Annoying phone calls

[Ken Figenus]

My solar panels have been up 5 years - I STILL get phone calls from people wishing to sell me them.

Sadly I rarely disclose my phone number to anyone now as so many abuse it and sell it on etc. If the form wont send without one use this to generate a real fake number https://fakenumber.org/generator/mobile

Couldnt even try this PH competition - have you see what liberties they may take based on the small print privacy policy, even if you are TPS registered etc? Its a spammers charter. http://competitions.haymarket.com/s3/PHDS-Competit...

Thought I would bump this thread with an update.

It is now 3 months since I changed the home phones to BT Truecall. Not a single nuisance call has got through since. Several have tried and failed tho - I can see them in the phones call list.

I get quite a few of these on my mobile ever since filling in an online Insurance quote from a couple of well known companies. This is what I do.

I never answer incase that tags my number as being owned/ in use.
Take a note of the number and Google it to check it is from some scumbag.
Wait for another call from another number note that number.
Phone first number back from another phone and say you really need to speak to them but now is not a good time.
Ask them to call back the next day and give them one or two of the other scumbag numbers you have noted.
You c***s can all talk to each other!

I think you have got too excited about these calls.

When the phone rings, answer it, when you realise it's a nonsense call, don't speak, just put the phone down and then go and have a nice cup of tea.

I don't like tea. I also prefer not to receive nuisance calls.

I work shifts so most of these calls are during my "night".

Surely now that you've retired you've got nothing better to do anyway? I thought you'd be happy at having someone to talk to... Unless the calls are disturbing you whilst you're making your Bovril?

How rude (I bet you are a cold caller or work in Mc Donald’s, or something like that With a name like that I bet you sell Cillit Bang) – Bang! And the dirt is gone!

Ill have you know that although I am in my 90s I can still pull the chicks and perform every sex act in the Karma Sutra plus some of my own.
The only complaints I have had is that, their worn out and want a lay down in a dark room.
Even manage 3s up but only about an Hour or 2.

My Morris Marina (1.8TC) has been tuned by speedwell to over 85 HP (that’s the power output Mr Barry, obviously you know nothing about cars otherwise you wouldn’t have bought an unreliable German car)on second thoughts its probably your |Nans.
This car regularly laps Goodwood in under 2 minutes and reaches 87 MPH down Lavant.

I can still have a rear up, Got thrown out of the Legion for cheating at Bingo last week.
(Used to be a really well built MD in my time)

As for Bovril Mr smart ar-se, I could drink you under the table any time (Had a whole bottle of amontillado ( that’s strong stuff Mr Barry don’t suppose your allowed in pubs yet are you ) last night, and never spilt a drop down my cardigan).

Huh not’s so cocky now are you Mr Barry?

Any way cold callers are scum and the people who pay their wages should be bought to account if its ok, for their minions to call me at random it must be ok for me to phone them so, that’s what I am going to do.
