I had a phone conversation today with a very nice chap. This is how it went:

"Hello sir, how are you today?"

"I'm very well, thank you for asking. And how are you? And more to the point, WHO are you?"

"Sir, my name is Mike, and I'm calling you from Microsoft"

"Mike from Microsoft, eh?

" Yes, sir - MICROSOFT, the computer company. I'm calling to tell you that we have found a problem with your computer and -"

"REALLY?? Well, that's quite concerning......"

"Yes sir, it can become very serious indeed, but thankfully I will be able to fix it for you. Now, if you -”

"No, I meant it's very concerning because you see I don't HAVE a computer"

"You don't?"

"I don't"

"Ahh, it must be a problem on your laptop sir"

"Don't have one"

"Ipad?"

"Nope"

"Tablet?"

"Nope, I have none of those things. As a matter of fact, I don't even have a telephone"

After a few seconds of silence he said "Ah sir, you are lying to me now!"

I said "Well, you started it!!" and put the phone down.

Happy New Year, Paul and Sue. Thank you for all your 'Chuckles' they always cheer me up and bring a smile to my face and even a little laugh out loud sometimes (many times).

All the best Andrew

Many thanks Paul and Sue, and a Happy New Year. A bit of levity always helps and I laughed at your microsoft story. I can't tell you how many Microsoft "employees" have phoned us over the years. I've hung up but also played along until they realise I'm just playing with them. Keep up the chuckles through 2024, goodness knows we need them.
