you know what
i have never used a fax machine, i don't even believe they exist, i think this is a way of you office types trying to sound important because you have some sort of gadget.

I wish they didn't.
I had two faxes through today despite spending the last couple of months working my arse off getting a web based replacement working and training a couple of thousand staff. Bunch of fucking retards.

we just e-mail and then use the printer as little as possible
save the environment and shit, plus toner is a rip-off.
Do you reckon carrier pigeons are economically viable?
(, Wed 8 Jun 2011, 21:34, archived)
Yes, and probably more secure
since it's difficult to mis-dial a pigeon.

People fax me because email isn't secure. It makes me weep. They could phone IT and have a secure mailbox within about half an hour. BUNCH OF CUNTS.

I really was angry when I got those two faxes today.

stop....count to 10
then go round there tomorrow and force them to eat the faxes. i can' imagine fax is secure? what if you leave the window open and it gets blown out, comically falling in to the hands of the arch-villain lurking below the window listening for secrets?

Faxing is the equivalent of writing your message in foot-high neon letters up the canteen wall.
Security-wise, I mean.

canteen?
the fat proles won't see it there, chained to their meal trays. Back of the bog door while they're dossing off is the way forward.

It's not.
I have personally witnessed a risk manager fax a confidential document to a furniture shop then cover up that it'd happened.

laser quest?

I used to love lazerquest.
Last time I played me and my mates were up against the Leeds Uni Pacifist Society. We clocked the scoreboard.

I bought my dad one as a present when I was on my uni gap year 10 years ago
he was over the moon, yet still it's only recieved 3 faxes in that time.

And all I can do is keep on telling you
I want you
I need you
But there ain't no way I'm ever gonna love you

what a shit present
i mean, what sort of loving son puts so little thought in to a present; unless of course he has some sort of fetish for outmoded communication technology.

up yer bum
1997 / 98 that was. And my mate worked in The Link and gave me a good deal. It was still £200+ on a shitty tesco nightshift wage

i'm not trying to be obtuse
but if he only got 3 faxes i can't imagine it was very well thought out. price does not denote a good gift.
(, Wed 8 Jun 2011, 21:49, archived)
it wasn't outmoded
wasn't long before it was, sure, but it was proper... he just had no one to send him faxes, like he has no one to send him emails now, despite running his own business.
