What to do with old fluorescent tubes

May 25, 2005 26 Replies

What the betting that PC safety campainers will either call for a ban on the film, or a ban on fluorescent tubes?

Thats the problem with common sence ....... its not very common !

No just a compulsory warning notice: "Breaking off the end of this tube, filling it with petrol and igniting it may be dangerous", along with "Not suitable for human consumption", "remove from cardboard sleeve before fitting" etc. JP is probably deciding on the membership of the Fluorescent Tube Use Safety Advice Group at this very moment.

Quite. At this very moment a no-win no-fee lawyer is preparing a brief for substantial damages in respect of the negligent omission of such safety warnings from the tubes.

PS Has Dr. Evil checked in today?

Suggests to me that natural selection may be working...

Time to add some chlorine to the gene pool

I bought an Epson printer cartridge t'other day. It had a warning attached - "Do not drink".

Given that inkjet printer ink reputedly costs more than the best champagne I don't expect you were tempted

Peanut butter. "Warning Contains peanuts"

We are becoming a society of f*****ts.

In true part P tradition, they will seek to reduce casualties from this type of accident by upto 20% by banning DIY fitting of halogen spotlights....

That ought to do it!

Yes, I had a packet of peanuts on a flight once. Marked "Peanuts - Warning May Contain Nuts". Well it bloody well better contain nuts!

Christian.

well, at least they were accurate and didn't write instead "warning: contains nuts"

Wow. Lifestyle advice on a printer cartridge!

now, where did I put my trusty hair-splitting tool.....

Plus, it's a bit too much like preaching, to me. Shouldn't it say `Please enjoy in moderation' OSLT?

and after I deleted the post I was about to send as well ;-)
