The Retirement Thread

[PaulSB]

Hello everyone. Started with cold and heavy rain this morning which has now turned to snow. All a bit dreary really.

Like yesterday I'm feeling motivated. Mrs P and I had a long chat about this yesterday and how to channel this in to my recuperation. It's all about getting well slowly.

Off to some kitchen chores now and I'm cooking tea tonight!!

On the car thing, this happened in reverse to us. 30 years ago we had a very new Peugeot 208 and had a bad accident with damage running in to thousands. To my surprise the insurance company decided on repair which we insisted should be at the main dealer we bought the car from.

When it was time to change the car we traded in to the same garage. Our view being they knew the entire history.

Several years later we received a letter from a supposedly "legal" company asking if the vehicle had been in a serious collision. After some thought we ignored this on the basis we had done everything correctly.

My point is this. There are companies, some more pleasant than others, who will chase this problem for you and you may be able to get some redress.

Morning all Day of rest with feet up. My dodgy knee is playing up, dose up on Ibuprofen should do the trick.

Printers can be really tempremental. I have had trouble pringting things off before. Turning it off and on can kick start it. Other than that maybe connecting it to your laptop with a cable might work, or if you have a printer app, try uninstalling it and re intstalling the ap. Then if it still doesn't work, throw it at the wall. Still won't work, but it might make you feel a bit better, and printers are as cheap as chips nowadays, probably one reason why they don't work very well.

Morning all, dog walked and cobwebs blown away in the strong wind.
Printers,--- My one is so temperamental that sometimes it wont print at all, and it has to be turned off and then back on for it to work. Sometimes this doesn't work. Then hours later it will spring into life and start printing everything on the print list

@Dave7 it would be worth checking the print queue - what is waiting to print - delete everything, switch off, restart and then try to print the document again.

Sometimes it's a problem with the doc in the queue.

Thanks for that.
I think I have found the problem. I just need someone with half a brain to sort it now

I've only half a brain at present - will that help?

Well don't look at this lot. You would be hard pressed to make a whole brain from all of them put together.

Half a brain is better than none.

How soon can you get round here ??
