Yesterday at work david sent me a fax but I only got the first page then the fax machine had a fit and died, then today another fax came through for jen, but it didn’t work either, so steve and I walked across to Westfield to buy a new fax machine, first we went to dick smith, we looked there, then went down to tandy and looked there, then went back to dick smith, at dick smith we where served by dama, who tom david and I went to primary school with, anyway steve bought a $30 paper shredder, what fun, then we went back to tandy and bought a fax machine, after the sales assistant had talked steve into extending the warranty and the credit card transaction was complete she said “there is no toner for this fax in Australia as of yet because its such a new machine” Well that’s good to know after we have just bought it and paid for it.
“there is a small ribbon in the fax that will last for 25 pages or so, and there should be new ribbons available in the next few weeks”

Bit silly if you ask me, silly tandy, anyway we went back to the office and steve unpacked the shredder and plugged it in and we where both quite excited about shredding stuff, so steve sat there for ages just shredding bits of paper,
It says on it “Up to 5 sheets at a time”. So I said to steve “put in 6, come on I bet it can take 6, it will be fine” then I went and set up the fax and came back in a few minutes and steve said “this is 7″ and began to feed it into the shredder, it all got jammed, and when steve pressed the reverse button all the previously shredded paper began coming out the top, and onto the floor, it got all jammed and steve spent the next little while un-jamming out new shredder with a screw driver.

I told him 6 pages, but oh no he had to go one better!

The new fax machine is fun.
