Therefore, I'd like one that's on this side of the puddle. I know that there are 4 sitting in storage somewhere in Staffordshire, doing nothing, but the owner will want a phenomenal amount of money for them!!! I nearly bought Sigur Ros' M400 when the Tron Bros gave the Forum first refusal. I inquired as to the price, which was within my means, but I couldn't justify it to my missus. There is one member of this forum who has met my wife, so he would probably agree with that.

No, I've got machines to do both!!! On that subject, a couple of old jokes...

Q - what do you call something you screw on the bed and it does the housework?

A - the wife!!!

A young couple got married and left on their honeymoon. When they got back, the bride immediately called her mother on the telephone.

          "Well," said her mother, "how was the honeymoon?"

          "Oh, mama," she replied, "the honeymoon was wonderful! So romantic..." Suddenly she burst out crying. "But, mama, as soon as we returned, Sam started using the most horrible language - things I'd never heard before! I mean, all these awful 4-letter words! You've got to come and get me and take me home...... PLEASE MAMA!"

          "Sarah, Sarah," her mother said, "calm down! Tell me, what could be so awful? What 4-letter words?"

          "Please don't make me tell you, mama," wept the daughter, "I'm so embarrassed - they're just too awful! COME, GET ME, PLEASE !!!"

          "Darling, baby, you must tell me what has you so upset...Tell your mother these horrible 4-letter words!"

          Still sobbing, the bride said, "Oh, mama...words like: Dust, Wash , Iron, Cook...."
