iainrcz Posted June 2, 2019 Share Posted June 2, 2019 On Friday I went to a funeral. No that's not the grin, it was my wife's Grandmother, who had made it to 98 still living in the house she had lived in since 1947 and had passed away after a very short illness , in the hospital that she was born in( St Mary's in Paddington) so not a desperately sad occaision. Three things made me smile, the hearse and limo were both Saab 9-5 s. Far classier than the ugly glitzy Insignia and Jag outside the crematorium. There was a massive " Remain" bouquet in the remembrance garden, whether it was the deceased wishes or from a relative that wanted the last word- who knows. And a bright red Mk2 Consul, I rember seeing it at a family function 30 years ago , it belongs to an old workmate of Mrs N's long dead Grandad , I didn't get to speak to him, but it looks as if it's 75% wob. When my nan died we had a piper lead the cars to the church (my grandad got one because he was a Normandy veteran or something, and she joked she wanted one too)We held the WHOLE village up for about 30 minutes and blocked a roundabout while the cars unloaded.She'd have fucking loved it.Sent from my VFD 710 using Tapatalk privatewire and dome 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beko1987 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 I bought a black cartridge for my £18.99 Canon 2 months ago... Tesco stopped having the printer on cheap, and the cartridge was low. 2 months later its still printing, cartridge is still in the wrapper! I use it so little I cba to just buy a new one, and it's WiFi which is handy. Anything over 3 or 4 pages gets printed out at work for free! Plus the genuine cartridge was £14 from ebay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like most grinders, you can put the handle on and turn the guard to either side. I'm right handed but I change to either, depending on which setup gives the best positioning given where I am working.

Plus the genuine cartridge was £14 from ebay I have a very sexy HP Envy printer/scanner and found the cartridges cheaper in Tesco or Amazon. The long-life cartridges never lasted though, the cheaper ones lasted ages. It went nuts a while back, wouldn't print anything or photocopy anything, just came out as a load of scrambled lines. I keep it as a scanner, that works OK. Bought an HP Laser printer - always buy HP as they always work with Linux painlessly - except this one, there are no drivers for it. Anything I need printing has to be emailed to it via the HP print service. It did work with Chromium and Google print for a while but that has packed up too now. Dreading replacing the toners for it, can't/daren't think what they might cost and no, I'm not going to look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex66 Posted June 3, 2019 Share Posted June 3, 2019 Epson do printers with re loadable ink tanks, which should be cheaper to run. However its an Epson and the last one I had was shockingly bad for clogging heads that after 4 sets of replacement heads under warranty I gave up and got a refund. It was their top of the line A3 also so I got the Canon equivalent and no issues, being a high printer ink did work out less though per ml . Need to find out if Epson have sorted their heads out they do a nice A2 and A1 set that have stunning photo output set of inks aint cheep though but massive cartridges.

Another reason I always go for HP, if the heads clog it is only a matter of changing cartridges. Mu printers can go for months without doing anything.

Bobthebeard Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Another long weekend break at the static caravan in Scotland. Weather a bit rubbish with lots of rain and wind, the hawthorn blossom blowing everywhere and sticking to everything like a snow drift! The Honda Accord was due a gearbox oil change (180,000 miles, no record of ever being done) so another job done. Bit of a faff locating the drain and level plugs whilst using the jack and axle stands on gravel but all done now. Two litres of Honda MTF-3 now resides and the 'snick snack' rifle bolt Honda gear change restored. The old fluid didn't look too murky TBH when drained but the new stuff has made a noticable* difference. Or maybe it is just my imagination. Anyway, whatever. Good for another 100K. chaseracer, stonedagain and purplebargeken 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barefoot Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 I was just reprimanded on the Download festival forum, I complained that my tickets had arrived, but that my security approved rucksack hadn't. Moderator told me I should be able to collect it at the gate. I asked him what I was supposed to carry my stuff to the gate in, and suggested another rucksack. He told me to 'back off' with my attitude - twat! Eddie Honda, myglaren, paulplom and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
