Christmas lights

We went to see the local world record Christmas lights last night.

Spectacular, but something of a circus.

The street is blocked off to traffic. There's long queues to get in. There's a food concession outside, and even young llamas for petting. All raising money for charity.

But what gets me is the poor guy from Guinness who had to count 502,165 individual lights. What a way to spend the lead up to Christmas, counting that many. What if he was out by 5 or something? Did he have to ensure that every one of those was actually working?

It could have been much enhanced with some of Depreciator's squatting figurines, I'm sure.

This poor guy maybe rich geoffw and doesn't give a flying watt if

Cheers Spades.

If the guy from Guinness was rich he wouldn't be counting Christmas lights for a living.

Fixing the broken light would be a revolting job.

He's a switched on sorta guy

Those lights must be sucking up lots of electricity. Hope the house is solar or wind powered, otherwise it is a very expensive bill

That is my brother.

Does it for charity and works his but off doing it. Heading for 100k in donations to Sids this year.

One of the power companies donates 100% renewable energy. $2500 ish for the month
