Printers that won't print in Black only when one of the colour cartridges is out of ink.

very frustrating.

richdeniro 21-11-2017 10:59 PM

Portland Road in South Norwood.

I know this could apply to virtually any main road in London but it just always seems to be carnage and the basic highway code does not apply. Cars pulling out from all over the place, three point turns, overtaking of buses despite traffic coming in the other direction, parking wherever you want (including someone actually stopping dead in the middle of the road and holding up traffic to run into the Sainsburys), pedestrians & cyclists literally jumping out off the pavement into traffic into the road without looking, etc etc.

Am surprised there isn't an accident everyday.

try this: in the print page set up, check the "print in greyscale" or "print in black only" option.

I did, and was, then this quit working. I read in the manual this will only work for a few days, as all cartridges are all working during even black only printing:

Quote:

Because this feature is only available for approximately five days, replace the expended ink cartridge as soon as
possible
And...

Quote:

To keep the print head clear and ready to print, the printer uses a small amount of ink from all the cartridges whenever it prints. Even if you select Black/Grayscale, some color ink is still being used.
Epson printers contain a permanent print head that needs to be charged with all colors to work. Even when you are printing black text only, a small amount of color ink is used to keep the print head charged. The print head needs to be kept charged to prevent air bubbles from entering. Air bubbles can damage the print head.
Therefore, once one of the cartridges is expended, the printer signals you to replace the cartridge in order for printing to continue.

The Palace fans that think the HF should get preferential treatment when it comes to tickets. I’ve been a regular at Selhurst Park since the 70s.

100% right mate. And don't forget there pathetic wiggling of there fingers when we score, one of the good things about this season is that we haven't seen it that much.

Yoda 23-11-2017 02:33 PM

Neckinger, I’m not entirely sure what level of preferential treatment the HF receive?

If each individual still has to meet the same level of points as the rest of us, then I’m fine with it. I can understand how it helps to have the HF standing together if possible, so I’m OK if the club reserves a block for them.

Bouncing about all match isn’t my thing and in the past I have found myself surrounded by them at away matches. So I’ve moved seats if possible, but that’s harder on a sellout.

But if HF are able to obtain tickets without the same ticket history as the rest of the fans, then I agree that would be treating fans differently.

Agreed that hf shouldn't be prioritised for tickets. But slagging them off for the way they generate atmosphere after a goal is more pathetic than their hands wiggling

Especially if it involves the guy(s) who spend the whole game with their back to the game "conducting" the HF.

I never thought I would see that sort of think at a game in England, let alone at Palace.

I agree with the gist of your post entirely.

But who are the Palace fans that think the HF should get preferred ticket allocation treatment? On the BBS, at least, I have only seen criticism of this idea. It is not even clear that this situation actually exists. Okay, there have been allocated blocks at Wembley, and maybe at some away games. Is there evidence that they unfairly got a group allocation (not points dependant) for more difficult away games - like Brighton?

Fair enough for a boy band or the like with teenagers participating.

This is one of the biggest myths going.

Are there members of the HF that get tickets before other fans? How does anyone possibly know every fan's season ticket/membership/loyalty point status?

I'm not saying they actually do, I have no evidence of that.

However, let's look at the Huddersfield League Cup Tie. There they are, plumb in the middle of the Homesdale Road lower tier, behind the goal. That's got to be some well coordinated ticket buying plan to get them all to log on simultaneously to buy their tickets as soon as the tickets went on sale. As I say, I'm not saying it happens, but it does make you wonder?

Yes yes we could have got the whole crowd into Crofton Halls in Orpington and still had a few empty seats, but whay about trips to Wembley?

I'm not denying the fact that Parish Points exist, it's just that some people's Parish Points may be more equal than others, especially if they are 'improving the brand'.

Yes, you hoi polloi, you disappear out of the seats you've been in for years so that the HF can move in. You see this kind of post dotted around the BBS.

TBF the tasty seats are not in Holmesdale Lower Blocks A and B. The best seats are probably in the Upper Tier Gallery.

