    Nice, can I have some?
    Since when has the world of computer software design been about what people want? This is a simple question of evolution. The day is quickly coming when every knee will bow down to a silicon fist, and you will all beg your binary gods for mercy.

    Did you not think to ask them?

    I've been receiving PMs asking me for sechs or to go for dates. Is this usual on MSE?


    I didn't have the chance :eek:

    It was a foreign sounding gent,I was a bit suspicious at first, but then he said he was calling from Vanquis, they caught me off guard, as I was at work at the time.

    Just confirmed by income, contact numbers, how long i'd been in employment, and then said thank you, and ended the call :confused:

    Well done.

    I work for 'em ;)

    Which plan are you on?, and which handset did you go for?

    You did well, as Orange are one of the strictest networks credit checking wise.

    Just to pick your brains.

    I upgraded my handset in December and got a C905 and am on the Dolphin 30 package for £25pm. How soon will I be able to downgrade my package? I only use about 150 mins a month but send near 1000 texts

    apropos of nothing - just watching the very first hand jive on blockbusters. Ah the innocence of youth!:D
