I've just wandered into my office to check it hasn't burnt down

Fax machine? This is 2020, do you also have a time machine?

Apparently so. We never saw a reason to remove it, I suppose. It’s just sat there for years, snoozing, awaiting its moment.

Has it got a roll of smooth paper in it and then you rip off the bit it's printed out? Just like in a black & white war movie.

Lols, the old thermal paper? No, it’s not quite that old.

You could use it to buy Premiership footballers - quite a few available soon and the fax will come in handy. Or lend it to Raul

Strangely I found a lot of German hotels still love a good faxing.

Everyone has one (4 in 1 printers) but doesn't realise it or bother setting it up. Christ I'm boring myself..

Oh yes - we have those but we actually have a machine that is just a fax as well. Or we did until recently. I think it might be working from home

ah, fax machines used to buy footballers HAVE to not work properly, la. One needs an excuse for an extension before the transfer windows slams shut, of course. SC's appears to be in fine working order.

I assume you were referring, satirically, to my nose, in which case the joke’s on you since my rebored bugle now functions perfectly.

I'm delighted to hear it. Though probably getting two horsies and developing your sense of smell back might be unfortunate

Indeed. It's not the horseshít that smells, it's more the horse píss. The area around the cathedral in Seville has hundreds of these carriage rides and the magnificence of the building is very much undercut by the all-powerful reek of horse píss.

Excuse me, I’ll have you know my ponies’ piss does not reek. And anyway, they don’t piss near the house, they do it on the other side of the field. What sort of ponies do you think I have for all love?

I love the warm smell of horses. :cloud9: And hay scented horsebreath! Just beautiful.

I’ve looked into it. They’re surprisingly expensive.

Some pikey went past on one the other day and Barney went mental with excitement. I fear he misses the pikey lifestyle.

Has Barney started eyeing up lead roofs and offering to tarmac your drive?

He’s such a sweetie. He pokes his velvety muzzle into my face for kisses and we blow up each others’ noses :cloud9:

I wish I’d found a pony years ago!

I guess your new-found enthusiasm for horseflesh has meant you've had to change what you're looking for, has it?

[Sir C]

No, we were always looking for something with some land, and isolated because i) cats and ii) I hate people. So,e outbuildings would be nice but we can always build a stable like we have here.
