Paying a sixth of his salary to an outsourcing company and spending his days lazing around doing nothing.
A prince among men.

The colour ones are still full. One of the reasons I bought the printer in the first place is that you can replace the cartridges individually for each colour. We hardly ever use it so this is a bonus.
Anyway, I have a full set of spare cartridges for it, one of each colour. I bought them when we got the printer. I can't find them.

It was for the wine course I've been doing. It's been great fun, I've learnt loads and think I did ok on the exam. Didn't do amazingly (probably would have needed to work a bit harder!) and I think some of the exam questions were a bit against the spirit of what we'd learnt. 3 questions on Fino Sherry, really?

It's made by lazy men trying to find easier ways to do something."- Robert HeinleinHeinlein strikes me as a guy who knew that waking up early sucks ass. Think about it, when do you ever wake up early to do something good? Do you wake up early to get drunk? Do some whoring? No. No you don't. It's always something ridiculous like, go to work.

Was considering going to see Watchmen this weekend, I'm sure it'd be great at the Cinema, but then there are all the downsides.Cost. For two of us to go to the cinema costs more than a Blu-Ray disk of the filmHome set-ups for TV, sound etc. are now really good. Not as good as a cinema but still v. good.The snacks are a complete rip off.
