Re: Room 101
Maybe we should try hanging the American flag upside down and see if anyone notices or gets upset. I think they're frightfully aggressive when it comes to their flag right?

Re: Room 101
do you honestly think it was done on purpose? Most brits wouldn't even though there was a right way up, let alone some underpaid indian.

Re: Room 101
One of the large international banks here who ring, at least once a week, to ask stupid questions like if I want a loan or to take loads of cash out of a credit card I have with them.
Firstly - the call starts with you being connected to them, a pause, a few random 'hello' from both sides, a brief that you're being recorded and then finally you get to the annoying script.
Secondly - surely they can see whatever goes on this card gets paid off the next day?
Finally - I tell them every time that I'm not interested and ask nicely not to be called about stuff like that anymore.
