Printer refuses to print but doesn’t give an explanation... usual IT rubbish, it’s connected there is paper, there is ink but still the lazy piece of @@@@ cannot get on with the job.
It will probably print it out at some random point of the day.

Probably 4 copies...

Thankfully not the Mac wizz deleted the extra jobs.. but she still could not explain why the damn thing did not do it’s job.
Several hard resets and nearly got to a full on software replacement download and set up .. it eventually did work.
software and Bluetooth/wireless should be no where near primary safety functions they are not reliable enough.

Someone at work, who shall remain nameless, worked the Christmas stock take (all 3 days) in close proximity to someone who has since gone down with covid. They were told on Monday that this person has covid, and have completely ignored it, no isolation, no quarantine, zip.
There is no one to report this to, it is what it is. Luckily I am working from home, and will be for the foreseeable.

Sounds like it needs reprogramming with a very large axe...

i noticed this as well.

when we got our cockapoo in 2017 they were £700-£1000. Now you cant get one for less than £2500
Rupert was about £900 and his father /sire was a best in breed crafts winner, so he was top end cost wise, puppys are now going upwards for £3500.
was a report on one of the GSp groups of a breeder not hip scoring the bitch or the male and to make matter worse, it will be her 2nd litter in a year and they are asking £5K for the pups. staggering

Slight random irritation but sympathetic at same time

Had a minor procedure booked for November.. they had to cancel as Dr got track and traced that was annoying.. day before

This time it's booked for next week but Dr has covid

Annoying yes but that poor Dr. Hopefully he recovers fast .. not just for my selfish reasons lol

It has been a brilliant thread but apart from your point too many also drifted off the actual heading which was a shame. A good start to the year from it though.

Sorry might have help get that fire started but hey ho life goes on

Tbh it was just a bit tongue in cheek, it could of gone in the “gladden your heart” thread as it makes me smile that as soon as Football is mentioned in any thread outside the PL one, certain posters jump on it like a tramp on chips.

And religion is only brought in to as many threads as he can by one person.:unsure:

Yup, they love to moderate the threads but were nowhere to be seen when MikeH asked for more Mods. :rolleyes:

One does like a bit of manual correction of electronic/software stupidity.. that is after giving it a stern talking to and then telling the IT gods “jobs” he wasn’t that great and calling Gates a sanctimonious hypocrite who can go boil is head

Letter from the electric supplier saying no power next Thursday from 7am till 14:00.
Will bill them for 7hrs work then .. ! We are in lock down and they should be looking at alternative solutions. Bit heavy handed approach!
