My backlights use AA s

Partial success I've found a single new AAA and remote now works though for how long with one good battery and one nearly dead one is another question

I am disproportionately irritated that today's Spelling Bee refused a high scoring urticaria but accepted umami.

I don't know what she was complaining about, but given it was in Starbucks it must surely have been a FWP

It was 5 years ago in a Tim Hortons. In Canada, so probably FWP.

It appears the openworld box exploded the other day.
This means I cannot turn my heating on until I get home
It last reported 13.5 degrees

My preferred takeaway is not online on just eat today and the one at the railway station is cash only, the cash machine in that village charges...

I am on a train with some locals that are geographically And pronunciationally challenged, if you're from either Markinch or windy gates you know they're not next door ffs there's all of balgonie in the way and there's no need to stress the eye in Burntisland that much.

While I don’t like that advert one little bit, it would never occur to me to complain about it to the press or the advertising standards people.

Waitrose have shrunk the packet size of their plain chocolate digestives which is distressing enough, but, worse, they have also changed the recipe and the biscuit is noticeably sweeter and crisper and not to my taste at all.  What's a chap to do, eh?

She's probably descended from one the twerps that complained about the "scary" Lee Cooper ad. at the fag end of the 1970s.

Just sheared the bolt for the RH armrest on my Herman Miller Aeron office chair, which pretty much renders the chair useless. ::-)

I do think that the cartoon line up in the Guardian is poorer for the exclusion of Martin Rowson.

I understand why he’s been excluded, but I do think that it’s a heavy penalty to impose on a satirist who’s job it it is to exaggerate the physical attributes of people in cruel depictions of their actions.
