I had an old CP2025dn I rescued from work. Barely replaced one of the used toner cartridges in it before it broke. That was after four or five years though. Good while it worked.

The trick is to make sure it takes the "flattest" route - ie. use the manual feed tray. Also make sure duplex is switched off if you have it, I think I've made that mistake before.

I bought a Brother multifunction printer. It's ace! It just works, even scanning just works. It can even scan directly to email, and print from email.

I found out recently that my local library does a board games thing on a Saturday morning.

I think there's another in the same county that does D&D but I might have imagined that.

It was 27 October 1954, a typically crisp autumn day in Tuscany. The mighty Fiorentina club was playing against its local rival Pistoiese.

Ten-thousand fans were watching in the concrete bowl of the Stadio Artemi Franchi. But just after half-time the stadium fell eerily silent - then a roar went up from the crowd. The spectators were no longer watching the match, but were looking up at the sky, fingers pointing. The players stopped playing, the ball rolled to a stand-still.

Play was suspended because spectators saw something in the sky, according to the referee's match report.

The incident at the stadium cannot simply be interpreted as mass hysteria - there were numerous UFO sightings in many towns across Tuscany that day and over the days that followed. According to some eyewitness accounts a ray of white light was seen in the sky coming from Prato, north of Florence.

It is a fact that at the same time the UFOs were seen over Florence there was a strange, sticky substance falling from above. In English we call this 'angel hair'.
