It's annoying it has to be there, but we just unplugged the phone in the end.
It was a good trick to give the phone to a toddler to let them talk to whoever it was.
Although if that's what you want to do with your evenings
I only have the landline for internet, nobody else has the number, so I can enjoy answering it in many varied and interesting ways whenever it rings!

When we first moved in my wife was too polite to tell the Jehovas to piss off. They ended up getting her name and would drive especially to knock on the door to ask for her and how my daughter was etc.
Polite people and all that but very random, must be soul destroying.
I had Jehovas knock once when I had very severe toothache. One of them worked at Boots and recommended Nurofen, it worked a treat!
Only from Paracetamol to Nurofen!Was that you converted?
I hate when people go into the bakery section of a supermarket where they have loose rolls and bread and cakes etc. and people just go in and start poking at the produce and picking cakes and rolls up with their hands and then putting them back again.Why do people need to suck their fingers after eating like they are trying to get a golfball through a hose pipe?
Parliamentary Committee Enquiries
e.g.
Committee: "Hey Carillion bosses, you've been very naughty and irresponsible, causing misery and financial loss to thousands, whilst pocketing millions yourselves - HAVEN'T YOU!?""
Bosses "Silence"
Committee: "OK, well consider yourselves told off!"
Bosses (to themselves) "fuck, that was easy - I thought we'd at least get a detention. Who's for a round of golf?"
You've got to admire the gall of a boss who has written into his contract that he still gets his bonus even if the firm goes bust!Very easy to appear contrite with their massive pensions and other 'rewards' they've awarded themselves over the years.
There was a story in the news a while back that someone had caught a car thief in the act, chased him, caught and detained him and then the police didn't turn up for hours.The amount of thefts/attempted thefts both car & house taking place at the minute, on local Facebook groups every day somebodies car is nicked and houses being broken into or attempted. I’m very security conscious but it just seems like a matter of time!

Use of private security firms is increasing. We've heading to a society where you only get an acceptable standard of policing if you can afford to pay for it. I live in Finham and its been suggested here by the police, via the local neighbourhood watch, that members of the public group together and go on patrol. That seems a recipe for disaster to me.
Accidentally putting the audio description on the telly, and not remembering how to turn it off.
Amusing to begin with, annoying twenty minutes after it started!
Thank you my friend. Will ring tomorrow while you're having your tea with details of your free giftI think he posts on here.
Decent chap !!
Don't think I have ever been called 'cocker' or 'gent,' but definitely been subjected to all the others.People who can't stick to the simple "Mate" usage and need to keep changing it each time "pal, fella, gent, matey, cocker".
I refuse to believe this!Don't think I have ever been called 'cocker'
Isn't an old thing from 40 or 50 years ago?I refuse to believe this!
I Try and stick to chap or occassionally fella ,usually stick decent in front.People who can't stick to the simple "Mate" usage and need to keep changing it each time "pal, fella, gent, matey, cocker".
Yeah, get the label 'chap' a lot.I Try and stick to chap or occassionally fella ,usually stick decent in front.

Maybe they miss off the 'er' when they call you it...?Isn't an old thing from 40 or 50 years ago?
Don't think I have heard anyone call anyone else it either, well apart from my friend Jarvis of course.
We must mix in different circles. Either that, or you mix and I don't.
Think I've had more cocks in my face than had someone call me cock to my face to be honest.Maybe they miss off the 'er' when they call you it...?
Nothing wrong with that at all. Better than some inarticulate oaf calling you mate twice in a sentence.People who can't stick to the simple "Mate" usage and need to keep changing it each time "pal, fella, gent, matey, cocker".
It's M8People who can't stick to the simple "Mate" usage and need to keep changing it each time "pal, fella, gent, matey, cocker".
I've probably done this one in the past but fake disabled people.
