But the Duracells were lasting only 6 months.
They're cheap smoke alarms.

That's pretty bad. I've been using leftover Toshibas, and they last at least
a year.

I bought 6 smoke alarms at once, so I went for cheap ones. 99p on ebay I believe.

Oh, *that's* a smart move. Expected though.

I did of course test them. They detect smoke perfectly well.

GMAFB!

Are you refuting that they detect smoke? What do you want, a video of me setting one off?

A man takes a lady out to dinner for the first time. Later they go on to a show.
The evening is a huge success and as he drops her at her door he says:
"I have had a lovely time. You looked so beautiful, you remind me of a beautiful rambling rose. May I call on you tomorrow?"
She agrees and a date is made.
The next night he knocks on her door and when she opens it she slaps him hard across the face.
He is stunned. "What was that for?" he asked.
She said "I looked up rambling rose on the Internet last night and it said:
'Not well suited to bedding but is excellent for rooting up against a garden wall.'"
