I am fairly sure this is what it is cos there is no flashing light. And the little instruction booklet says that 3 beeps indicates an end of life warning. I just wish it would die quietly.
Otherwise there must be a lot of carbon monoxide under my son's duvet.
I haven't tried taking it outside, what a good way to annoy the neighbours.

It says there are 3 AA batteries in it but there is no way to get at them. A hammer is very tempting.

Well get out QUICKLY!!!
Why don't you put it in a bowl of water? That'd finish it off...

This thread was addressed to "Clever s*ds", not "Dancing Bunnies". So if you take advice from them, you deserve what you get.
(just noticed what you are reading. Now I'm scared...)
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
All of my puzzles are simple and obvious. For certain values of "simple" and "obvious".

Flippin' cheek!! How do you know I'm not a carbon monoxide alarm expert?
And I am good at some things. It's just you'll NEVER get to know what they are because I keep them well hidden and secret.

LAT the solution is clear....get yourself a vuvuzela, then you won't hear it the rest of the time.

I did tell my husband I was tempted to buy him one when I saw them in Sainsbury's.

He was not amused.

You do realise that the word "vuvuzela" is going to start appearing in puzzles a lot, don't you? It's a fantastic word because it's got odd letters in an odd combination...

Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.

Someone bought Fernando one for his birthday, and of course as a French horn player it appealed to him, to see what he could actually play on it apart from a B flat.

They remind me of a swarm of hornets when they're all going off in a match. And that thought had occurred to me as well, Scurra. Aaaaargh please don't let me turn into mini Scurra...!!

A letter in The Times said that VUVUZELA may be an irritant to football fans but it's great for Scrabble players.

stop press: OH managed to get hold of the manufacturers/distributors of the CO alarm yesterday after about an hour of being passed from one person to another. A new alarm was duly ordered and, much more importantly, he was told the secret of how to disable the old one.
And the new alarm arrived this morning.

Are there two Vs in a scrabble set? I'd have guessed at that being one of the letters like Q, X and Z that are only there once.
