Did PayPal increase your limit or is that what you got when you applied for it? When I rang to increase my credit they told me that they wouldn't be able to do any bodies in the uk until end of year

Are you sure you were speaking to Paypal and not an extremely busy undertaker?

I tend to ask the PC guy how much he knows about Algol 60 - stops them dead.

Blimey, you're going back even further than me, Algol 68 was one of the first languages that I used.

Other than just saying 'hello' when I answer the phone, any calls I receive like those mentioned aqbove and I speak in Welsh (my 'mother' tongue). It confuses the hell out of them and they hang up!

JP, I also speak "Welsh" to cold callers. The only difference is I've never spoken Welsh before. But it's equally as effective.

"Do you have a computer?" or "Is your computer on?" - second one is usually from the more intelligent scammers.

I would say "Yes, I have one," to the first question "would you like to buy it? I build them."

To the second I just laugh maniacally and say "They won't let me have one here!"

I actually answered the last caller when my wife passed me the phone. He hung up.
