Don't bother with inkjet printers these days unless you are regularly printing in colour (as in at least every week or two). A cheap monochrome laserjet is only about £40 these days and will last at least a thousand pages before you need to refill it - usually more. A multifunction colour laserjet is not much more than a hundred and will never dry out - so it's always there. Refills are not as expensive as you look - my printer costs £50 for a full cartridge but I've only replaced it once in the last six years. I own a Samsung laserjet (original cost £55 including shipping), and my mother has a Samsung multifunction colour laserjet/scanner which she's very happy with. HP's recent consumer offerings are not as good as their older office models - but if you ever get offered an old HP laserjet 3/4/5, TAKE IT - they're basically indestructible, my stepdad's is still going strong after about 16 years. Epson are perhaps the worst for ripping people off with inkjets (closely followed by most of the other major names), but all inkjets are a ripoff.

I was considering going for a walk along the river this afternoon. Ended up going to a mate's instead and playing Risk. Was good fun.

It's definitely a day for cutting the grass. But I have no grass to cut.

Morning everybody. I really should do something productive with my day, but...

Mornin' you lot. Mouth is feeling less uncomfortable for now; still applying ibuprofen though.

As you might expect, I am no longer toothurty, but my mouth aches where the tooth was. Came out a lot more easily than the bottom one on t'other side did though - that was a ######, still partly in the gum, painful as anything, and had three roots pointing in different directions...

BoD: Well, I'd say the appointment's before 2:30, but it's been doing that for a while...

Morning all. Slightly later than usual; appointment to have my tooth out is 11am so i'm getting a bus just before ten.

She's not single, so dates are out of the question Doesn't mean I can't enjoy chatting to her though.

How did you do that? Morning all. Looks very grey outside. I have decided I don't like half term holidays. It means there's no kids slowing my bus down, which means I can't chat with the cute chick at my bus stop.

Dunno where you mean, Max, but I'm not in Welwyn...

There's more than one pub of that name near here. There's an inn in my town, there's a pub in the (essex) village to the north...

As far as where I live goes, I managed to escape Essex nearly five months ago! Unfortunately I enter it every weekday to go to work.

Mundane is the right word. Grey and fairly chilly (showing 2C right now). Mornin' all. I was somewhat looking forward to having today off work, but there you go. Friday'll work too.

That's not exactly cheap! But it does look good.

Evenin' all. Got a call at lunchtime - "Hello Moo, y'know you've got an appointment to have a tooth out tomorrow morning? Well, we're gonna have to cancel it." Helpful. I'd booked the whole day off work and arranged a bunch of other stuff in the afternoon. My day off is now Friday instead, and the other stuff has been rearranged to suit, but that was quite irritating.

My alarm goes off at 7am, but I usually tell it to shut up twice and get up about 0720. I leave the house at 0750.

Morning all. Is it Monday already? Damn. I really should decide what I want to do with my life, careerwise. Still haven't made my mind up on that one.

Mornin' all. Woken up an hour ago by one of the guys at work calling me to ask how to do something...

Hmm... My 18th birthday was celebrated in Baghdad by someone blowing himself up, according to wikipedia. Not such a good memorial, to be honest.

Happy Oldday, SRS! 18... that was a while ago... Perhaps a shorter while for me than for many others here, but still a while!

This is definitely not a lot Friday post. Looks like yet another beautiful day out here. Weather yesterday was perfect all day; my cousin's wedding couldn't have been on a better day! Good times were had and the bride and groom appeared to be very happy. Unfortunately I gained some short term mild food poisoning. No idea what from. And no, it wasn't the alcohol - barely had any!

When I had to do that whilst living with my dad, I simply used a hose. Generally managed to avoid getting myself wet - can't say the same for my dad when he came out to check on me!

Mornin' all. Looks like a beautiful day out there!

Built my machine from parts, and bought windows 7 separately - so I have the install discs whatever happens. I probably should use a more robust backup method than I do, though... Today wasn't too bad at work. Forgot to take my lunch with me though, doh! No work tomorrow; going to my cousin's wedding which should be good fun. And my aunt is giving me a lift all the way home, so I don't have to worry about staying over anywhere else either!
