Evening all

A pleasant day here so I spend some time outside trimming back the ivy that covers the front of the house.

As for cartridges, I've been using compatibles from IJT for some time now at less than half the prices of the named ones with just as good results and absolutely no damage to the printer. You need only to use the manufacturers expensive ones whilst it's still under it's guarantee period just in case you need to return the printer to the manufacturer.

Morning Scribbles, and the rest of you when you manage to get up!

Morning all

Merle, hope your Dentist enjoys his Easter break In Easter island
Funded By your good self.........
Why Easter Island ?
Those free standing heads Give him inspiration putting him in mind of
a mouth that is crying out for dental work .
****************
The budget today I cant see us getting anything out of it .Vague hints of personal tax allowance changes in a couple of years?

Maybe?? Maybe....Maybe.... not putting the fuel tax up I suppose that's some thing.
but clutching at straws here

Ivan, Did try the compatible cartridges The black was okay the colour wasn't up to spec . As I bought them on line I rang to complain the Firm "Viking" said we will replace them This they did sending me the genuine HP product at no charge .
I wasn't bothered about nullifying the guarantee. just the print quality
Unless you have some Super-Duper printer its not worth attempting repairs .
Given a working life of 4/5 years the latest model will have improved (we hope) beyond recognition . The crunch of course is the Printer costs next to nothing its the consumables that make the printer manufactures rich.
I remember my VERY noisy first dot matrix .....
It might be I'm thinking in hind sight, that they built it so that it sounded as it was doing some thing .............
All smoke and Mirrors

I wonder do those sly me people that are sitting Shoulder to shoulder
in the house of commons today Get a bonus for attending on budget day ?
It doesn't say much for their 'telegence to turn up on such a busy day.Its like going to Sainsbuggers on a weekend .
They can see all proposals that the papers have missed in the past few days on the Goggle Box like the rest of us .
Watching the TV coverage is quite good for us, Spot Your MP your one chance to see him or her it'll be another 4 years till they come knocking on your door .
You have to be quick tho, scanning the ranks of look alikes on the green leather seats It would be handy if you have a photo fit picture of your Member. And as soon as the man with the red box sits down all 600 jump up and go get their delayed lunches . They truly all look the same to me .
The Blokes trying to look Intelligent and worldly wise . Quite some big ask considering most of them have only just started shaving.
It used to be that you could spot the party allegiance by the colour of their tie they Dont seem to stick to that rule any more .Having said that Directly Behind the PM there sits a Chap with a Weskit & watch chain cannot see his face but he is sporting a Yellow tie ???
Vocal contributions that punctuate the chancellors speech yeehh yeeeh yeeeh in a baritone . Great depth of vocabulary from university graduates .
On the Distaff side During PMQ's a sort of shrew like voice kept coming thru the general uproar with" hear hear" and "shame"
As the TV cameras don't roam we couldn't see the source
We did get a shot just now of Hush puppy man Seemingly having a quick 40 winks ??(seen it done it Got the Tee shirt?) Is that the same Grey suit he wore when he was Chancellor ?
Also spotted on the front bench seated next to the aisle in a light grey Suit, Is that Arthur Negus ?
Hey up he's going on about Pensions Its going to be Simple Bla blah Blah
Its NOT going to Apply to Current Pensioners . so calm down its not for us. Back to bread and scrape only jam at week end if there's a R in the month
Good news on small contributions to charities Gift aid wont require Intensive paper work
I know the Girls in the office at work will be pleased Its a real pain
to fulfil the Gift aid requirement paperwork
Excise duty Sounds a bit complicated but at least fuel down 1p a litre from 1800hrs this evening. Bad news I just put 50 quid in the motor this morning.
Okay folks enough already
have a nice day

Evening all

All this sun just makes me guilty that I am not spending more time outside clearing up the winter's debris and a bit of gardening.
The forecast for the next few days remains good which is just as well as Saturday is the annual 'Village' clean up morning which this year is being encouraged throughout the Borough so that all is nice and shiny to encourage Spring.
