Yesterday my company had a request from the University of Glasgow to quote for kit & equipment, odd as the number had a Leicester code, the procurement manager was not listed in the staff role and when would a University use a gmail address, one of dozens received daily, common sense required by all at all times.

My favourite are the Indian Energy suppliers offering to save on our energy bills, when they call I simply say I have no energy at all especially to speak to them and hang up!

Aah the old Indian call centre Microsoft routine, like something out of "Life On Mars"

I task anyone to follow my lead.

Place Indian takeaway menu within easy reach of your phone and include menu items in your conversation at random.

Despite going through dozens of items and changing my accent the call continued much to the drunken merriment of my family and friends who were there.

Virus ?

What page is that on ................I have found it............can I have the vegetarian one?

Microsoft ............oh you know Billy Gates then he was on the high street till he got shut down by the health.

Do you deliver ?

Control alt Aloo.

It's my son Damabad looking at girls bhunas on Shaslick sites.

Since he came back from samosa I have had nothing but Chat Puris on my menu.

Katie had the “Microsoft man” on for ages a while back. Played dumb and kept him busy until she eventually said ”perhaps it’s because I’ve got a Linux computer!”.

If it helps anyone, I run an Anti-scam service in my spare time for free. If you just PM me with your bank account details, card numbers, home address, mobile and home numbers and a copy of you passport and driving license I'll add you to my Anti-scam list that's guaranteed to stop crank calls...
