Ah okay.


I have a jumper with a bit of material across the neck which I suppose looks like a tshirt underneath, but had never seen the mock shirt look.

I've just bought an expensive (to me) Epson printer.


At every f-ing opportunity it tells me to buy genuine Epson ink.


Epson - a) Bloody reduce your ink prices then. Massively.


b) The more you tell me to do this, the less likely I am to do it.


GRRRRRRR

Did a lot of research before I bought this one :))


ETA: Clearly the research did not extend so far as to find out whether every time I printed something out there would be "Buy Epson Ink" highlighted in yellow :))


Not sure it would have been enough to stop me buying the printer, however ..... very pleased with it otherwise and yes, I'm using compatible cartridges ("The printer has detected that you are not using Epson ink, blah blah". F*** off printer!!!)

You misunderstand :))


It's not when I replace cartridges. It's EVERY BLOODY TIME I PRINT ANYTHING :)) :)) :))


See screenshot attached ...... see the bright yellow strip on the right .....


And I would not have thought, before buying the printer, to have googled this kind of thing - it wasn't mentioned in any reviews :(


And NOW, possibly coincidentally and possibly not, following a Windows update, whenever I type anything eg into this forum box, or an email, all the "print" displayed is getting FAINTER AND FAINTER until I can scarcely see it ....


Another googling session looms. Meantime my kitchen currently has no floor and no ceiling and much of my house is full of dust which came up through the floorboards :))


Oh happy days :))


ETA: And yes, StraferJack, it's very sad isn't it ..... and after my Canon printer died, I bought another one off here very cheaply as an intended stopgap "in full working order" (I'm not in the least suggesting that description wasn't in good faith) and IT WOULDN'T PRINT :)) :)) :)) I think because it had been kicking around unused for ages .....


At which point I gritted my teeth, gave up on the Canon (having tried everything), and bought this one ....

Oh, OK!! Thanks!


Only thing is though, it will disable the ink level message as well, which is quite useful .....


But the good news (to me and touch wood) is that after giving it my undivided attention for half an hour and by a process of trial and error, I got my broadband working !!

Yes of course you're right - and I try to make sure I've always got at least one spare cartridge of each colour - but by the time it's obvious when you print, if you don't have a spare cartridge, you're stuffed .....

I think doing that might have been one of the things which messed up my prevfous printer.


I let cartridges run right to the end regardless of "ink out" messages :(

Happening to me as well. I thought it was my PC. Also seems to be happening on some websites, mainly BBC News. All the letters are getting pixeliy.

      Leaves on East Dulwich streets

      By Sue · Posted

      The original post was made by someone else, not the person whose post I was replying to! And the original post only mentioned Whateley Road (which has been clear of leaves whenever I have walked down it) and another unspecified road. My question was directed at CPR Dave, who (as was clear in the post I quoted)  said "The streets round here are a disgrace".

      BYO restaurants

      By Sue · Posted

      We had a delivery from Matoom last week. Sadly, as I had high expectations, especially as it wasn't cheap, I was underwhelmed. To start off with  positives, the corn cake starter was ok, and my partner said his green curry and coconut rice was tasty. I  (unadventurous I know but I wanted to do a direct comparison with Chern Thai) had Pad Thai (with tofu and veg). There was a lot of it, which was good. So much that I had half of it cold for breakfast the next morning. However, it was almost completely noodles, with hardly any veg or tofu. In fact there was so little tofu I don't actually remember eating any.  I do remember thinking that the stirred in egg must be some kind of tofu. I'm wondering now whether they were busy and forgot the tofu altogether! As it didn't come with peanuts (which I knew in advance as they weren't mentioned on the menu) I ordered a peanut sauce (?) separately, though I can no longer see this on the online menu. This didn't really help much taste wise  For comparison, we both had Pad Thai for lunch yesterday (Saturday) at Chern Thai, with gyoza to start. The Pad Thai was fantastic, good sized portions with lots of tofu and several different kinds of  really fresh lightly cooked vegetables.  The gyoza were also excellent, just the right amount of crispiness and with a good amount of dipping sauce. The meal  was also very well priced. I realise it's not very fair to directly compare the price of delivered dishes to dishes from  an eat-in lunch menu, but in terms of overall value it was much better. And the service was lovely. In case our Matoom delivery  was a one off glitch, we will book a table and eat in there, but so far I am disappointed. ETA: Just realised this thread is about BYO. Chern Thai used to be solely BYO, but it now has a full drinks menu with Thai beer on draught and  wine. You can still BYO, but there is a charge. We had jasmine tea, which was very nice.

      Hi Angelina - whilst I’m not close enough to this decision (as a candidate not a councillor), I would hope there will be public consultation if this situation arises again next year. As a local resident, I will push for this, if I do become a councillor. Hello - I will ask for this to be updated as soon as possible, as I appreciate people will be looking for this info!
