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.

      WARNING . Please feed the birds in your garden

      By Alec1 · Posted

      I struggled with the parakeets literally decimating the bird feeders within an hour.  I tried squirrel proof ones to see if they helped, but they jammed their claws in the mechanism to stop it closing.  Then the pigeons managed to do the same.  I spent a long time researching the best ideas and came across something on Pinterest.  Someone had used a metal dog cage and attached it to a wooden platform.  So that's what I did!  Once set up, you just hang the feeders inside.  Large birds like pigeons and parakeets cannot get inside.  I get all the small birds, plus starlings.  Not many thrushes or blackbirds around, so have no idea if they could get in.  The squirrels do!  It's amazing watching them slide through narrow gaps.  I also covered the roof of the cage with a piece of plastic to keep the rain off, plus I am just about to replace the cage plastic base with something more mesh like.  It can get a bit gooey after a while, so with mesh, all the dropped seed from the messy goldfinches, will go on to the ground where the pigeons can clear up.  I even added a birdcam.

      GALA 2026

      By fishboy · Posted

      Yep, of course I do - did you not read the bit from the survey about the noise having a negative impact on foraging bats? And like @Angelina I'm aware it affects other people, and if no one complains then it gives them an argument that's it's all ok.  The tree in question was a cherry that everyone loves, didn't need to be touched, and the council admitted was a mistake and shouldn't have happened.  The council and Gala use the 'local' narrative as a benefit, without any figures to back it up. It is used as an argument for the event to go ahead, when there's no basis of fact. The attendees are clearly not local as they've proved they don't give a **** about the area. The council do tell us where the money is spent - 100% on running the Events dept, and a myriad of unlisted free events. They just don't tell us how much, so that we can make an informed decision on whether the gain is with the pain.  Sorry, what was your point again?

      Leon came this evening and did a small job.  He was able to fit me, which I’m grateful for.  He arrived when he said he would. Very professional & friendly guy, offered great advice and very reasonable prices.  Highly recommend Leon! 👍
