    1. You seem to be leading me down a path in which I would be forced to insult ethnic minorities. I didn't realise The Daily Mail had gotten to you.

  2. I think you have been trying to phone those BT help lines again. They are a real inspiration to any blogger wishing to write a automated multiple choice phone based blog post. . . . . . I tend to phone my friend in India, well he tends to phone me, apparently I am entitled to loads of money. The automated multiple choice options never offer me money.

    1. That guy rings me too! He has a really weird machine-like voice and he usually asks me to call him back on a premium rate number. I've rung him back many times but I never get to speak to him.

  3. If I press 7, is that if I have a mummy problem and need Brendan Faser, or if I want to request a mummy for light cursing?
    The hold music you chose was hilarious, good touch.
    If I pound 0, will I eventually get to an operator? That's my general strategy.

    1. If you press 7, a mummy will come round to your house. This is especially handy if you have a toilet-related emergency and need to use its bandages as toilet paper.

    1. And I wish I'd written your Blog. Although it would seem weird for me to run a Blog called Fascist Dyke Motors.
