^thought this one looked super cool, even though it was actually way darker than seems in pic...

We had a small storm in Denmark recently, not a hurricane... but a little worse   The storm has eaten a bit of the coast here and there, and i found this nice picture from the day after, and thought: It's an obvious "EUC jump - down stairs"   stairs.

Well if a 50% chance of a large. gravity-assisted metal pole up your arse is your idea of fun, be my guest, but definitely film the attempt !

Yes the message I took from it was more 'never trust stairs again'

when we're at it anyway, the party left early

One of the small consolations about riding in the dark, that gets here at 3 bloody 30 in the afternoon this time of the year, is the Xmas lights in town.

As you can see, this year I was bowled over by this spellbindingly dazzling array of illumination, surely put in place by the angels themselves !

FFS, Petersfield, even if you are doing a miserable 'austerity xmas' this year, that is STILL shit. No stars.

sometimes it is very healthy to sit down and reflect a little on life's difficulties.

next time, you flip/turn your camera (phone?) 90 degrees horizontally before filming

6 million lights!

So who puts them on and take them off?

And wouldn't that that take a year or two to do?  

So are the lights are just left on, and come Christmas each year, it is a matter of flipping a switch?

[OldFartRides]

Wouldn’t be surprised if they kept them on all year, being a casino…

I have seen prefabricated led strings with up to 5000 leds - let's say 6,000,000 divided by 2500 each strings, that's 2400 units. Assuming that it takes 15 minutes to roll out a single one / set it up, then 600 hours of work will be needed.  50 men (uh oh, and women) at work, they each have to work 12 hours... that's about 2 days.

At buildings yes, in/at things that grow, no.

I can’t speak for how they do it there, but my dad knew the guy that was in charge of all the decorative bulbs on the parliament building in Victoria bc. He worked year round checking and changing all the lights. They were incandescent bulbs at the time and it was a government job, so who actually knows how that was run…….

Did you see how many lights on each tree shrub, plant, etc., and how many those living things.

Yes, but I'm pretty sure the whole thing is disassembled and reassembled, these string lights can't last the summer UV light exposure, the cables get tender, and if just one link loses connection, it's typically 10 - 100 or more in the same series / colors that are switched off.  And it's not something you should start repairing at all. But it is definitely a huge job to set it up :-)
