Don't hold out on us, did they tell you when it is, as I want to know whether to pay my paper bill or not?:D

Re: Cold calling should be illegal!

He was that dopey I think he might still be stood there.

Ding dong.

Happily mobile, not in bed, and in a good mood.

Re: Cold calling should be illegal!

I don't remember you spitting your dummy out when one of your cronies addressed you in a thread as 'Jim'.

Personally, I'm not that petty. I get Garinda, Gary, Big G, Rindy, Rind, and Jaysay calls...

Re: Cold calling should be illegal!

My movement might be impeded, but there is nothing wrong with my memory.:)

It just struck me as somewhat ironic, the 'self centred' comment, especially as you recently informed us of your...

Although I was angry yesterday, after being woken from a two hour sleep, my first in forty eight hours, and it was physically hard to answer the door, I'm quite compos mentis enough to tell me I'm...

Re: Cold calling should be illegal!

Well I bloomin' well wish they'd do it here too.

There'd be a choice then.

We could then chose if we wanted to read/watch the ads, and decide for ourselves if we needed more information on...

Re: Cold calling should be illegal!

Re: Cold calling should be illegal!

Re: Cold calling should be illegal!

Part of the condition of having Parkinson's Disease is a disturbed sleep pattern. Basically I'm dozey in the day, and wide awake most nights.
