Entertainment of today has been us setting off the fire alarm, and causing a complete evacuation of our office complex, halting work for everyone for about half an hour, calling out the fire brigade and generally causing a fuss, all because Dave was making toast. The best part is that we’d only had the toaster for 20 minutes, and it was the first time it’d been used.

I’ve just replaced the batteries in my graphical calculator (a venerable and much-loved TI-85) for the first time since buying it, nearly ten years ago. It amuses me, therefore, to see that the batteries that are in there and have lasted all these years are labelled “Sainsbury’s Extra Long Life”.
