I think he also used to own a sizable stake in Body Armor sports drink.
 
The ink cartridges I ordered for my printer have arrived damaged. :angry:

I've bought from this supplier several times before - there aren't many that still make cartridges for a 20 year old printer - and I've been happy. Quality's usually really good for a 3rd party product. But they always arrived in a box, this time they were just in a plastic wrapper, and ink has leaked everywhere. I shall be putting in a complaint.

Needed them to print a birthday card for Wednesday. :sad:

On the flip side, supper is prepped - just need to throw it all together. Having enchiladas tonight :hungry:
 
20 years as a shooting guard with the Los Angeles Lakers. I think his whole career spent with one team. Quite a few scoring records, also did some singing, and was in Tv and movies after he retired. I think Kobe Bryant also got a short subject Oscar for Dear Basketball.

And two olympic gold medals - don't forget those.

Yes, he did spend his whole career with the Lakers - pretty unusual in a lot of sports for someone to stay with one team.
 
The printer cartridges weren't quite the write-off I was thinking they might be... Once I opened the individual pouches, it was clear that the caps which cover the nozzle had been loosened in transit. So a wipe down with some and in the printer they went. And they're working fine - managed to print the card no problems. (Apart from the fact that this printer doesn't have a greetings card function, but that's another story...)

I will still be sending a complaint / writing a less than favourable review, as I shouldn't have to be mopping up spilled ink and handling new cartridges wearing latex gloves. I shall tell them that they do need to reconsider their packaging somewhat.

Just make sure that you hire one with a quick start or easy start, as a petrol-powered saw without that is an absolute devil to get going.

My late male parental unit, many moons ago, bought a Bosch saw without one because it was light, it looked pretty and it was rather cheap as these things go. I hated the bloomin' thing with a vengeance. Starting it was such a lottery (not what you need when there's a lot of work to be done) and after an incident where I lost my temper and gave it the full Basil Fawlty treatment, it got traded in the very next day for the Stihl. Was worth every penny to splurge, as the Stihl is a pleasure to use.

Got really grumpy & the branch I was hitting sorta came off.