Getting the audience to clap and join in makes them old timers? How weird your logic works.

PeterH 23-11-2017 07:28 PM

Must have been mentioned before, but basic air travel etiquette and annoyances.

Some stuff is annoying and some stuff is things I just dont get.

1. I dont get better standing up in a queue when the plane is not ready to board yet. Especially if they are going to call premium class, old and young first.

2. I prefer to wait until the end and join the queue with the last four or five. Invariably there is another queue to actually get on the plane.

3. In reverse the serial latecomer. Not someone tht has been held up in traffic or some other excuse. But the dickheads that always swan around the airport, and decide to go and join their fellow passengers when they feel like it. You are all sat there wondering when the doors are going to close, and twatface walks in without a hint of embarrassment - plus you also have to wait for them to get their oversized bag squeezed in somewhere with the help of a steward moving shit around.

This is particularly annoying when twatface has the formerly unoccupied seat next to yours.

4. People waiting to the last possible moment, and even needing to be told, to turn their cellphones off. This can be applied to cinemas and theatres, too. Same people are the first to turn the phones on in the airplane at landing. They need their phones smashing. Wait ten minutes until you get off the plane, stand to one side and make your OH SO IMPORTANT phone call.

5. People standing up and rummaging in the overhead lockers the moment the plane has taken off. Organise yourself better before you take your seat arsewipes.

6. People immediately standing up and waiting like planks the moment the plane has landed. Most of you will have to wait for luggage, idiots.

7. People who bring their own food onto the flight. Kind of like my friends who make packed lunches - but now so obsessed about saving money they need to prepare something to take with them because airports are SOOOO EXPENSIVE. Not nearly as expensive as the flights you paid for, the transfers and everything else. Of course, I make an exception for people having to bring pot-a-yogu for the kids.

8. People taking the piss with regard to hand luggage definitions. Then getting humpity when they are called on it.

9. Airlines, for a large part, not really providing a great and friendly experience.

That will do for now.

Things that annoy you
 
I can't disagree with much in Peter H's post about air travel.

There is a definite "I'm a frequent flyer, I know all the tricks" mentality out there, with people thinking they can screw the system.

I would add the seats made for midgets is my biggest annoyance though. That and inconsistent TSA requirements at security at different airports.

On the air travel one. At least on morning flights (any public transport), people that dont have the courtesy of taking a quick shower before heading out to the airport.

On my last flight, someone very close to us guffed as well. We had just landed, maybe he/she shit themselves. It was a real stinky poo.

All of that, plus the wanker that is always sitting in front of you who reclines their seat as far back as possible at all times crushing you into your own seat.

YES, YES, YES....

It is the same wanker that does it immediately after the plane has taken off, and before the meal is served. He/She needs to get 40 minutes sleep in before the food is served.

I try and pay a little extra at booking or seat reservation to get the extra leg room seats to negate the joy of these tosspots.

All of that and the above as well. Also I hate that the sheer number of flights at Heathrow and Gatwick means it takes ages to take off and land causing delays. Stop listening to nimbys and build some more runways. Apart from New York I have never been anywhere else in the world where this is such a problem.

I cant comprehend just how much of a selfish dickhead you have to be to do this. So annoying

Did you notice its absence from PeterH's list of in-flight annoyances though?

For something so obvious, it was conspicuous by its absence. Very suspect.

I saw on a program, I can't remember which one, there is on the market a simple gadget that you can slyly fix to the chair in front of yours that prevents it from reclining.

:rolleyes: Black Friday now has become entrenched in the never ending treadmill of commercial scams to enslave mankind. Christmas, Easter, Valentines, Mothers, Father's Day (be good to them all year), Firework night and the complete nonsense of Halloween. Get rid of the lot and just give spontaneously and sincerely.

That has to be of the most annoying/frustrating things ever.

The plane lands early and you get sort of excited, only to be stuck on a taxiway for an hour because there is no gate available.

