benny hill eh andy and ya tell the kids of today and they dont understand

Cor I wouldn't you just like to shove one of those Aunt Bessie's somewhere unpleasant for them?! Actually that would be a waste of an Aunt Bessie but then I can't eat them anyway as I'm gluten intolerant! My favourite is the ad where the person says they just have to rescue something on the stove - will be back shortly - and then goes off and has a lovely soak in a bubble bath knowing that they are stuck on hold if there's a connection. I don't think phones work like that or I'd do same thing like a shot! TTx
my phone is answered to hello this is the morgue you kill them we chill them or buddy the elf what is your favorite colour soon stops the calls not had 1 for weeks
I know of a pensioner that let them ramble on about fitting a conservatory for over an hour and made an appointment for them to visit. On arrival they were stunned, he has the most glorious one at the back of his house. His response, 'well you took up my time, thought I would do the same'.
I have contacted the preferential phone line and got my phone blocked, it stops the u.k. sellers but not the oversees ones, still the calls have decreased somewhat.
ye, my sister got the conservatory people to come and give her a quote, they came that afternoon , to find she lives on the fifth floor skyscraper, well we laughed!!!!!!!
Recovery ok but having a lot of trouble with the neck wound, doc been today not infected but very inflammed with a rash, so got guess what steroid cream lol, plague of my life these steroid everythings!! I think i am just delicate person!!!
I think I was the only mug who actually fancied a bit of that oil!!! Just off to call that helpline number for advice..thanks Andy you're a star
Really! I thought he was just telling us about it, did he try selling the stuff? Oh dear, no wonder his account has been deleted. I didn't buy any thankfully, I'm a bit of a sucker for alternative stuff but I still shop around for the best price
I will have to remember some of these pranks, they have made my day they always ring when you are busy... But my husband does the same when they ring,.... He sit down and chats to them as if he is really interested,.. Getting them to give him a better deal,... even sits there arranging an appointment...., he's had them on the line for at least a hour before, I do feel sorry for them sometimes,
Wishing you are all pain free, but i bet that would be to much to ask for.
I know someone who used to keep a whistle by the phone - it came in handy for both dirty and sales calls. She had to stop using it when police pointed out she would be prosecuted if she blew somebody's ear drum inside out! Also, 2 nights ago my husband dropped a full spice bottle of celery seed onto our tiled kitchen floor. Poor dog is still finding them and spitting them out - is this an omen perhaps! Take care everyone, Virge
I think oil seller has gone Im afraid I reported them didnt like their tone!
Tried to show a friend his "sales pitch" during a rant and saw it had gone. Good on u for getting him off here. We have enough negativity in our life don't need him on here adding to it. Thanks.
Well done Summer! I was appalled at his blatant touting for business and lack of professionalism. I'd be struck of the AOL and CNHC listing if I tried anything like that.
