Oh Dear (tm) I have a virus!

[northernladuk]

Bet you got the virus from CUK, its riddled at the moment with nasties.

Getting rid of the viri on CUK still won't change that

Me- you did, you said this was Just a courtesy call to thank me for remaining with British Gas and then you tried your sales pitch on me. I donm't like being lied to and I'm hanging up now and may even switch my account to SWALEC

Did that with double glazing / insulation types many years ago, when I'd just bought my first house and was too broke to go out much.

Knock at door.
Me: What are you selling?
Them: Nothing sir, we are doing a marketing survey

... eventually they got around to selling and I'd order them out of the house.

I loved wasting their time. In fact I thought of it as a community service

Just had a call from British Gas earlier

I strung one along for just over half an hour before he accused me of being a 'time waster'.

[oscarose]

I’ve had these fooking useless bobs cold calling too. A few minutes into each call, the ***** keep hanging up too. Terrible manners.

They haven't called me since our discussion of raw meat: http://forums.contractoruk.com/gener...ung-up-me.html

Its what fart machines & rape alarms were designed for.

According to Vejay from the Windows Operating System Company.

Every frickin week I get a call from these muppets. I used to string them along but now I just use it as an excuse to vent.

Today I challenged Vejay to tell me my Global IP address (since that's how he said he knew it was me) or admit that he was a c*ck gobbling thunder *****.

He hung up. How rude.

I'll discuss this with the team in this mornings call. Veejay said he was very upset and couldn't understand why you'd want to keep the virus.

My mum gets these calls on a regular basis, i have told her to just put the phone down cos she is wasting her breath, she says the same thing every time " I have no computer"

I have never had one of these calls i would love to spend a couple of hours winding them up

Probably because he checked your IP address and realised it was the secure unit at Broadmoor
