There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too.

Default Guess who just rang me?...

Ok don't bother, it's all part of this heart wrenching story...

I just had a phonecall:

"Hi, is this ****** *****?" (name removed to protect my superhero secret identity)
"Yep."
"Oh hi there, how are you? This is TWO magazine, we recently ran a competition you entered for a Kawasaki..."
*wibble!!* calm, calm... breathe...
*nonchalantly* "Oh yeah?"
"Yeah, we're currently doing 5 issues for £3**, would that be of interest to you?..."
"Er... I'm already a susbrcriber..........."
"Oh are you? Right sorry, Thanks for your time, bye." *click*

Bugger.





** May not be actual deal, but I don't really care anymore...

That must be the best call centre job in the world. "Hello, we're just phoning up to tell you you didn't win. LOOO-SER."
