In the early 80s a mate of mine was burgled - everything was taken but his top of the range Betamax machine was left on the front lawn.

In the 90's my parents house in craigmore was burgled.

The only thing they stole was a twin pack of whole chickens my mum was defrosting on the sink. Shattered.

 

[edgie]

Were they any good?

Going back to the 70s for this classic jingle...

You guys waste real opportunity....

Do you know how fun it is to ask these guys over and over where is the "any key".. how do i do this and that....I left one bloke on the line for 30mins just waiting there for me to come back....

Its throws me back of trolling on telephones of the 90s

I like to wind these people up.

They call and say that my PC has been sending them alert messages and they need to guide me through a fix.

I ask which PC and they say the one running Windows. I ask which one as I have multiple PCs running Windows. They say the one connected to the internet. I say they are all connected to the internet. They start to show irritation in their voice.

I ask if they can give me the IP address of the PC they are talking about. They say they don't know its IP address. I ask if they can give me the computer name. They say with increasing irritation that they don't know the computer name.

I ask them how is it that they can tell my phone number, which isn't recorded on any of my PCs, from an alert message they received from one of my PCs yet they can't tell me the IP address or computer name of the PC that sent the message. At this point they usually hang up.

I just realised I never saw the second season... the first wasn't exactly Breaking Bad, but it was quite solid. The second m8?...

I've never received one of these calls. I feel like I'm missing out.

Starts with a bang, has a serious lul in the middle where you lose the will to watch, then picks up at the end to be cancelled on a cliffhanger.

Like our 2014 is a Sci fi action series you could say.

Shit, even ****ing Smallville got 10 seasons, and I'm still not sure if it was actually real or not cause I have never heard of someone to actually watch it.

Doing some work on a new CMS for some government tribunals. Came across a record for a "Mr. Bozo"

I almost died.

 

[Grave Danger]

Just had an Indian bloke from a call centre on the phone:

Bozo: Hello Sir I'm from the Windows 10 Technical department

Me: No your not

Bozo: "insert tumbleweed here"..... click

I ask them if they enjoy anal sex.

 

[Schulzenfest]

Carn Tommy, do your own damn research, none of this finger-pointing bullshit. You'll have plenty of free time in a few weeks anyway.
