Recruiting staff at Palace taking January off.

every bloody year!

Alexa. Deaf bitch.

Yes there is a list in the UK but there always seems to be new callers or they find a way around it. I'm on holiday 'down under' at the moment and I am getting at least three mobile calls a night from unsolicited calls (PPI, Claims etc).Cant turn the phone completely off due to various reasons so you still see it light up at 2am very annoying.

For home I imported a call blocker box from the US which tends to work most times and it can block number groups so if you type in 08 it will block any 08xx number calling. Unfortunately they are are now into ' spoofing' local numbers which is really crap but nothing much is ever done about it.

Yes - same here.

Not only using our local area code, but the first 3 prefix numbers so it appears to be a very local number, which it is not.

Saving grace is anyone we know is in the contacts list, so their name shows up. The rest can leave a message if it is important.

The downside is it wakes me up from my naps!

Get the "should I answer" app works brilliantly

Online travel agents not making your flight booking appropriately so you don't get the cheap price you wanted.

Thanks, sadly I'm on Windows phone. It's a great phone but has about four apps available for it (at least useful ones!). I can block numbers but the bar stewards came back last night a few digits past the blocked number :veryangry

Definitely not working/not enforced/load of bollocks.

About 5years ago we had only internet and tv from the cable co. Then they started advertising a triple play (to include a phone line) which included faster internet and more channels than we currently had and was cheaper... We switched to the new package and plugged in a phone. Went through the rather handy online service provided by the cable co to "not list" the phone number in any phone book, include the number in the "do not call" list etc etc.

For the next few days we got countless unsolicited calls.
I just unplugged the phone. Never used it again.

TPS. It has teeth...

It might have teeth but it doesn't work does it?

We get an average of 2 (maybe more) calls per day I reckon from a variety of punters offering solar panels, energy reviews, accident claims, or trying to get into our computer by social engineering. Some just ring with no caller (powerdialler pacing gone wrong). I used to amuse myself by wasting their time but even that is mind numbingly boring nowadays.

In America?

Friends that I didn't know I had calling me and hanging up before I answer- probably expecting me to call them back... from Somalia (00252)

People who post things.

Usually management psychobabble.

On LinkedIn.

Using very short sentences.

With a space in between each sentence.

And think that by doing so.

It makes whatever crap they are spouting seem more.

Profound.

To be fair, and I can't believe I'm saying this, it reads as though their was a breakdown in the Do not call list system. The companies auto dialer system would have not called the numbers if the Do Not Call register had been functioning. Also the number of calls (1,475,969) in 90 days is staggering! In an 8 hour day that is 34 calls a minute.

The woman who works in another office who....
Swans into our office like she owns it
Sits on people's chairs even though they've only just popped ou
Nicks our sweets and makes lame jokes.
Dresses like a Mexican bandit minus the hat.

Nicks our sweets :D

A Police car parked on double yellow lines on side road by South Croydon bus station preventing the buses accessing the entrance to the station while both policemen stand waiting for their kebabs in the babby on the corner. C*nts.

Is she fit though

Nope!

Does she have one of those long moustaches ?

Turned you down then did she.

Erm, whats the old saying?..... If I was the last man on Earth and she was the last woman!....

People continually knocking loudly on their friends hotel room doors.

So she did. :p

I find it annoying when you treat on a wobbly paving slab and a bit squirt of mucky water goes right up the inside of your trouser leg.

Or the bastards who drive through avoidable puddles while passing pedestrians.

Spending 2 hrs this morning cleaning the motorbike knowing full well as soon as i get to site tomorrow it will be as bad as before,feckin shit weather:veryangry

Blokes with earrings .... cringe

Transposition of formulas

Blokes with nose rings .... Double cringe (Sorry Tupac).

Constantly cleaning up dead leaves when we don't have a single tree on our property.

Good one.

Reading in the paper this morning that the worlds richest 1% control 80% of the worlds wealth and then walking out of Victoria Station to see homeless people.

People who tattoo their heads, necks etc

Breasting half a dozen pheasants yesterday morning for friends and then turning up at the pub without them. :(

So croydon.

Yep, gets on my tits too.

Still Mondays.

Ederson at Man City has the worst.

Quite the fashion now, but not original though. Who remembers blokes with cobweb tattoos on their faces in the 80s:D

Wilf has one too on his neck.

Getting an email from (allegedly) HMRC saying I am entitled to a refund of £248 and not knowing if it’s a scam or not.

Of course it’s a scam. :supergrin:

As Blind says, it is indeed a scam. The shocking English in the email, e.g. "please wait until deadline before writing us about it." gives is away. Yes, I got one as well.

