Our printer ran out of its black ink cartridge the other day. 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. I

So I did my first Exam since university yesterday, which was a bit odd. 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? Of course if

In many ways I guess I could be accused of having a lot of the attributes of a foody.I have been to a farmers market and bought food there.I have grown my own (pitifully small) amount of food.I watch lots of cooking shows, and shout at the screen at the ineptness and retardedness of the contestants when they try and open a tin with a massive kitchen knife or serve cheap Asda smoked salmon to

A few weeks ago the wife and I (wife?! WTF?!) went back into education. Yeah. We got a flyer through the door for a wine course run by the local council adult education place. I've heard really good things about the place, my cousin teaches jewellery making there, and we love wine so we thought sod it we'll sign up.School would have been so much better if it involved sitting around in small

HA! I have fallen victim to a cunning marketing ploy. I have been considering getting a PS3 for ages and ages and this morning I got an e-mail from Amazon about their new PS3 250Gb bundles. Console + 3 games (inc. FIFA 10) + HDMI cable for £284... sounded like a bargain and having looked around at other offerings it is indeed a very bargainous bargain.SO I have bought one and it's coming tomorrow

I've been off sick for the last two days with a cold. Being ill is rubbish. Days off work are fantastic if you can do something good with your time, go away somewhere, do something fun or whatever but when you are basically stuck in bed feeling too shit to do anything other than watch daytime TV they suck. I'd rather be at work.Daytime TV is particularly terrible. On sky we've got approximately

"Progress isn't made by early risers. 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. Or go on a 10 hour

It turns out planning a wedding is exactly the same as building your own house. Well. Kind of.Grand Designs is a show that follows people building their own houses. Normally with some grand idea behind it all, hence the name. At some point in the show there's always the section where the novice home builder is swamped by questions and decisions that they don't know the answers to and they have to

Is shit isn't it? 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. The sweets are ok but massively expensive.

This week's bad weather has created all kinds of interesting transport situations. This morning I had 2 trains cancelled and was on my third platform of the morning waiting for the third train. It was scheduled to be the second train on that platform. All good. Then, suddenly, just as a train approached the platform there was a correction to the schedule and my train was now going to be the first

This is a great story for the new year. A couple of kids in Germany, aged 5 and 6, decided to go to Africa to get married. Packed their things and set off. Aah... how sweet. The Guardian has more on the story here. It's a nice heartwarming story, probably one Disney could make into an extremely saccharine Christmas Movie staring Machauly Culkin in his prime. I would suggest to the filmmakers that

Right. My New Years Resolution (I don't believe in them really) is to blog more, and blog better. You could say that if blogging more and better involves more effort on my part my resolution is actually against the principles of the site... and on a surface level you'd be right. But really blogging should be fun (otherwise why bother?) and it's perfectly acceptable to put effort into something

My girlfriend (the word fiancé is weird and horrible sounding) got me Bad Science by Ben Goldacre for Christmas. It's a most excellent book which explains exactly why so much Science reporting, mainly in the area of health and diet, is so dodgy and in some cases downright dangerous.It's also very readable and very funny. I picked it up to have a quick look on Christmas day and ended up reading

The idea for this post has been shamelessly stolen from the BBC.  I'm sure Tomorrow's World was predicting we'd all have our own personal house robot slaves by now.Personally I can't imagine a robot like this being developed for the domestic market.

Save yourselves a shit load of effort by not introducing time travel as part of the storyline.Not only will it be easier for you to remember what's happening but your storylines might have a vague chance of being coherent rather than nonsensical and annoying.I'm looking at you Tim Kring.I do like the idea of keeping us on our toes about who is actually a hero or a villain though.

