Especially when part of the journey can be at off peak rates they still try to charge full price for the whole bit.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Just had a knock at the door, it was a old school friend who I last saw properly back in 1985.
I saw him briefly back in 2004, and was shocked to see him with only one leg.
I tried my schools pages on FB, and his sister contacted me, asking why I wanted him.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Finally got the books in order and all the paperwork round to the accountants. 
Now I can get on with some quotes and backups.

Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
Osem Jnr has completed his first day working within a local primary school as part of his degree course. He loved it and I think he'll be a natural. Luckily for all concerned, he has all the patience I've never had...

Excellent Osem, both your boy's are a credit to you and Mrs O. So pleased that Osem Jnr really enjoyed his first day

Printers know when something's urgent and always choose that time to play up!

Too true.
Sadly we have a Kodak 'Hero' (a misnomer if ever there was one) 9.1 which appears to have decided to follow its maker into oblivion. Fortunately for Jnr., we also have Brother, Samsung, Dell, HP and Lexmark alternatives.