It inevitably happens every time at the big hub airports in The US. What is the point of taking off on time only to sit on the runway for an inordinate time when you land at the other end. Seems to get worse as the day goes on for obvious reasons. So many people missing connections.

A year or so back coming from Hawaii to Los Angeles (a 5 hour flight), we landed a little early, and proceeded to spend the next hour and half taxing around the airport looking for somewhere to park - The controllers kept moving the plane to keep taxiways clear. A bit like Sainsbury's car park I guess. You could tell even the captain was getting pissed off! At least we were home and I didn't have to get up the next morning...

Dont worry you wouldnt have a tray for too long.

On long-haul flights when the rear rows are called you are always stood in the queue with someone in front obviously holding a ticket with a row 20 rows forward to those called. That person in front always still manages to board anyway and is never held back.

When your rows 45 to 65 are called you will always meet someone at row 30 (that hasn't been called) who is leisurely unpacking things between the locker and his seat. This person then gives a black look at the growing queue waiting for him to shift out the way. In the 45 minutes the guy was sat twiddling his thumbs at the gate he never thought to put his bits and bobs in a carrier bag to take to his seat so he could just sit straight down after stowing his main bag.

People stood in the aisle next where you are seated and you just know that you are going to be asked if you could move so that someone can sit with their partner or friend. Not only on the plane but Singapore airlines have pulled me out the queue twice asking if I can move my selected seat to accommodate people who want to sit together.

I simply leave my knees exactly where they were before the seat was reclined when this happens. The seat invariably returns to its upright position before long

Den Haag Eagle 24-11-2017 09:40 AM

Something I am seeing more and more is the latest craze on flights, where you board the plane and put your hand luggage in the first available space, then proceed to the back of the plane where your seat is. Thus blocking the luggage space for people sitting near the front.
I find this quite annoying

Alcohol is, I believe, mostly vegetarian so it's a win:win for your household

The thought of eating a meal that doesn’t contain a form of meat disgusts me. Even if my miss Andyo was to cook a pasta meal I always say okay, but make sure it has meat in it. Fruit is the only thing I can eat which doesn’t contain meat, and even that I often think would go okay with chicken.

The wankers that are Camden Council approving a huge development that will add 14 storey blocks in a low rise area, less access to a new supermarket, and a f*cking 'rooftop chilli farm', all for an 11m bung.

To start construction next year, coinciding with the HS2 debacle that is already screwing up the south of the borough. Ten years of chaos to look forward to.

Delaying a shower because you think you might need a shit. It gets too late to delay the shower further because you have to leave soon.

The second you step out of the shower, you need a shit

I clicked the link regardless, but knew what to expect.

Strangely though, the 'shit urge' doesn't normally emerge until that moment you step fresh out if the shower. Showers are more for urinating in, of course.

Not only on the plane but Singapore airlines have pulled me out the queue twice asking if I can move my selected seat to accommodate people who want to sit together.

I think various airlines are trying different grouping when boarding. They all appear to have a different logic (The new crazy BA one to board in order of what you paid for the ticket having zero logic).

On a recent United Airlines trip it appeared that Group 1 & 2 was for the rich and famous, plus the usual preferred boarding folks. Group 3 was for all the window seating people, Group 4 the middle row, and Group 5 the isle seats.

It sort of worked, but by the time Group 5 boarded there was no bin space left.

Luckily, as much as I now dislike window seats at least I was Group 3 and got on reasonably early. As alluded to though, this does not stop the people near the front getting on prior to the people at the back regardless of group which causes isle block.

Pissing, please!

And it is eco-friendly too, as it saves the water you would have used flushing.

Had a real bad case of the trots in Turkey once while in the shower. Didn't have time to get out, does that make me a wrong un.

When I was last back I found charity shops great for books.

I was passing through Bexhill, don't ask, a town full of them. Bought about 20 books at probably a quid each.

Get that idea out of her head Pete. Smartish. Let's not have that one festering in there.

I can barely tolerate a day without meat (or fish) in the diet.
