No harm done, well not to me yet.

Hmm, if it's one of those new CFL bulbs you need to evacuate the room and, using suitable breathing filters, carefully remove the debris. This will then need to be disposed of in a manner approved by the local authority. (No, I'm not kidding!).

Whether this will requirement extends to SWMBO's head, I am unsure....

Normal old school bulb thankfully but I will tell her she needs to go and boil her head as a precaution

Obviously the only thing being screwed in my house this week was the new bulb into the holder

PMSL at you guys!!!

We've had a 30w low energy bulb go bang before now, that was pretty spectacular, luckilly the fizzing
noise coming from it was the cue to get well away from it just in time   

Is SWMBO talking to you/laying off the death threats yet?
