Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Haha, pretty much Wobbling! It was more of a stammered "uh, well, I'm not the expert, I'll need to feed back to Lavinia and she'll get back to you with any questions she has.". I don't think they were convinced, but it took the heat off me at least.

The printer won't print my 1-page document because it has run out of yellow. I have asked for it to be printed in black/white and it has plenty of black ink, but no, it won't print at all unless I feed it some yellow.

I hate printers like that McGoo. My old one did that and ended up trying to fly.

Dave Gorman did a lengthy sketch on the printer issue on one of his 'Modern Life is Goodish' programmes. His ended up getting a careful massage from a sledgehammer...

We don't have a thread for What Really Pleases Me so:

[ the invitation to take part in Utmost, at the top of the page this morning, has a straightforward NO to decline it, not NO THANKS. ]

I've got an Epson printer and the only cartridges that I have unused are yellow - three of them!

Sadly, mine is a Brother.

I've ordered some more.

I couldn't find my printer today.

O Brother, where art thou?
