I'm providing emergency cover all weekend and monday, so going no where, though the obsceen OT rate makes up for it, besides the Omega is in the garage for cam belt and rocker gaskets till Monday...

Doing Alton Towers Thursday with some of my team at work as a treat for doing well in the first quarter of the year, always seems our weekends come mid week :(

I am driving a Student Union mini-bus to the Medway Boat Race on Saturday, then busy reading and revising for my exams for the rest of the time! :'(  

I really want to be extending my garage to make it fit my car, which has a towing hitch that makes it 6 inches too long, but the priority must be the exams :'(  ........mind you I may still do some maintenance on the car instead!! ;D ;D :y

ø sounds a little like "urh"

å is like the English "oh"

Hv is prounounced "Wh"

G is pronounced a little like a the English "Y" (as used in 'Yes')

Aside from the above sounds the words are said as you would in English.....`easy!  :y

.....seriously though: `never met a Dane whom couldn`t speak fluent English, so you`ll be fine.  ;)

Ow yes.....the rather thing didn't work when I got it home either.......so I had to fix it.

Turns out there was a minor assembly issue and the contacts for one of the ink tank PROMS was not correctly clipped into the casing......so soon fixed that!

I would not dismantle as I would not have been able to swap it.

We had an Epsom we scrapped due to spares costing almost as much as the printer, so I got a Canon IP5000, which prints on DVDs ect, not quite as good a photo printer but better at everything else.

Ow yes.....the rather thing didn't work when I got it home either.......so I had to fix it.

Turns out there was a minor assembly issue and the contacts for one of the ink tank PROMS was not correctly clipped into the casing......so soon fixed that!


B****y Hell everyone else would take it back and swap it.

So what make/model is it then?

Not when it was such a minor fault.....its a HP C8100.....the old 10 year old Epsom is now in the bin!

I would not dismantle as I would not have been able to swap it.

We had an Epsom we scrapped due to spares costing almost as much as the printer, so I got a Canon IP5000, which prints on DVDs ect, not quite as good a photo printer but better at everything else.

No need to dismantle, simply a case of identifying the fault and then usinga suitable tool to click the contacts correctly into place.