[emoji2] Oh yes.

If you have a Government Gateway ID, log in to your account and see if there is anything there. Don't click any links in emails.

Yes I did that too and it said what I was paying was about right.

Well there's your answer ;)

Wanting to ask a question on the BBS but knowing you'll be judged for it, so not bothering :D

:vader:

I'll be gentle.

Ah man, that's literally the opposite of what I was going to ask you to be.

:D

It can´t be worse than "Packed Lunchgate"

I had Lamb Tagine today. You?

Lasagne

Usually called Spider..

Total scam and if you read them closely they often have some kind of spelling mistake in them

:hmph: when channel hopping its always the ads.

Another thing to also look at is the email address. If it's a scam is not the same as one that would be genuine and a scam would not have HMRC in it. It would be something like @gmail.com or any random letters put together.

I got one from HCRM

Liverpool

I am not sure that was a question. The very sadness of grown men with tupperware was a statement of fact. Then I found I had opened a nest of.....
nerds comparing lunch boxes.

Although I will admit putrified leftovers due to tend to taste better as the juices work their magic over time.

Palace “fans” calling Roy “Woy”. Grow up dickheads.

They surely do synchronise them all together.

:D Aah Yes

- Roald Dahls " Tales Of The Totally Bleedin' Obvious".

When buying jeans (or any trousers I suppose) the 2 inch increments in leg length don’t work. In my case 34 is too long, 32 is too short.

I must be shrinking, because 34 used to be good.

Constant moaning from neighbours about the leaves from my trees going into their property. ;)

They've cut down all their trees to expand their homes and complain about the 100 year old trees I have kept as a home for the birds, butterflies and anything else that takes a fancy to living in them.

Do they not realise that cutting down all their trees increases the winds hitting my trees?

You selfish bastard. How are they supposed to keep their home neat and tidy with people like you about? Not to mention the bugs and bird shit you are encouraging. The very least you can do is arrange for your trees to be sprayed with agent orange to prevent the problem in the future.

:S:

I might be wrong on this. But you kicked the sleeping dog.

I think you can take back the emoji.

You never learn. Keep having a pop, and I will naturally respond.

Game, Set and Match.

:S:

:p

Local shop doesn't stock agent orange or the neighbours would have used it already. :)

W.C. Fields was , supposedly, out in his garden shooting birds one day, when a neighbour remonstrated with him he replied that he'd stop shooting them when the bastards learnt to shit green.

I am currently very annoyed a having to read about mercenary Sanchez everytime I pick up a newspaper. Was disgraceful that BBC news featured him before the great Jimmy Armfield last night.
The wankers have indeed signed a true wanker. They deserve each other.

When I was a child there used to be a group of blokes who lived on the same estate as myself who were very much into the National Front stuff.....among other tattoos they had swastikas or NF on their foreheads (not small ones but huge great things) and one even had "cut along the dotted line -------" across his neck. I'm guessing that (if they are still alive) they must be in their 70's by now, but when people talk about tattoos I think about them and wonder how they must have got on in life finding jobs, trying to avoid people taking them up on their 'neck instructions' etc.

People calling Sanchez a mercenary when most of them would have a wet dream over that salary

Things that annoy you
 

Men in the street wearing f—king Ugg boots with skinny jeans. FFS!!!

Why not go the whole hog and put a pair of chicken fillets down your top too ffs!

Anyone care to admit on here they wear Ugg boots?

If you had his salary you would NEVER have a wet dream.

People who walk without swinging their arms

People who mispronounce pronunciation.

Damo's "joke" about never having had a "big contract". The arsehole earns more in a week than most earn in a year ffs.

It was just a joke.

It wasn't funny

It was funny.

Mate, I don’t think you’re in a position to judge what is and isn’t funny.

Ripped kneecap jeans wankers also and in skinny is even worse, and what is it with skinny jeans I've seen more leg in a sparrows nest then some peoples, why would you want to show that shit off.
And also with some how do you get that shit off? goose fat, washing up liqued?

Mate, I am.

It was funnier than Father Ted.

I tried some of those skinny jeans on when I came back for the cup final. I couldn't get them past my wrist.

Jokes are funny, this wasn't. It was crass at a time when many are feeling the economic squeeze.

What you mean “earns”?

While on the subject of fashion (maybe we need to consult Jordan Mutch) I find the wearing of jackets that appear to be a couple of sizes too small rather odd.

I don't know why but it makes me think of the old black and white charlie Chaplin movies.

Lack of Happy Birthday threads.

These are hard times, but happy birthday to Crate and CPFC2000.









And you.

Do you live in Royston Vasey ?

Wish I hadn't bothered.
