It's bloody marvelous too! cloud9:
Not quite big enough to sit on to photocopy me arse like though. ::)

50 quid from a mate of mine, brand new still in the box, and before you jump to the totally incorrect conclusion, ( I'm a mind reader too you know)  NO, it isn't a 'knock off' noooo:

Oh. confused: Right. confused:

I didn't have much choice tbh., but it certainly does much more than my old Epson C64, and about a zillion mph quicker too. I'm happy.

Ignorance can be so blissful sometimes you know. cloud9:

Wonder if I can get the C64 mended like. It would be such a shame to bin it, just because I dropped a screw in it and then shook it like. sad32:

You must be thinking of another sort of screw.

The kind he dropped are quite cheap you know.

Very true ~ so do I. Get a deal on Ink with a free printer thrown in from anyone of several dozen companies on the internet. When I run out of ink I look for another deal.

Shins are incredibly sore thanks you... I just put up a curtain and did it on tippy toe rather than using a ladder... that bloody hurt I can tell you...

Floor is still covered with carefully placed furniture - I bought filler yesterday...  whistle:

I've just bought a pack of 4. Only 79p from Bargain Booze. Incredible value, and soon get the gasses flowing.
