I had a cold call last night, went something like "we are contacting all home owners in the area" at which point I intervened and said I'm not a home owner, oh sorry, but before she went off I just said you shouldn't be calling me anyway as I'm on the preferred callers list, the reply was very interesting, she said well it doesn't apply to us because we are not selling anything, I just said, that might be, but your still making a bloody nuisance of yourself and your calls are not welcome, nothing I can do about that she replies and hangs up

That's always the last resort, well second to last, last resort is giving them a slap and the last time it almost came to that is before I lived over here and the Police were not very impressed

You harrass me enough by PM when we are both trying to stay awake at 5am waiting for home time.

I think they're readin' this bleedin' thread.

Had four this afternoon.

Even the breathy 'What underwear are you wearing', didn't put them off.

Got another one this aft the call went something like this

Hello Mr Farrer, I believe your having some problems with your computer
Well that's funny, how do you know
we know these things
Oh I'm glad you rang then
are you on your computer now Mr Farrer
No, but I will go on now, (says he still sat in the chair)
are you on line Mr Farrer
Yes I'm on line now
could you type in this site address and we will solve all your problems
okay wait for a minute, the site you've given me is a porn site, with naked women all over the place,
You must have typed in the wrong address
Oh yes my mistake there's a message on the screen now it just says F*** off you annoying little a***hole and don't bother me again
I hang up with a little smile on my face

Although these companies are all based outside of Europe, who's paying them to sell products, or gather information?

If it's a company in anyway connected to the E.U. they should be fined.

They're driving me mad.

One rang back for a full ten minutes, even though the answerphpne was on, because I told him to go away.

The next time someone asks to speak to me I'll say 'Sure, just leave me your home phone number and I'll call you back when you're asleep'.
