Ring Ring, Ring Ring.
Hello.

Mr Nut?

Yes, who is speaking?

It is Craig, from the Industrial Workers Office.

What do you want?

Can you tell me where you work?

No! What do you want?

I am ringing from the Industrial Workers Office

Have you ever worked in a factory, manufacturing or engineering?

No!

What did you do?

I refuse to answer that question until you tell me who you are.

I am Craig from the Industrial Workers Office.

I don’t know who you are, and I have nothing more to say to you, bye.

OK fine, but we have some money for you, bang, (line goes dead)

Anyone else had these calls? :laughing:

2

Put somebody else’s mobile number when you fill that field in when you register yourself on a website.

Funnily enough I don’t get cold calls…

3

I get lots of these, if my son is about I put him on to talk to them, he’s only a year old

otherwise I just “mule” them along

4

These cold callers always seem to ring around 6pm-9pm the zbs, I tend to either stay silent or if in a mood cos I’m preoccupied with having tea or on Trucknet just tell em to go 4th & multiply etc, what’s annoying is being ex-directory and they still manage to ring so am very careful about divulging home tel no to anyone.

Slippery bunch this lot Malc :open_mouth:

I wouldn’t want a good man like you to get yourself in any trouble. :open_mouth: :open_mouth:

Just PM me your national insurance number, date of birth, driving licence number and bank details and I’ll sort it out for you, mate :wink:

That is brilliant, my mate tells a great story, he heard the front door bell ring but they normally only use the back door, he looked out and saw what looked like Jehovah Witnesses, we do get several around the god-fearing parts. Thomas Cook was born here, and he was against drink and sins of the flesh.

Anyway he went downstairs and was in the kitchen, when someone knocked on the back door. Rob answered it and invited them in, His wife came downstairs and he told her to lock the door :laughing: Did I mention he was naked :wink:

He has a great interest in the native American and will cause an argument if anyone mentions a Cowboy and Indian western :unamused: He just asked them of their opinions of that and wouldn’t let them get a word in edgeways.

I just so wanted to be there, my friends said, after half an hour they were begging to get out and didn’t even leave any pamphlets.

Jahovah’s do have their good side though.
In my green baggy skin days, one of the neighbours, who kept an eye out on the house while I was away, came home from shopping or whatever and was met with a couple of agitated suited god-botheres in the street.
He called them everything under the sun to get rid of them until they convinced him there was a strong smell of gas coming from the front door across the road.
They (and Transco :slight_smile: ) saved my house from being blown to smitherines!

Yep, several.

Yeah get that at least every month, what about the call from some foreign land saying your pc is corrupt and you could loose everything on it unless you buy whatever they are selling, what crap. My mum had this once when I was visiting and she was just about to get her bank card out luckily I stopped her and amazingly her pc was ok after all . :smiling_imp:
