goes my doorbell.
Win: I have an old fashioned solenoid type powered by a 12v AC transformer, meaning I don't need any magic to make the bell and light work.
Fail: It also means it won't work in a power cut. I have a lot of those.
Extra Fail: It looks like the bulb has blown so it's no longer illuminated. Considering the efforts I went to, this annoys me.
So anyway. In addition to pondering people's favourite sound, I'm also taking bets on how long:
1. before it stops working. <!--emo&:whip:--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/4013/140/emo/whip.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='whip.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2. before I find a replacement bulb <!--emo&<_<--><img src='http://i2.ifrm.com/html/emoticons/dry.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='dry.gif' /><!--endemo-->
First prize is a pie.
