It is expensive but may be the answer if your call problem is life disruptive.

Ya I agree. just depending on how I'm feeling, I can play imaginary fishing, you hook um up let um think they've fooled you, then keep playing um till you've had enough, they're quite gullible really:D but a hundred squidly to get shut is a bit pricey

Oh, I will use that one...and the linux one too.......I usually tell them I don't have a computer,sometimes I tell them I am the Coroners Officer - investigating a suspicious death - they usually make a very sharp exit with that one.

That was very very naughty Michael, not that you strung them along, but that you only had on the hook for ten minutes:D

I do hope you made it clear to them it was only to keep the balance, as they'd been wasting your time. :)

A friend of mine got a phone call to say his computer was faulty. After 10 mins or so on the phone he said " It can't be faulty I haven't unpacked it yet it is still in the box " . End of conversation.
