Anyone got experience with HP colour laser printers.
The black came up with the usual getting low messages and then very low print may fade message.
It tells me this every 100 pages some 400 pages ago and still it's printing. Is this normal or do I have a magic toner cartridge!
 
The red one is looking like it's empty according to the display so will that do the same I wonder?

Is no one safe?

Had a weekend away with the missus and stayed in a rather nice 4star hotel.
The room had great facilities. Everything from an iron and a fridge and a safe.
And under the leather chair cusion were complimentary porno books!!!!!
Pristeen copies of Razzle and Knave
Feckin wife wanted to take them home, not for that! but in case they thought they were hers
The reson we didn't take em was in case of a car crash and the rescue services would think they were hers - stupid moo

Cheapest is over a £100    and the o2 site has warnings about how high the cheap seats are and not to book them if you are afraid of heights 
 
Always wanted to see them so thought I'd have a look on the o2 site this morning for tickets but the site must be rammed as it's full of server errors so spending 3 or 4 hundred on a couple of tickets isn't a problem for loads of people!!

How were your olympics?
 
While I don't follow any of the sports featured, I found myself drawn in and "dipping in" here and there to watch a little. Our village had a giant screen in the park on the middle Saturday and I spent a couple of hours there with a beer or two in the sunshine.
As far as I can tell it was a strange couple of weeks where everyone was sharing some love 
It was feared that traffic would affect us around Ebbsfleet station but it didn't.
 
I really enjoyed the spectacle of the opening and closing ceremonies but why on earth was George Michael allowed to do his latest single that not very many people would have known!!!!
 
 
 
Now bring on the new footie season... 

For what seems for-ever I've had orange (formally freeserve) as my home page. It seemed to have a good mix of news/sport/weather etc etc.
But now the landing page is just fekkin mobile phones so it's goodbye to them.
 
Any suggestions for an interesting home page?

Can you buy caviar in morrisons or sainsbury's etc?
 
Having a dinner party tonight and when asked I said we're having champagne and caviar, which thinking about would be a giggle to serve it as they arrive!
 
What would you serve it on as a canape?

... when refitting your FZ1 rear wheel and need the torque settings, do not look at the owners manual and assume the rear caliper bolts are 40nm, the same as the front.
Because when you dig out the laptop and look at the service manual, the rear caliper bolt should be 22nm and fully explains why the bolt snapped off. 
 
Also Yamaha want to charge over £7 for a replacement (in black). I figured the siver one I had in the garage will fit just fine!

Was going to change the oil tonight but opened a bottle of red wine instead 

On the WR250 yesterday, the battery went flat. Just clicking on the starter, no headlight, no horn and the clock kept resetting when i hit the kill switch. Thank god for kick starts although half way up one really slippery hill I stalled it and that was fun
 I'm assuming the batteries knackered and will chuck it on the optimate in a minute (got to clean the bloody thing first- yuk!).
Before I rush off and get a new battery I suppose I should check that the charging circuit is actually working. How do I do that, I've got a multimeter by the way.

My leathers have shrunk yet again over the winter so it's time for some new ones.
 
I've been getting emails from HG with all sorts of offers I didn't really look at as I never needed anything but got one yesterday that caught my eye as I knew I possbly need some kit. It started off at 20% off any 1 HG item. Scrolling down revealed up to 30% off trading your old kit in, like for like eg a jacket for a jacket.
 
Now I didn't really expect 30% but chucked my leather jacket and jeans in the car boot and took a drive down there.
 
On arrival, was greeted by a very pleasant young man. I thought I'd get it out in the open straight away and ask about the trade in after informing him what I wanted to purchase. He straight away said no need to trade in, they would probably be able to give a better discount anyway!
 
I was looking at their sport style leathers and he said 30% discount, no trade ins or vouchers required 
 
So I was in luck after all. I like HG gear, it's all I have ever bought and never had a problem with any of it so started to try it on.
 
As you may know they use the euro sizing which gets a bit confusing. The biggest one on the rail, a 58 was too tight. After some dissusions about ordering in a bigger size (60) the assistant discovered that was the biggest size they do. I didn't really beleive that as we've all seen the size of fellow bikers tucking in to a breakfast and they've mostly got leathers that fit!
 
So I moved to the Alpinestars rack wher it's even worse. HG only go to 54 I think it was 
 
Why are they only stocking boy's sizes?????  If you want a good old fashioned XL or bigger they point you to the textile rails. Looking in their catalogue later they do a basic no frills leather a bit bigger.
 
Very dissapointing, not much in stock, no range of sizes for anyone older than 10 and chucking discounts around, not looking good to me.
 
Went round the corner to a largish independant multi franshise dealers.  The Dainese racks had an Easter only special of 20% off, mmmmmm.
 
There was a new out Avro jacket in black and white with flashes of red on it - lovely.
Largest they had was the fabled 58 but larger sizes were available - hoorah!!
 
The 58 fitted perfectly, enough room in case they shrink over the next few winters as well - bonus. Looked at the price lable, gulp but only about £80 dearer than HG would have been and boy I looked cool with the Dainese branding 
 
I was seriously tempted. OK lets try the jeans on, I happened to look at the price first this time. £300 quid, yes £300. Twice what I was expecting. The wife said try them on and of course they fitted and I then looked uber cool 
 
I'm doing the maths and still kept hitting £544. I really couldn't bring myself to pull the readies out of my pocket
 
Wifey says have them, you work for it and we've got it, cant take it with you etc etc.
 
Girl behind counter is shocked and even looked offended when I ask for a better deal    Nothing doing so I walk out thinking the good old interweb will come up trumps, but no. Is there a secret society of Dianese suppliers who will kill a fellow member if he discounts?
 
So I've got two more discounted Easter shopping days left, will I crack, will £540 slowly become reasonable.
 
Will I drive back down there at warp speed and leave the shop looking so cool, girls will fall at my feet?