UK train users will be familiar with our ridiculous system of train fares that mean you journeys where you rock up and buy your ticket on the day are very expensive, but journeys where you book in advance can be ridiculously cheap, as long as you get one of the cheap tickets before they sell out.What you might not know is that sometimes the first class advance fares can be the same price as the

Look, morons. Are you one of those people constantly driving down the road with 400 yards of open space in front of you? You're tooling down the road like an old man post prostate surgery as you say to yourself "Hmmm, traffic isn't so bad this morning!". I've got news for you assholes. It's because you're the god damn traffic jam. You're the half-wit stacking up cars and forming the very

Having read this article about homebrewing I'm thinking that it could be about time I actually did it. It's something I've thought about doing for ages, ever since we were at school and one of our friends made a load in his loft. It ranged from a very pleasant light ale to the virtually undrinkable but lethally strong concoction, and that was just from the same barrel at different times. The

Google launched their new browser, Chrome the a little while back. It's got lots of handy little features and a lot of interesting stuff going on in the back end.

So, Spore is on it's way to becoming the most pirated game ever. If you've missed the online shitstorm I'll summarise, the game only allows you to install it 3 times. Now, I'm not one of those gamers uninstall games once they have played them for a bit and then re-installs them at some later date when they fancy playing again.

My girlfriend just scheduled for us to go out for dinner by putting it in our Google Calendar. Of course, she talked to me about it before, I'm sure, and I remember very clearly that we'd arranged this so it's not a surprise. Definitely not. Very clear recollections I have. So it's fine she didn't say where we were going or anything in the calendar entry. Erm.On the other hand according to the

About two years ago I cut down and dug out the roots of a row of bushes that lined the street in front of our house. They were about 12 to 15 feet tall, so it was quite a job. I managed to get rid of the branches, trunks and roots by cutting them into roughly four foot lengths and putting them into garbage cans. The garbage guys come twice a week, and I could generally get rid of two or three

I need to renew my passport, which is a bit of a faff, so I went onto the Passport Service website to check stuff out and found out that I could fill in my application online and they'd post me the forms all printed and filled in and all I need to do is sign them, give them some photos and send it back.

I discovered a new way to get in trouble with the ol' ball and chain last night (and that's probably another way right there too).Pedophilia. Or at least being accused of pedophilia. See, BaC (Ball and Chain for those of you slow on the uptake) turns on the Teen Choice awards as "nothing else is on". Up pops Vanessa Hudgens and Miley Cyrus. Two young starlets who enjoy taking risky pictures of

While watching the bootlegged trailer from Comic-Con for the Wolverine Origin movie I got to thinking. Always a dangerous situation so I had to lay down. As I was laying in my underwear on the couch covered in a fine coat of Doritos cheese dust, I wondered "Where does being lazy come from?". I mean, everything comes from somewhere right? Eggs come from chickens. Babies come from storks.

Hello readers!Both Danny and I are occasional game reviewers and I've been known to knock out the odd music review from time to time but neither of us have done too much of that recently. Why not? It's actually quite hard work and generally takes time away that you could be playing whatever game it is you enjoyed so much you felt like writing about it.So we came up with the concept of LazyViews,

This morning I was watching BBC Breakfast whilst eating my breakfast (how did they think of the name?) and they had a piece saying that procrastination causes problems with jobs/relationships etc for 1 in 5 people.So they had on 2 experts, one who was a lazy person and one who claimed to have a cure for procrastination. I heard the expert lazy man say that he was too lazy even to iron his shirt

I'm taking a little bit of a departure here. Bending away from the world of laziness a bit, toward the world of me being a fuck up.According to the results of our recent, highly scientific poll, our good readers (aka the ass clowns) want to see us get in more trouble with our women folk. Well, to help make that a reality, I'm going to post all the things that usually get me into said trouble. By

I think it's fine, but I am not the person designated with updating the official house cleanliness status*. Anyway, I've got a cunning plan.

Right, we've had some feedback. Not feedback on here obviously, that'd be too easy, but on cg. There are two schools of thought about how LazyView could do better.1. We need to try harder.2. We are trying too hard.Now, on first view point 1 might seem the logical solution. If LazyView isn't working too well then we should put more work into it, try harder, post more etc. Obviously this view is

I have been inspired by the new changes to LazyView, the recent 1 year anniversary of the blog and this post on Birdseed's Tunedown to ask you lot, our readers, what it is you like or don't like about LazyView.So here goes.

Our blogroll now shows the latest post from each blog, and I've replaced our old subscription buttons with the google app for it.

