    'Back in the day' this would bring up a CSH or "call sub. held" alarm in the old style 'step by step' exchange and require manual intervention to release the call and associated equipment. Automatic CSH release capability was created to sort this problem which led to automatic call release after approx. 3 minutes (1970's).

    In those days we used to switch phone over after hours to a paging service.

    So we switched the phone over at the time he used to call,for a few days.

    Never heard from him again


    Until now that is...... "Hello SWMBO, remember me? Long time no speak eh?"

    I'm no spring chicken.

    You'd be surprised how much money I've been offered to hand shape a modern mal (or any other) surfboard while being videoed, because there aren't many people around who can do it these days.

    All old info like the phone stuff is interesting, as is the process that led to it becoming redundant and who decided and why that process was followed. Probably too much info and dimensions for many kids to be bothered with and learn from these days.

    Most of the scammers autodialers seem to be able to detect my old answering machine. As soon as my recorded "hello this is Terry...." starts they hang up.
    Not Nicole though, she seems smarter (or dumber?) than my machine.

    Maybe she’s blonde???

    With all this information that everyone is submitting about Nicole I’m starting to get a bit of a profile going

    Nagging

    Persistent

    Ignorant

    Monotonous

    Repetitive

    Ok Ok Ok

    I think I’ve worked it out

    Definitely not a blonde

    Not Nicole, but I keep getting calls asking me if I know about the solar rebate available to me. These are live humans, not machines. I talked to one a few days ago to try and see if I could convince them to leave me alone - they wanted to send some one out to point out the advantages. Gave up after I told her to make sure that if it looked like rain to ensure they had four wheel drive and pointed out that most of the trip had no phone coverage, and part of the road is not on Google maps.

    You've nearly got it right Gav (assuming you're still with us).

    Nagging

    Ignorant

    Conniving

    Overbearing

    Laxative emulating

    Exhausting


    It's not your missus, it's that annoying little Swedish "How dare you ....... " child
