As If!

I've been off and on here tonight though.
I've been trying on everything I own for a Christmas night out tomorrow. (WORK)
I was just congratulating myself that I had managed to avoid going to any this year, alas a colleague at work asked me to go as nobody would speak to her apart from me. What could I say?
I hate Christmas nights out though, so I'm on the right thread.
You can well imagine how my night is going to be. :emoticon-0106-cryin

In there pal! Just get sloshed. All will be fine. If you don't remember it, you didn't do it! That's the golden rule for xmas (or indeed any) dos.

You may well be right, I'm off work Tuesday as well, plenty time to nurse a hangover.

Oh no!

I totally sympathise, I hate them too. You spend more time with work colleagues than family so i'd rather choose which ones I want to put "overtime" in with. Besides so many careers have been wrecked at these parties. Nothing like getting bladdered for inspiring a career ending honest exchange of views with your boss!

So dress all sorted then? Is it a fancy do?
 
I'm happy with my current internet connection. I have an above average speed and don't really stream very much. I use FTP occasionally for work. I'm more than happy with the price I have for phone line rental, internet, BT Vision and ESPN because 9 months ago I got some great discounts.

Once a month BT has tried to get me to upgrade to Infinity that 'could' give me a fractionally higher speed for an extra £20 per month. I won't ever reach those speeds and would expect the average to equate to what I get now.

I decline everytime.

The letters to upgrade arrive every other week and I bin them.

I state time and again that I don't need a faster connection, I'm happy and please stop the sales calls and postal marketing. If my preferences change and I actually want to stream movies and TV - I'll upgrade.

BT have phoned again and the 'young' twat on the end of the line was refusing to stop the upsell process and questioned why I wouldn't want to pay an additional £240 a year for this new deal.

I told him that £240 could go towards better things that are of more use to me at this time and I wasn't interested but he continued. So I said OK. Let's do this now. Went through the whole process and just as he was asking me the final time that I was happy to proceed I said NO.

When asked how he liked it when his time was wasted he just tried again.

I hung up but look forward to the next call.
 
Next time they call and they start with the usual "and how are you today Mr overseasTOON?" Tell them that you are having a bad day. That your dog (that has been a member of your family for 10 years) has died but you really appreciate their concern. Then spend the next 10 minutes recounting all the happy/funny times that you had with your imaginary dog, remembering to sob regularly (full on crying would be even better).
They are normally gone within a few minutes.

This has now become a regular form of entertainmant in the bh7 household. Amongst other favourite bullshit stories we have to waste telesales time, we have, "I was attacked by a rockweiller this afternoon", "The cat has just yacked up a furball" (with full description and pretend vomiting as I try to clear it up), and my personal favourite "I am suffering from depression and need a sympathetic listener"

Just going on and on and on repeatedly saying that Obertan is crap and should be dropped, that we are going to fall into the bottom half of the table, Mike Ashley is to blame for everything (kind of true but it still gets tiresome), the Chronical bums Mike Ashley. ****ing negativity <grr>
 
I once bought a packet of mini cheddars, average sized packet, and it was 90p.

Outraged.