I think the hilliest city I've ever been to in England has to be Bristol. Is this why the government has made it Britain's first cycling city? I can't think of many cities that'd be more crippling to cycle around. Well, half the time, half the time it'd be the easiest city to cycle around I suppose.On average it's flat... shit that sounds dangerously like maths, and I promised Danny no more maths.

We aimed to make an average of 1 post a day so we're 152 posts short (I think it's a leap year).

I just stumbled across this blog post on the Guardian website. It describes the running battle this blogger has with his partner "The Baker" in the kitchen and especially over the dishwasher. I'm sure "The Baker" is some kind of hitman, possibly an Italian American version of Bunman.Back in the early days of Lazyview (nearly a year ago!) I mentioned my own struggles with the dishwasher.

I reckon this means that within months we'll have Stephen Hawking's brain embedded in a fully robotic moving life support system much like the drug crazed psycho who gets transformed into RoboCop 2 in the film of the same name. Or the

I know the sad losers that read this blog are big, fat, sad losers just like me. And if you're like me you've been drunk. And hungry. And far away from home.

Like a lovely cold pint of lager on a hot summers day it was refreshing to read this piece in the Guardian about how we are (finally) getting access to really nice lagers in English pubs. It's true, and it's about time. I was fed up of returning from Europe, or even New Zealand, after a nice holiday drinking lovely tasty lagers and then ending up in a pub in England and having to choose between

Sorry for all the link to news story type posts this week. What do you expect, me to actually put some effort into composing some hilarious prose for you? And at least there are some posts, unlike previous months.Anyway Scientists have discovered that sloths aren't lazy, they are just slow. They say they aren't lazy, because they only sleep for 9.6 hours a day. That seems quite a lot to me! Is

Australian police have fined a man for failing to ensure that a child was wearing a seatbelt in his car. He did make sure his carton of beer was well secured though.He obviously didn't give a XXXX about the child's safety.Has the child been taken into Fosters care?Perhaps he was a VB programmer. Er. That doesn't work does it.

"Third of staff 'hungover at desk'" is the headline but, of course, the headline is misleading. It's not that 1/3 of staff are hungover at their desks every day! No, surprisingly the story is that a mere 1/3 of workers have ever been hungover at their desks. That's what they are saying. Only 1/3 of people have come into work with a hangover at some point? Or should I say, only 1/3 of people said

And not only that, ">he's too fat to fit in the courthouse as well. Let's not rush to judgement people. Maybe it's an old timey courthouse from the 1920s that has small doors? After all, in the old days fat babies were left in the cold to die with the rest of the deformed freaks. Fat people really weren't invented until 1965 when fast food and the remote control began the expansion of their

It's local elections in the UK today, including the London mayoral elections. A few years ago the government decide to allowed people to vote by post. It'd always been possible for people living overseas etc. but nowadays anyone can opt to vote by post. Which is great. Getting down to the polling station before or after work on a Thursday can be a bit of a pain and you normally have to queue with

I am working from home today, because I had a hospital appointment to scan my broken shoulder* and it didn't seem worth going in afterwards. Anyway, my girlfriend is also working from home because she came with me. I'm in the office in the basement and she's upstairs in the lounge. So I am e-mailing her with questions, just like I would if we were both at work in different towns. I really can't

Ok. I'm going to admit something...Sometimes I get really angry about stuff. Not angry enough to start shooting things, but angry enough to yell and scream. This happens anytime from driving to having the batteries on the remote control die. It's often very random and frequently depends on how much I've had to drink. I'm not an angry drunk or anything, I just don't like people, things, mother

I've seen a couple of stories in the last couple of days that have made me think that in Wales even the fuddy duddy old establishment types might be quite cool.The first story was about a drunk in Anglesea who leapt over a wall shouting "Darth Vader!", to attack members of a newly formed Jedi Church. He was unconvincingly dressed a black bin-bag. When he didn't turn up for his court appearance

Go and read this post from the excellent if you like it so much why dont you go live there blog.It makes me laugh every time. I don't know why. Really, it's so cruel. I think it's the idea that this guy thinks that having a petition sent round saying you are too ugly to come to school is a traditional form of bullying.

