Got a nice reply today that made me laugh.

In one of my Counter-ASEM baits (see siggy below for link), I gave my lad a telephone number for him to contact me on. It's an actual telephone number, able to be dialled from anywhere in the UK and always directs to an answering service. However, the lad is having extreme difficulty calling it from his cafe in Nigeria, and has been trying for a few weeks now with no success (I honestly have no idea why, and wonder if it's only available from inside the UK, as I can get through fine).

Anyway, I sent him this paragraph as part of my latest reply:

I wrote:

As for my telephone, that's the only number I have, so if you can't get it to work, then I don't know what you're doing wrong and can't help here, sorry. Other people manage to call it okay, even Mr Bxxxx Wxxxxx from Australia. Perhaps your fingers are too large and you're pressing too many keys at once? I don't know.

And I get this in his reply tonight:

I do dial one number before another, my fingers are not too large, You are funny.

Made me laugh so much!

@ Otterfan, I used to use a UK privacy number from this site:

No lads could get through to it from Africa, I think it was only connectable if calling from within the UK.

That's where he's going wrong. He should be dialing one number after another. Silly boi. Very Happy

Yes, they do have a sense of humour. Here's an exchange between a lad and one of my characters a while back...

@ Rothery86, please don't necro posts that have not been posted in for a while, before your post, the last post was October 13th, please read the forum posting rules/faq and other stickies:

*** 419 EATER FORUM RULES AND F.A.Q. PLEASE READ ***

Please avoid thread necromancy (that is: posting in a thread that has been inactive for several months to bump it back to the top again). Old threads have usually little relevance anymore. Also, members that posted in it may not be around anymore. If you really want to bring up an old discussion again because you have something of value to add, post a new thread and put a link in it to the old thread. That way people do not have to read through all the old posts to see what is new.
