it through dry rot.
Southampton: an entire flat, to ring reception, complain and demand a new
one..
UCL: Two - One to change the bulb and the other to say loudly how he did it as well as an Oxbridge student.
UMIST: Five - One to design a nuclear powered light bulb that never needs changing, one to figure out how to power the rest of Greater Manchester using said light bulb, two to install it, and one to write the computer program that controls the wall switch.
UNL: Nobody Knows - The light bulbs stay at North London University longer than the students.
Warwick: Seventy Six - One to change the light bulb, fifty to protest the light bulb's right to not change, and twenty-five to hold a counter protest allowing for permissible change in light bulbs, as long as the light bulbs accept it.
York: Three - One to change the bulb and one to check his maths coursework

Lol. The conventry one was good.
And aberystwyth, but only because I know about the housing shortages...

Heheh. That was actually pretty decent.
Glasgow Caley - Unknown, no-one ever attends to know that the bulb has blown.
