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 but a hundred squidly to get shut is a bit pricey

I don't have a computer, and when I told them, I was sworn at and accused of wasting their time. Mind you, I did string them along for ten minutes before I revealed all!

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

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.

ooh, that is another one I can use
