I think originally they were meant for hanging in the unit, I was going to sneak them off the printer at work, running out at something like 1000mm wide. I may be able to do the odd smaller one if you want Mike, I just have to be careful I don't take the piss as I'm getting them for free.

Nice one Stiggy, what size would you want it outputting at?
If you want a giant one then the original file really needs to be a minimum of A3 (420x297mm) at 300 dpi resolution for it to scale up on the printer and look reasonably ok. (RGB file at A3 should work out at around 50mb uncompressed).

Two friends were playing golf when one pulled out a cigar but he did not have a lighter so he asked his friend if he had one.
“I sure do,” he replied and reached into his golf bag and pulled out a 12 inch Bic lighter.
“Wow!” said his friend, “Where did you get that monster?”
“I got it from my genie.”
“You have a genie?” he asked. “Yes, he is right here in my golf bag.”
“Could I see him?”
He opened his golf bag and out popped the genie. The friend turned to the genie and said,
“I am a good friend of your master. Will you grant me one wish?”
“Yes I will,” the genie said.
“I wish for a million bucks!”
The genie hopped back into the golf bag and left him standing there waiting for his wish to be delivered.
Suddenly the sky began to darken and the sound of a million ducks flying overhead was heard.
The friend turned to his golfing partner, “I asked for a million bucks not ducks!”
“I forgot to tell you the genie is hard of hearing. Do you really think I asked him for a 12 inch Bic?”

I felt sorry for a hypnotist I saw last night. He hypnotised 7 blokes then tripped over the microphone cable and yelled "F-ck Me"...... What happened next will haunt me forever.

Lights up when powered on but doesn't work, screen shows nothing.

The law of Jimbob says that is working 

Tempting find, looks mighty dirty though.
