Be Excellent To Each Other

Whenever I get a cold call, whoever they ask for, I tell them they're dead.

If it's research, ask them if they are MRS accredited (if they're not, they can't call it market research), ask them if there's an incentive, then ask them to send you the incentive, which they have to do without you having to answer any more questions (except for reasonable ones they need to know to get the incentive to you).

After reading the forum this week I imagine 87% of BeeXers would cry.

I do remember very creatively telling an indian cold caller to fuck off, and the guy kept calling back. No amount of abuse was putting him off. Then I told him the person he was after was dead, and he apologised, hung up, and didn't call back. Odd.

Christ - you killed your flatmate to stop a cold caller? You are pure evil.

Feel tired. The girl in the bar was called Kate and she 'didn't want to go home' so I fucked off and left her drinking alone. She had a lovely arse, mind you.

I am knackered...

Too many miles in too few days. I was in Plymouth yesterday and now Reading/Swindon Today.

Miffed I was not able to play Mafia, as no phone/it access on customer sites..

Big Yay. George enjoyed his 3rd Birthday party on Tuesday. 3 years that has gone quick.

A friend has asked me to be a trustee of the charity they are setting up. Could be, um, interesting.

It's not the Oxfordshire Home for Wayward Underage Nymphomaniacs, is it?

Sadly not, no. involves conservation and animals.

With his reputation?

Ah, an undercover role!

I must be missing something.

L-Lol...



As if it wasn't bad enough that he was three times over the drink drive limit, had no licence or insurance, had cocaine in his system, smashed up a bunch of parked cars.... he was presumably also bashing one out at the time too, before being so rudely interrupted by the impact??

Hey, if he was on the vinegar stroke, perhaps the cops should check that the car's windows aren't blown out from the inside. What a guy...

Dr Doolittle?

Not heard from Zio for a while... Did he get that job?

Had a text from RoyalMail: your package has been delivered. Ace.
Two hours later, another text: We have received your parcel back at the depot, and will attempt redelivery.

System must be playing up, as package is confirmed as being in the house.

I got a package this morning that the postie had forgotten to take the Signed For barcode from. I won't bother claiming it never turned up though.

That was a lot of curry I just ate. Handi Chicken, lamb something or other, chicken korma, pilau rice naan bread. Followed by some lovely chocolate pudding thing. Then ice cream. before all that, I had two kebabs, and a popadom. £7.95. Get in.

I've spent the afternoon teching student drama performances. Yay! A fit girl in her pants! Nay! A PETA video showing the worst slaughterhouse abuse I have ever seen. Yay! A cute doggy! Nay! Simulated forcefeeding.

All told, an interesting afternoon.

You're twisted.

Your quote button is as accurate as a Boro striker

Belated Maladay.

I celebrated by sending his girlfriend a topless pic of me.

I didn't know it was his birthday!

I had four parcels today. I might need to ban myself from Ebay for a bit...

How much did you get the rockband and keyboard for?

£36.99 including delivery from an Ebay seller. I was going to get just the keyboard from this seller for £28.99 but figured I'd get both and sell/trade the game on.

EDIT - there's another with both here

My word! We need a loot thread.

Yeah. Can't wait to see you all posting youtube videos of unboxing your new washing machines. Magic.

Exactly! I'll get to work on it right away!

How many of those Dreamcast boxes are broken? My guess is all of them.

I've been quite lucky with Dreamcast games of late.. they've generally been in very good condition. But in this case, you're right - all broken!

MOST IMPORTANT:

What was the name of that film from last year where that scottish guy was killing monsters with his flintlock pistols and swords?

Solomon Kane! mystery solved. And by "last year" i obviously meant 2009. My flux capacitor is broken.

Disappointed it wasn't actually about a new washing machine, but excellent nonetheless!

Someone's just turned up with two trays of pies. They look and smell lovely.

EDIT: Vegetable samosas, prok pies, minced beef pies, sausage rolls, savoury rolls, and a couple of quiches.

On my way!

Our SharePoint based breakfast ordering system is broken. Civility within the office rapidly collapsing.

The samosa was a goods tart to opne up my daily pie account with. The sausage roll was decent, the pastry didn't get in the way of the filling. I think a beef pie is next, and it isn't even 10am. Possibly the best day of the year?

One please.

We get free pies / rolls / scones at 10 (RIGHT NOW) on a Friday, but now I want samosas..

Breakfast ordering system was fixed. (Attacks sausage and egg butty.)

One of the girls in our personal tax department has a friend who runs a curry house in the Peckham area. As a tax department, the partners and managers don't buy birthday cakes, they put a standard order in for 150 samosas between approx 20 tax staff on average. They last until lunch.

SHUT UP!

I want free samosas.

My boss is out. His boss is out. It's dress down day so I came to work in jeans, trainers, a t-shirt and a hoodie. I'm going for leaving drinks after work and have a pass to stay out.

Friday looking gooooood!

I left £50 sitting in a self-service checkout machine today, and didn't realise until hours later. Thankfully, all I needed to get it back was my receipt!
