What a complete berk!

I decided to treat myself to a new anglepoise lamp.

So, I bought one off of Amazon (UK) and it was delivered today.  Whereupon I discovered that not only did I end up buying one with a european plug - why the hell woud a lamp sold on Amazon UK, have a  european plug?? - but I somehow managed to buy the wrong bulb as well!

I mean, seriously!  If I had a brain, I'd be dangerous!!!

We all have those kinds of moments. Fun moments where we just laugh at ourselves because its better than kicking ourselves in the ass. ;)

My life seems to be made up of those moments. Seriously though, this is the exact reason why I should never be allowed near technical stuff.

Well, I'm with you, I'd expect a lamp sold on Amazon UK to have a UK plug! I hope you can get a refund :)

It does seem a bit daft, doesn't it! I have rescued the situation. I bought an EU/UK adaptor and the correct bulb and it's working fine now!
