Cold callers who inform me, about twice a week, that I have been involved in an accident in the last three years, but when questioned are unable to provide me with any details of said accident, which must have been quite traumatic as I seem to have blocked all memories of the event.
Morons that moan all over Facebook or in newspaper letter columns at the start of major sports tournaments about there being nothing but football on, or nothing but tennis on...... I could sympathise in the 80's when there were only 4 or 5 channels......but in this day and age when everyone has hundreds of channels to choose from, plus iplayer and catchup..... These people are either as thick as pig poop or they just get off on moaning for any reason..... Bugger off and watch Corrie on the bloody catchup and shut it!!
I have a lot of those. I recommend having fun with them by taking them through a highly fictional and unlikely tale of woe. I did this culminating in how a silver de Lorean travelling at 88mph appeared from nowhere and cut me up, then vanished again. There was a pause on the line whilst this sank in, then the voice on the other end said,"...and I suppose it was being driven by one of the Chuckle Brothers?" then promptly hung up.
I totally agree on this. The more so called experts bang on about how bad a recession is, or how long the low oil prices will remain, or all the **** that's going to happen because of a Brexit, the more likely these become self-fulfilling prophecies. You can bet your last groat somebody is making a shed load out it, though. Maybe you?
People like me make money on news which makes the markets move, the news itself doesn't matter. We cant make anything on a stagnant market. If it moves up or down its irrelevant, we just need movement. People who think guys like me sit at home moving markets have no concept and people who think banks are able to make markets move are loons, there are way too many large banks around the world. I should know as I was the Chief Commodity Trader of a large Australian and an American bank before retirement.
A colleague of mine was also receiving these calls - I was unaware of his conversation at the time, but overheard him ask them to phone him in back in ten minutes, as he was in the middle of a particularly good ****.....I've not laughed so much in ages, but don't know if I'd have the audacity to repeat that myself!!
Irish Weddings that go on all night.......so that by time you get home to the uk late on Sunday night...you need a holiday to get over the weekend
That is very good an funny too. The last cold caller I had, probably from India, was very polite until I asked if he had heard of the Telephone Preference Service (with whom I am registered) at which point he became a lot less polite and told me 'to to go flock myself'! Another cowardly keyboard warrior.
Beth, Tranmere Ranger or Mr 9's, please close this thread down if it starts going Eastender's, I don't want any thread I started going that way, just intended as some fun until season kick off. In fact could you close this thread the day before our 1st match of the new season please? If anyone thinks that sucks then they can start their own complaining thread if they want to complain about it... Anyway carry on! Peace!
In which 9 out of ten times we mostly complain on, be it the poor formation, performance, effort, selection, defending basically a typical QPR performance! I have often said it goes really quiet on this forum after we win a game, us Brits find it much easier to whinge than wax lyrical, complaining is much more fun!
