Save Money With Cartridge King
On occasions I recommend, through the pages of the Journal, commercial websites. I only ever do this when I have personally used the websites myself and felt they offer a combination of good products, good service and great value for money. To support my computer system I have an Epson Stylus SX205 all-in-one printer, scanner and copier. As with all colour printers I find the cartridges very expensive. I prefer to buy manufacturers originals, I have tried refills and compatibles but, in my opinion, they have never been cost effective. They have a shorter a life and a reduced quality of print compared to originals. I currently buy my replacement cartridges from a Jersey based company called Cartridge King, their web address is http://www.cartridgeking.eu/ and they offer an excellent service on selling manufacturers originals. If I buy direct from Epson, my particular pack of cartridges cost £31.28 delivered free. If I buy them from Cartridge King they cost £20.30 delivered free. That represents a massive saving of nearly 32% for exactly the same product. They are delivered, by post, within three days of placing the order. Before buying your next supply of cartridges, check out this site, and see how much money you can save. I think you will be pleasantly surprised.

What A Load Of Old Crap
Whilst finding this story funny, I did feel sorry for the student involved.
Daniel Bennett is a Leeds University student. As part of his PhD field work Daniel collected 77 pounds of faeces from the very rare butaan lizard. The lizard excrement can only be found in the rain forests of the Philippines. It took the patient student seven years of diligent collecting to gather together that amount of samples, which were stored in an unmarked bag in his laboratory. But he was devastated on his return from a trip to the Philippines to find that the bag, and its contents, had been thrown out with the rubbish, during a clear-out of his lab.
"To some people it might have been just a bag of lizard sh**," he told Times Higher Education "But to me it represented seven years of painstaking work searching the rain forests with a team of reformed poachers to find the faeces of one of the worlds largest, rarest and most mysterious lizards." Daniel continued "Whether it was the largest collection of lizard sh** in the world is uncertain" he said. "But it certainly contained the only dietary sample from that little known species Varanus olivaceus and probably the most complete dietary record of any single population of animals in South East Asia. After Daniel lodged an official complaint about the loss, the University offered him £500 in compensation. Bennett however feels this is not enough and has vowed to "see them in court."
So, will the sh** hit the fan for the University? Has Daniel's life work gone down the pan? Or is the whole thing a load of crap? More on this story at our convenience!

Brainteaser - Tuesday's Answer
To solve Tuesday's brainteaser you had to find the odd word out from the five given. I thought this was quite difficult! Here is the answer:
The odd word out was Play as it was the only word that could not be followed by 'pick' to make a longer word. For example Handpick, Toothpick, Icepick and Nitpick.
Well done to those readers who came up with the correct answer!
