microdave Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Worst thing about this story is he's on PAYG. And uses a landline! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fullerene Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 Obviously very frustrating for any would-be kidnapper. You think you have it all thought out but the first time you call them they already know your shoe size 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it the number you’ve given the council tax, utility companies etc? You should get a bag of mobiles you use for various different enterprises IMO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ICTChris Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I phoned my local police station with my usual weekly list of offensive posts on pie and Bovril and desk sergeant said “not you again!”It’s truly like 1984 come to life. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can't buy a packet of Hubba Bubba without Farquhar Blatherington-Smythe knowing about it.

Jason "My Name is Earl" Lee is excellent in his small role in this film. Oops. Not sure that it what you were on about here. Oh and Gene Hackman was excellent too! Oops. Also thought Will Smith was good and Tom Sizemore as well. Oh dear. Anyway. Back to the thread .. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Incredibly realistic too, like when they use a shop’s private CCTV and spin the image round 180 degrees somehow and discern someone dropped something into Will Smith’s bag or something.

tamthebam Posted June 2, 2020 Share Posted June 2, 2020 I wonder how much Div gets for flogging our details to the polis/the security services/Kim Jong Un for blackmail purposes.. I think someone who worked for them told me the ambulance service have caller details on a database for use in emergency. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead of taking an off the shelf app from nosey fuckers we already know about and submit to, like Apple and Google, we build our own Heath Robinson version that doesn't seem to work and hand over the data security to creepy fuckers by their association with Cummings, including his sister. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJ2 Posted June 3, 2020 Share Posted June 3, 2020 Surely you need a land-line for the internet? You need a phone line, but have a phone plugged in to receive nuisance calls on? f**k that. If anyone needs to contact me, they’ll try my mobile - I don’t know my house number so I’ve certainly never given it to anyone 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been in this house 4 years and no idea what the landline number is and it has never rung once since we moved in. -1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
