What an awesome idea...but I feel cheeky. 'Hello....Madame Lash House of Discipline...Have you been a naughty boy?'

We also got a lot of those annoying marketing calls from the centres in India. We got onto the 'Do Not Call Register' and they stopped. However in the last three days, we've had three calls from artsleT (

) asking if we would use their service. I disapprove of ANYBODY calling me unbidden to sell me crap I don't need when I should be playing with my kids or whatever wholesome stuff I do with my time. We're looking into the existence of an ombudsman or somebody who can make 'em stop because I can't help but be rude and nasty to the poor sod who makes the call but isn't actually responsible for their arrogant behaviour. When they ask me in their best 'marketing-ese'; 'What do we have to do to get your business?' I always say; 'Give me a free gold-plated phone that plays Foxy Lady as a ring tone and give me free service for mine, and my kids' lifetimes'. Funnily enough, they won't play ball.

I can't say anymore because I can feel bad language coming on.

I know how you feel Geek. They don't ring me anymore. I was getting calls from India but I knew it was them because there is always a pause before they talk. If I do get anything like that now I just talk over the top of them and say "Herrro... you prace order? You wan' flies wif dat?". They always hang up straight away - well - 100% success rate so far.

Hey... I like that.

Thats a good one Magna.

Cheers,
Dave

Madame Lash.. I like that. Might just use it to vary things.

WR - do you prefer the whips with the little fish hooks or without ?

BeeBee LaRouche is the one to ask for...not that I would ever do that sort of thing!

I learned the best one from the 'Master'. Jerry Seinfeld. Caller rings up and you say;
'I'm sorry, but I'm pretty busy now. Hey, why don't you give me your phone number and I'll call you back when I have more time?'

They invariably refuse and so you say;
'Oh of course...I guess you don't want strangers calling you at home. Now you know how I feel.'

Hang up...genius.
