  1. As any big game fisherman will tell you, the fun isn't in the actual landing the fish, it's in the fight. Watching it jiggle on the hook, repeatedly giving it enough line to think it's getting away and then pulling it back with another turn of the reel. Making it "tiresome" for it before finally bringing it in is the strategy. Seeing the poor sap and his supporters believe that he'll wriggle free is just as entertaining as the final blow will be.
  2. Depends what you mean by "proper". You will get perfectly reasonable photos from a laser jet, I have some A4 size ones of my family on my wall that look great. There is also glossy paper available that laser jet toner will fuse to, though I've never bothered with that. But, if you want professional quality, that stands up to microscopic analysis, then high quality inkjets are used. Also bear in mind that, although large poster size photos will come from inkjet plotters, your home printer is only able to produce up to A4 size anyway.
  3. I bought a Brother DCP-L3551CDW from the same vendor a few years ago, with the same satisfaction. I can leave it unused for a while and then fire it up and print right away, with none of that trying to clean the, or having to buy new, ink cartridges that all my previous inkjet printers required. I too use the wifi to print from my PC, or direct from my Android phone, but it can also be used with a USB cable if that's the OP's preference.
  4. Three English rockstars are hanging out comparing the best gifts they’ve ever received from royalty and looking for bragging rights. They’re in Roger Daltrey’s house and he’s showing off this amazing silver pinball machine. “This custom made silver Tommy pinball machine was given to me by the King of Sweden. He was a big fan of Pinball Wizard so he gave me this. Look, even the balls are solid silver.” Not to be outdone Paul McCartney pulls out a jewellery box, opens it and shows off an exquisite 24 carat gold beetle encrusted with diamonds and emeralds. “This was given to me by the Emperor of Japan; he was always a fan of The Beatles. Just look at the size of the diamond on its back. What do you have Mick?” So Mick Jagger reaches into his pocket and pulls out an old paper napkin, opens it up and shows the other two what looks like a very stale and mouldy old bread roll and says “this was a gift from the King of Morocco; it’s fabulous”. Daltrey and McCartney burst out laughing; “what the ****’s that Jagger” they sneer “a stupid piece of old bread”. Mick smiles and says “I know, it’s only Moroccan roll but I like it”
  5. My grandad's dog died not long after he passed away. I forgot to feed him as well.
  6. "Thankfully, Cardinal Pell will never enter Sydney again." Said Sydney's Mum.
  7. I broke my finger last week. On the other hand, I’m ok.
  8. Toward the end of Sunday service, the Minister asked, 'How many of you have forgiven your enemies?' 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady. 'Mrs. Neely?'; 'Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?' I don't have any.' She replied, smiling sweetly. 'Mrs. Neely, that is very unusual. How old are you?' 'Ninety-eight.' she replied. 'Oh, Mrs. Neely, would you please come down in front & tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years & not have an enemy in the world?' The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: 'I've outlived the bitches.'
  9. When I moved into my new igloo, my friends threw me a housewarming party. Now I’m homeless.
  10. Anne Summers have announced that they are going to start selling a new lager flavoured gel that women can rub on their "Bits". However, campaigner's want it banned amid fears of 24 hour "minge" drinking.
