im an evil cuntthat when not dicking about in the office which is populated by almost all the people he ever went to college with gets to call you up and say "excuse me sir, can i ask you some quetions while your food goes cold?"
my most memorable questions have been "are you afraid of flying? shortly after sept 11th aswell as "do you think you will get anthrax?" around the same time and more recently "what do you think englands chances are in the world cup?" (often greeted with a "HAH!")
but i only have to do that last bit when the system decides to a) work and b) connect me to someone who actually answers the phone
its great

bt's first thing to do was to get on the list. eventually the calls stopped... odd it was

I'm on that listand about a month ago I got a call from CR Smith double glazing. I politely informed the caller that I had got double glazing and that I was on the exclusion list. To which he replied "well, fuck off then".
I found it quite intimidating actually.
