Shouldn't this tale of woe be in the Computer Room?  rubschin:

 rubschin:

Computer or transport related woe... or just Nick!  lol: lol: lol:

I've thought this for a while but wouldnt it make sense to give Nick his own room? You could even call it the Disaster Zone...  whistle:

I take it you just didn't buy the one cartridge but stocked up a least a couple of each colour. Otherwise it really would be a idiotic waste of time and money.  

I also bought some black cartridges which I need, a copy of the new Start Trek DVD and a bottle of collapso  cloud9:

But not the other colours...?  noooo:

Obviously not.

Yes but you'll never manage it.

Go into "Printer Settings" on your laptop and change from colour to Black. Simples really!

Now you're overly complicating matters Snoops

First of all need Nick you will need to find your going out trousers

Put those on in the right order and sitting on the edge of the bed

Go out

Forget wallet

Go back home

Trash house looking for wallet

Find wallet in microwave

Leave house

Forget keys

Go to train station

Remember it is Sunday Service

Wait for Monday

Get aeroplane after giving up on train

Arrive in the Isle of Skye

Realise they don't have a Tesco's

Get ferry to mainland

Hitchhike to Glasgow

Find a gingerbread man in a pub

Ask him if he knows anywhere he can get cartridges

Man goes off whispers something into mobile that he can't understand

An hour later in the car park gets handed gun pellets and is asked for payment

Pulls out Tesco's Bonus Card but dealers not impressed

They dump him on wasteland commonly called England

He gets a cab back to his house

Can't get in as he has no keys

Goes into shed and takes out rug - pays the cab man with this . Says it's an heirloom

Goes back into shed and writes invoice out with a Bic Biro
