Inland Revenue has instigated a warrant out for my arrest,lol.

[roopower]

You as well? We'll be able to keep each other company.

A new onw at last, fed up of getting my internet cut off!! do you get to speak to a real person?

[naomi24]

Don't worry. I'll send you a cake with a file hidden in it.

[DTCwordfan]

with good reason, I would surmise.....how are you going to excise this?

[waterboatman]

When I get one of those I just lay the phone down, they are paying for the call and the can't use that line until I cut it off.

"Good morning. I am calling from the NHS. The consultant surgeon has reviewed your records and decided that your testicles need to be removed as a matter of urgency. Should you not wish this operation please press 1 now, and have your debit/credit card handy."

Far-fetched? Nothing would surprise me these days.

[zebo]

I'd text you but apparently my internet is going to be lost, must be true, BT said so!

[waterboatman]

[aelmpvw]

[SparklyKid]

Quite funny. Makes a change from tinterweb being cut off.

I got a letter saying I'd won 25 million on a lottery I hadn't entered the other week. I was chuffed to bits because I never normally win anything.

[bobbie22]

It's not new, had it last year. Ignored calls, were on answer machine

[melv16]

I had one this morning. He got the full gamet of my farmyard impressions.

[sevenOP]

Poetic justice ?

[Peter Pedant]

Re wbm 07.33 yesterday.

Perhaps someone is able to say if I am correct.....Only the caller can dis-connect a call.

I’ve had four calls today, all from different phone numbers, and all saying that Visa have a transaction of £600 which they are concerned about (or words to that effect). I am advised to press something but I just rang off. It’s always a recorded message so I know it’s spam. Fortunately I can block all these numbers and have done so.

I had an e-mail advising me that Saddam Hussain's daughter wanted my help in releasing her multi-million pound fortune through my bank account.

I was so chuffed, I mailed my account details right away, fancy someone as famous as Saddam's daughter choosing little ole me to share her money with!!!
