How many flatmates does it take to change a lightbulb?

Living in a rented flat as opposed to college accommodation has its advantages - you get to choose your own furniture, you can stick things on the walls, and being around for longer makes it worthwhile to 'nest' more extensively. Although I obviously didn't choose the furniture personally, the WG still feels more like a proper, lived-in home than the perfectly serviceable and yet somewhat sterile Earl Building that was my university base last year (though it was of course filled with wonderful people!).

However, when your light bulb burns out, there is no Maintenance Book in the lodge to write a note in. P found a spare light bulb in the back of a cupboard and I duly changed it, with a disappointing lack of incident given the number of jokes on the subject. I'm sure you could concoct one about Germanists, give that light bulb in German is "Glühbirne", which would translate literally as "glow-pear". Suggestions welcome - otherwise please just enjoy that image for a moment!

I was left with a no-longer-functional light bulb and decided to do something with it as it seemed too pleasing an object to throw away. We hung the result in C's room to be a welcome home present:
