... especially if you spoke with a man who says his name is Peggy.

Funny thing is, the first person had an accent, but spoke excellent English, whereas the second person, named Pam, was barely understandable :confused:

There is always some truth in fiction.

I swear I think that's how customer services are run in some companies over here! I was once on the phone to Eircom - Ireland's main telecom service - and after 40 minutes of being passed from menu to automated menu to Bangladesh and back again.. I finally got to speak to an Irish girl who put me on hold and promptly hung up on me... Needless to say I no longer avail of their services..

I'm thinking of sacrificing some of Dead Link Removed things...

Dead Link Removed

How in heavens name did you find that??

 

[flatulent1]

How in heavens name did you find that??

Entirely by accident, I swear. Why, did you want me to box some up and send them along with those Lucky Charms I promised you?

Ooh yes please..
Well it is Christmas after all...

And in other news...

A superbug named C-diff is on the rise, a germ that so ravages some people's intestines that repeated tries of the strongest, most expensive antibiotic can't conquer their disabling diarrhea.

Now a small but growing number of doctors are trying a last-ditch treatment: Using good bacteria to fight off the bad by transplanting stool from a healthy person into the sick person's colon.

Man, I'm finding all the good ones today. Can I get disability payments from Social Security for that?

 

[lmn]

That's perfect, Fred!

So in other words if you can't take your s**t then try someone else's s**t instead?
Oh and ew..

There is a german phone company named Arcor (also known as "Arrrgggghhor!!"), it's quite similar.

People say that hinduism can be proven by calling Arcor's customer service and waiting forever because it takes at least four complete rebirths until you speak to a human being.

Needless to say that the incompetent dork that picks up the phone in the end can't help you because he was reborn as a sloth, platypus or Hasselhoff.

It's probably a painful therapy: the doctor beats the shit into someone.

Maybe some of you can visit the local post office and tell them we are all catholics and some friends know how to interrogate them to find out where our cameras are:

What about sending the Spanish Inquisition?

Probably we need a combination. And an interpreter if they don't speak spanish...

 

[Steve Smith]

From what I remember of that TV documentary (by Monty Python) they speak English with a Spanish accent.

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

The postmen in our town [Bridport, West Dorset] seem to have decided to wear shorts no matter how cold the weather...though the really hardcore people live in the northeast ye knaa like!

A former UPS employee?

The latest fashion trend for postmen:

Come as you are.​

Whenever it gets restarted, I'm in.

With respect to wearing shorts in the winter, I've done that for the past 10 years. I'm warmer in'em than I am in long trousers, as long as I've got heavy socks on. Same with kilts. They're a lot warmer, and actually warmer than shorts, since heat rises. So, I'm never freezing my rear end off.

...or other bits? ;-)

I was gonna say, it's not my rear end I'd be concerned about freezing "off"...

 

[Black Dog]

Snoods are big this winter, apparently lol..

I'll never know because real Irishmen don't wear kilts.
