    Devious!

    I had a phone cal today:

    Person: "Hello, I wonder if you could spare 5 minutes to help me with a simple market resea...".

    Me: *thinks: Jesus, not another one. Hang on, she sounds really hot. Hmm.*

    Person: "...rch survey?".

    Me: "Yeah, ok sure..."

    ...

    At the end of the call she had my mobile number and my first name (ok I'm not entirely gullible ).

    These companies are now hiring gorgeous sounding women to survey 20-somethings about their spending habits? It works too.
    I don't live here any more.

    You are obviously a phone-booth business card aficionado.

    They all look exactly like their pictures too.

    Hate to break this to you, but it should have been the other way around.

    They are actually all 20 stone tattoed bikers, they just sound gorgeous because they are using mendhak's special voice changing software.

    It can make anyone sound like anyone else.

    They use it in most movies nowadays.

    She would never have rung me in the first place if I worked for a market research company. That just makes no sense Mend, I expect better from you.

    You should have made verbal threats against the leader of your country of origin.
    Laugh, and the world laughs with you. Cry, and you just water down your vodka.
