Random Irritations

[Sid Rixon IV]

We have a call blocking option on our landline through Sky so it only accepts numbers we recognise. However, if somebody else calls and wants to speak to us, they are put on hold and we can decide whether to accept the call or not. It works really well and we get no cold calls.
For my mobile, it detects potential spam calls and I also have Bitdefender Mobile Security which also blocks a lot of spam calls.

I have one and it killed off all spam callers.
But I miss the days of the sport of engaging them for ages with my wife shouting in the background "Leave them alone, they're just trying to earn a living!"
"I understand you were recently involved in a motoring accident"
Yes, two years ago, I was fatally injured".
And she carried on.
Oh, game on!

To those who think they are being clever by engaging with the spam callers, technology is now being used to record your voice and then use this to generate an exact copy of you speaking. This new voice is then used on your family to con them out of money. Much better to say nothing and hang up instantly.

Not working today, decent weather, but it’s ladies day, so decided to go trout fishing at a place I’m a member at.

Left home at 7:25, it’s a 45 minute drive, except it took me an hour to get out of Aylesbury..even had to pop into Chez @Imurg for a widdle.

In total it took me 2 hours 15 minutes to get there, logged in on the system and started fishing
It was extremely uneventful to the point of nothing happening at all, at 11:30 I got a call from the owner who saw that I was logged on to say that they haven’t stocked the lakes in 2 weeks as they are doing some algae treatment.
No mention of it on the website

So basically a wasted morning then

The one that doesn’t like his parents but still uses the surname to get/keep himself relevant

But, that’s HIS surname!

Where Imurgs Gaff

No, the fish club.

Terrys chocolate oranges. There now rammel. The best bit was smashing it on the worktop to get to the middle bit which was the best bit. Now there’s no middles. Scandalous.

 

[KenL]

Yes, seems like overly sweet oily chocolate with not much chocolate now.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

No, the fish club.

There isn’t a bar there, but plenty of water
