h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Yep, Abi'll take some beating!

I used to enjoy the camaraderie of my fellow workers in my call centre days - if you'd just had a particularly nasty person on the phone, it was so good to be able to let off steam with the person sitting beside you!

I used to like that too in our small 'call centre' type thing where I worked; If we got a 'screamer' as we refered to them (people who hurl abuse swearing etc down phone when thye realise your a window salseman), we'd pass the number round the room and all give them a ring at five min intervials

Oooh, that's really evil!

Yep, no kidding; as if being a window sales doobry wasn't bad enough we went and did that Though I do have to say I'm very 'curt' with salesmen ringing me up nowdays, I don't ever resort to swearing....
No thanks not interested;
*hangs up*
Seems to do the trick

I like being called by conservatory salesmen; I let them do their spiel, and get as far into it as possible before giving them my address for their salesman to call at: 1st floor flat, 10 Nighthoover Street...

called one guy when working for the company, went through my speal, he was 'yes, oh thats so interesting, I'm relaly interested, I'd love to have all my windows replaced'... He relaly* was interested, till the point where he asked 'of course it will be a bit awkward won't it, this being a grade one listed building en all, i'd luv to have them replaced, but can't' had a good laugh with him actually wanta replace mys windows at the moment but he council are being so stupid on giving perrmision as its a lease hold properly

"Yep, Abi'll take some beating!"

I wish someone had told me that before I only had three days left in the office...

< You'l be missed on H2G2; but I get the feeling that your contributions to the site won't deminish and might increase as a result of your finishing 'work' for the Beeb

Mina, you shouldn't say things like that with the likes of Mr 2legs around....

"Yep, Abi'll take some beating!"
