The Doctor Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I kept them going for 8 minutes yesterday, I asked them where they're based and was told 124 Baker Street (which is a KFC, thanks Google streetview ) so I ended up telling the girl about Gerry Rafferty and playing the sax solo down the phone to her. She hung up on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 I had a call like this the other week. I kept him on the phone for nearly 20 mins basically just ripping the pish out him, before he hung up on me. :-) I was at a loose end! P.S. the boy was so thick that he said that microsoft privided the hardware and his company done the software. Strangley he couldn't give me an answer when I asked why they weren't called microhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boof Posted June 15, 2011 Share Posted June 15, 2011 Had one a wee while ago 'Derek Williams' I think he said his name was... Made on I was doing as he was requesting i.e. log on to a certain website...blah blah... Then came the fun bit... 'Do you see an image of a beautiful lady holding a clipboard' (I was WTF???) 'Errr, no...not quite yet' 'Are you not seeing a beautiful lady - like your partner?' 'She doesn't look like my partner' 'Ha ha - no sir. I mean your partner is maybe more beautiful' 'Have you seen my partner?' 'No, no sir. I mean do you see the beautiful lady' 'She doesn't look anything like my wife' etc for a while until I got fed up and laid the handset down for a wee whle then got one of those 'AAAAA-ROOOO-GAAHHHH' old-fashioned car horns and blasted it down the phone and hung up. After a while he phoned back and asked why I'd hung up in him... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
