    A swift "**** off" and put the phone down usually works for me.

    From experience, this is the one thing that eventually stops them calling.

    I stretched one out to 25 mins or so with a very long startup then mistaking "m" for "n", etc. until they started using the phonetic alphabet. Then, when they said type "m mother" I'd tell them I'd typed "mmother " in the web address they wanted me to type. So they'd go back and say "just type M" and I'd say "OK, I've typed N" and so on and so forth. I did it until they gave up. That very long call was the one that stopped them phoning.

    I told them I'm a semi-retired computer and network engineer [true] so I would be the first to know whether I had a virus on my computer, wouldn't I..?

    And they agreed and I've never heard from them since.

    I deliberately didn't buy a ticket tonight so there would be another rollover and boost my winnings on Friday. So far so good...

    All coming together for my first contributions to the Southend United programme.

    Produced one piece initially, on the history of Bury Football Club - and the guy liked it so much, he gave me a shed-load more work.

    I've had to do

    - Bury factfile
    - Bury preview
    - Bury history
    - League 2 match reports (200 words per game - for both the weekend and midweek fixtures)
    - League 2 general news
    - Interview with the opposition


    All good experience though and if I can keep that up, I'll be chuffed. :)

    We only do Spitfires in Southampton. They have one in the Museum at Hendon.

    What happened to that Spitfire statue that was planned? Was it abandoned?