Here's a rambling thought that came to me at lunch. It's about one of the games that I play when driving. As a matter of fact, I think most drivers play this game. Those poopheads out there that ride trains instead of driving, well, you can just fuck off and not read this.When I pull up to stop light on a multilane road I always try and figure out which lane is going to go faster.

Regular readers will know I'm an avid fan of crap tv cookery shows. Yesterday I decided to watch Market Kitchen, mainly because the Hairy Bikers were on. If anyone doesn't know, these are two er... hairy bikers, who travel around the world on motorbikes cooking. Generally big meaty manly dishes, cooked outside in Keith Floyd style cooking sketches. Anyway they are great, but Market Kitchen which

On balance, no. It's rubbish. Sure you can't do a lot of crappy things like cleaning and washing up that you don't want to do but you also can't do a lot of the fun stuff that you do want to do like sleep or going out. You really don't notice how much people wander around bashing into one another in a busy town or station until it really hurts when they bash into you. I can now type two handed

I'm leaving town once again. Hopefully with the police not chasing me for once. I know, I know, I know...what's the difference when you're here and when you're away? Well, now I have an excuse why I won't blog for 5 days other that being a lazy git. I had so much to blog about too.

Bollocks. I broke my collar bone playing football. It will teach me for doing something so unlazy in the first place I suppose. So I'm writing this blog very slowly with one hand.There are some plus points, as my girlfriend pointed out, there are now all kinds of things that I don't like doing, that I can't do because I only have one arm I can use effectively. Like washing up, cleaning etc. And

I finally got fed up of always having to ask my girlfriend if we were free on a certain day to do something, so I decided to try setting up a google calendar.

Now this is what I call practical political activism. An Edinburgh bar has started an internet campaign to have the Chancellor, Alistair Darling, barred from every pub in the country as a protest about his latest round of booze tax increases. Now, one of the brilliant things about this is that it's got publicity in a national newspaper despite the following fact:A Facebook group called "Alistair

No, not the card game you big damn loser. Actual magic, by actual magicians. Ok, not magic. Hypnosis. Hypnosis for the purpose of EVIL! Apparently there's a rogue magician running around Rome hypnotizing bank tellers and making off with the cash. Last time I stared at a woman and said "Look into my eyes" I got a faceful of mace.

Welcome back. I had a very enjoyable Lazy Easter break. Didn't really do very much at all. The only things we really had to do was get online and organise spending some vouchers we have for stuff.

I finally have a decent answer. Because I'd have totally sucked. According to this story in the NY Times the more beer you drink the less successful you'll be as a scientist. Now, during my degree, I drank a hell of a lot of beer, and in the end I really wasn't very successful. It is probably for the best that I didn't continue into it as a career. I'd probably never have had anything published

It's coming up to that time of year when Pontius Pilate did us all a favour and had Jesus executed so that he could allegedly rise from the dead and give those of us who live in the UK two excellent bank holidays in Spring. For those of you that don't live in the UK, Bank Holidays are where you don't have to go to work. Well unless you work in a shop, or a bar or something. In which case, unlucky

As someone who's posted a few times about Lazy cooking I guess I should have a view on Delia's controversial new show and book. For those who haven't been following the controversy, or for those overseas, the issue is that she's using convenience foods, and even goes as far as to name brands in her book.I've been thinking about what to write, but once again procrastination bore fruit and the

Here at Lazy View, we sometimes like to cover fat people. Fat people are, at least on some level, lazy by nature. Either they're fat because they're lazy, or they're lazy because they're fat. In the case of the "glandular" fatties they have lazy glands.Today we have a story about the world's fattest man. See, he's not actually the world's fattest man anymore.

I've decided to coin a new term, as I frequently do. See, check out the title....Banked Laziness. It means what it sounds like it means. You put a little effort out now and you are rewarded with laziness plus interest. Just like a bank! Unless you lost all your money with a sub prime loan or something. In that case, you're an idiot, and not even Lazy View can help you. We've tried to explain this
