At a gig in Edinburgh a couple of years ago, a large team of us went out for a bit of a beery lunch. Middle aged female PM walks into the bar, reads the sign that says 'FREE W-FI HERE' and asks the barman what 'wi-fi' is and when they start serving it.

True storyOriginally posted by Growernotashower View PostA young guy I work with was just on the phone when the call got cut off and the recorded message came on and said "doo doo doo Please replace the handset, please replace the handset, please replace the handset"
He actually got up and grabbed another handset from another desk and said, "God, this is the 5th handset I've had to replace this year!!!"
What a spanner!
