Same here Lurker,
A very fast mag or newspaper dance does the trick.
I wish you'd been her Helen. I would have liked to see that in person

this reminds me of a high rise apartment we stayed at once years ago at surfers the twits had put the alarm right over the cook top so everytime we tried to cook it went of we were scared we were going to get tossed out !!!
Yep. Me and smoke alarms have a long and close relationship. I've been known to cook my breakfast toast out on the balcony of apartments/holiday units because of the fear I have of setting off the alarm.
I'm also not unguilty of setting my car alarm off by accidently pushing the wrong combinations of buttons on the remote in my pocket.
I live a very alarming life 
Now I'm sitting here with a blanket because I have all the doors open and there is a cold wind blowing through the house. I'm too afraid to close them yet just in case there is some residue fumes might set it off again. Bluddy thing 
And, why do these things only ever happen when I'm here by myself? Hhmmmmm?
