    Tell them your wife just died.

    You were in the middle of something with your partners

    Do some heavy breathing and ask what colour his underpants are

    Speak in a funny voice.

    The fun can be endless.


    I have a referees whistle which I blow down the phone every so often between inane conversations. I sometimes tell them that I think my microwave oven may have a virus:D. On one occasion, I asked the guy (lionel - is he for real?) if he could pass me over to my old school mate Bill (Gates), because I thought that Vista was really rubbish.;)
    Sometimes though, you have to resort to good old Anglo Saxon, and then they do get a bit annoyed.:eek:
    Good luck.

    Could do with more of these calls being recorded and posted on YouTube.

    I miss out on these calls as I don't have a land line so rely on others sharing their amusing calls.

    We have a competition going on at work to see who can keep them on the phone the longest. :D

    I ended up accusing one of scamming, he didn't like that & told me the call was being recorded!
