rubschin:  solution looking for a problem?   Well not if your name is Roxanne of course (free earworm)

We can change the colour of our living room ceiling light panel from slightly blue round to slightly yellow and we always leave it on full white and then the cats press the remote and eff it up
Well, whatever, nevermind
