    telephone preference service is your friend.......

    re the emails. i always use the junk mail/ block sender option instead of just deleting, and it seems to permanently get rid of loads of spam

    TPS doesnt stop the determined ones as they are usually outside the UK
    I get a call a month from the same oriental bird (from differing geographical locations round the UK) saying they have a record of an accident that wasnt my fault then they ask about details. I say I got a head injury then and cant remeber the details very well, so if they could tell me when it was I'll have a chance.... 8/10 times I get cut off and the other two times I get put through to a supervisor who then cuts me off

    I once described a horrific accident to them I said it was awful it was absolute carnage I must have rolled it forty times.
    they then ask what happened and I describe leaving the road and going into the skirting board and they go quiet,then ask what injuries and il say I twisted my ankle putting it back on the track...line goes dead hahahaha
    an angry bloke said to me oh thanks for wasting my time,I said not a problem,thanks for wasting mine.

    Pro tip, anyone using gmail can add a '+' to their email address when signing up to stuff to help identify who's selling your details. So when you sign up to moistboobs.com you can put your email address in as myemail+moistboobs@gmail.com and when you get emails from chickswithdicks.com sent to myemail+moistboobs@gmail.com you know where it came from

    I should have thought of this ages ago. I get several rubbish emails per day from constantly changing sources, despite adjusting my spam filter. I effing hate spam.

    sent from my Nokia 6310i using the keypad
    One day I'll start a build thread. One day...
