Had this when I was staying at my mums a few weeks ago. Started beeping around 3, so went downstairs and spent ages getting the battery out to stop it. Managed to do it and then realised it was the carbon monoxide detector that was beeping. Obviously, this was a sealed unit and couldn’t stop it. Had to wrap it in a towel and put it in the kitchen cupboard.seth plum said:When the battery goes in your impossible to open smoke alarm in the middle of the night and the damned thing chirps loudly every 30 seconds or so.1 -
Those things are remarkably resistant. Our one got sledgehammered, was the only solutionDaveMehmet said:

I am sure if they were anywhere near a tube train they would have a dog or a stick. The people I am talking about are not blind, well only to the fact they look stupid.ForeverAddickted said:

Things like this:
"People have criticised the children's TV show Peppa Pig after it referred to firefighters as 'firemen' in an episode called The Fire Engine.
London Fire Brigade (LFB) posted a message on social media saying: "Come on @peppapig, we've not been firemen for 30 years.
"Using out of date stereotypical gender specific wording prevents young girls from becoming firefighters."
They say that language referencing firefighters as 'men' is sexist, when women can be firefighters too.
Sexism is when somebody or a group of people are discriminated against or treated differently due to being male or female.
LFB is running a campaign called Firefighting Sexism to encourage more women to work as firefighters, as there are currently many more men in the profession.
People have criticised the name of the programme Fireman Sam too, which was first shown on TV in 1987.
They say that using language like this - especially in children's TV shows - encourages stereotypes.
A stereotype is when people have fixed or oversimplified ideas about what something should be like - for example, that firefighters are men.
Some have disagreed with the criticism though, saying that it is just a cartoon and it is not intended to be sexist, so it should not be treated in this way.
It isn't the first time that the issue has been in the news.
In January 2019, a mum took to social media to explain how her four-year-old daughter had said she wished she were a boy so that she could be a firefighter when she was older. This was because she thought only boys could do the job.
"I've seen in books they are all boys," her daughter said."
As for the mum above, instead of taking to social media, how about offering some parental advice to her daughter to help her understand the situation.

If we’re taking Peppa Pig, I’m more worried about the message the tax dodging antics of Miss Rabbit gives out. How many f*****g jobs has she got?Macronate said:Things like this:

Just insert screwdriver into the slot and then gently slide away from you.....seth plum said:When the battery goes in your impossible to open smoke alarm in the middle of the night and the damned thing chirps loudly every 30 seconds or so.
Yeah right.
Where is the narrative about nothing happening until you clump it and it either rips the whole unit (and some plaster) from the ceiling or otherwise where the ‘removable’ section flies out at escape velocity and smashes on the floor?!?0 -
Likewise Homer Simpson and Peter Griffin. It seems to be perfectly acceptable to portray men as fat, lazy, thick, immature, irresponsible, insensitive drunks. I'd be offended as a man were it not for the fact that I couldn't care less.ValleyGary said:They make out Daddy Pig to be a right dopey prick as well, which annoys me.
As for firefighters, I saw a female firefighter climbing out of a fire engine just the other day: a vision of beauty.

People on Twitter who think they have an original or unique opinion and end it with 'A thread' and another 26 tweets. No. Just no. I'm not going to read it you moron. Who do these people think they are? No one cares.1

The reason twitter took off was that it was limited to 140 characters and doing so stopped long rants.The Red Robin said:People on Twitter who think they have an original or unique opinion and end it with 'A thread' and another 26 tweets.
