Ink Cartridges
« on: September 16, 2009, 09:48:32 AM »
For about a month now, my PC has been telling me that my ink has run out. Well, funnily enough, it's still printing fine.

I may go and buy new ones, however, as a new off from Young's has just appeared offering a free pint per voucher. The small print does not give limits as to how many vouchers an individual can redeem - it only says "one pint (or Gin & Tonic) per person per voucher.

Sooooo...

If I print off, say, 100, I can get nicely hammered for a few days and pay for new ink cartridges out of the savings.

My HP laser has been telling me to replace the toner sine before Xmas - still just about going.

Not sure how many vouchers I will be able to print though.

After a swift 8 pints and 2 G&T's, I went home. Total cost = ?0 (apart from 4 sheets of A4 and the residual cartridge ink).

This offer lasts until 4th October - I wonder how long we will be able to get away with the freebies!  cloud9:

The entire public bar was hanging drunk by the time I left and only a few poor sods had to hand over cash. God, I love the idiots in Young's Marketing department.

I can't believe that they keep doing this. Still, make hay while the sun shines, hope the toner lasts out.

I have also got vouchers from the Crown & Anchor in Chichester.

I think he was even sub-Krankie.

Looks like he had an awful life.
