Quick Question Thread


Recommended Posts

I just ask politely for their company name and address so I can inform the TPS and it stops their calls. You still get the international calls claiming to be Microsoft wanting to cure your computer though.

"Hello sir, this is Microsoft. Do you have a computer?"

"No".

"Okay bye-bye sir."

I was quite surprised that was all it took.

I got one of these a couple of years ago.

I told the guy that because I lived by the river I had a water powered computer but it was playing up a bit.

Took about 5 minutes before he figured I was taking the piss!

Anyone know if the long running roadworks on the Erskine Bridge are likely to cause delays when crossing on a Saturday afternoon?

I'm probably going to be on a tight schedule for getting to St. Mirren Park on Saturday and over the bridge is the way I'll be going.

I got one of those phone calls a few years back from an Asian dude and I was doing my best to be nice to the guy while telling him I wasn't interested. He wasn't taking the hint so I told him to f**k off and hung up the phone. A minute later my phone rang and I answered: "Hello", the reply: "No, YOU f**k off".

Charming.

Does anyone call the cinema, 'the pictures' these days? Never really hear it so much now and cinema sounds much more twattish when spoken for some reason.

Was speaking to someone about this the other day. We came to the conclusion that either is acceptable but saying movie absolutely isn't

Anyone know a quick solution to lockjaw? I usually wake up in the morning and my jaws very stiff but it's lasted all day today and it's pretty irritating.

To reduce the overuse of jaw muscles that may cause the pain, try eating soft food, cutting food into smaller pieces, avoiding sticky or chewy foods, limiting wide yawns and singing.

I bet singing is your nemesis

Has anyone else's Android P&B app stopped working recently?

I noticed it playing up a wee bit on the iPad last week but from that day onwards the one on my phone does nothing but show black when opened.

Maybe sound obvious but try turning your phone off and on. Before I got my current phone I had a samsung of sorts and had to turn it off and on to use the app quite a lot.

Can you swap a train ticket to an earlier time at a cheaper cost than just buying a new ticket?

Probably not, if you bought it online. Although they are pretty good for exchanging tickets if you bought them in error at the station.

I've been in your situation before though, and you can often the sweet-talk whoever's in charge into letting you on the earlier one gratis - especially if the earlier train isn't mobbed.

Right, cheers. I might give it a go.
