Thanks but no thanks. I think I'll pass.
I hate fat ball containers as well or any container with plastic kids. They are blooming dangerous.

You are heroic. I applaud you sir.👏
I heard once that Dirk ordered a meal and couldn't finish it. Personally I think that was just a wicked rumour.

Epson and it is about 8 or 9 years old and doesn't owe me anything
I have flushed out all the ink ports with cleaning fluid, put in fresh cartrages and still being told no ink
the heads must be blocked, time for a new one me thinks

'Fraid so - seen many go that way
There were a few that would do an auto clean every few days if not used which stopped the problem
but it did mean they used a lot of ink even if not being used - and, of course, when they ran out of ink the same old problem happened
but they were at least better - as long as they were left plugged in and in standby (did I mention how teachers don;t listen??)

My wife would say the same about me
I did fail to finish in a restaurant once
turned out I had a tummy upset
It's taters out there at the moment. I did go for a run earlier in the day. My new Alpkit cap is brilliant and yet again my head and ears were toasty warm.
After I had thawed out and enjoyed some cheese on toast ( Mature Cornish cheddar, strength 7 ) I took the bus to JL to check on the dimensions of an AEG fridge freezer. The AEG web site gives a different dimension for the depth to that published by JL so I needed to be certain. Walked in to JL armed with note book, pencil and heavy duty tape measure.
I'm measuring door depth, and feeding the tape between the AEG and the Bosch it's sitting next to. I have restedd note book and pencil on top of an ajacent larder fridge, the steel tape keeps folding and dropping toward the floor. My antics are seen by a couple of members of staff, one who comes wandering over and asks " can I help you sir? I explain the situation, I show him the dimension diagram from the AEG website, he compares it to the dimension listed on the sales label and says " Oh, I see " He then starts moving the adjacent fridge freezers sideways giving him a bit of room to drag the AEG into the middle of the shop floor. I go round taking all the dimensions, he also holds the tape for me while I take photos of variou aspects. Once I'm satisfied we walk it back to its place against the wall and he moves the other fridge freezers back into position. That is what I call exemplary customer service 😎👍

Salut tout le monde.
Do you remember when I said we fell in love with Lucie, one of our grand daughter's puppy ?
Well, we have made a final decision now and we sadly won't be having her. We didn't let out hearts rule our heads but the other way round.
At our time in life, we felt a puppy would be too much hard work and we wouldn't be able to give her all the exercise she would need.
Also , Molly may resent another dog in the house, especially one so young.
So we hope they will find her a very loving home soon.

Steak for tea, which is good news for me if not the cow.
Back home new after a long day in the workshop, worked on a mixture of stuff and had a really enjoyable day, it’s always the highlight of my week. Today was a bit quieter so the pace was just nice and steady and we had time to all catch up after the holiday break
Now got my feet up with a cold beer and I’ve just lit the fire, Mrs Gunk has got dinner in the oven and we are settling in for a nice quiet evening.

I start doing that sort of thing I find myself the centre of attention of staff that previously wandered past, usually with a phone/tablet in hand, without asking if they could be any help.
They then can't get rid of me quick enough.

A song that is pretty much guaranteed to make me cry
and about the only one
I just find it terribly sad that this immortal creature finds a soul mate who then buggers off and leaves him alone for the rest of time
I don;t know why people find me weird for that
I'm even tearing up now typing this!
