My wife answered an unknown number this morning, at the third time of ringing.
"Hello, who's calling please"
" **indecipherable mumble** "
"I think you may have the wrong number"
"No, it's the right number. It's the one I was given"
"OK, well who do you want to speak to?"
"Carlos - the dog killer"
"Hello, who's calling please"
" **indecipherable mumble** "
"I think you may have the wrong number"
"No, it's the right number. It's the one I was given"
"OK, well who do you want to speak to?"
"Carlos - the dog killer"


Actually, if anybody does find his number could they pass it on? I could do with his services at the moment - several of the beasts regularly rampage among my veg plot.

That sounds like Carlos Fonseca Jr
You just reminded me of a time when I answered the phone and a female voice said "I'm going to suck you dry" then hung up.
I wondered if that was a wrong number and if so, at what point did she realise.
(it wasn't a call I had paid for

I never get calls like this. What am I doing wrong?

I only get people trying to sell me insurance.

The Irish Village pub here (original one) in Dubai has a shop selling all manner of tat, but also food. You can be boozing in the pub and leave with a sackful of Taytos. Banging crisp.

My Newspaper carried a Bloomberg report yesterday about former British MP (48) Imran Ahmad Khan being sentenced for a 2008 sexual assault.
No that's not the part that made me smile.
The accompanying photograph was of ex Cricketing legend and, until last month, Prime Minister of Pakistan, Imran Khan (69).
I noticed instantly the headline and photo didn't match.

Perhaps I shouldn´t smile because it is to cost families money but I did thinking of when I lived in Devon where you are a Grockle if not born in the county.The Welsh Government want every school pupil to be taught Welsh.Those still wishing to speak English have to find their way to school & the responsibility of the parent to get their child there resulting in extra car costs.Those desiring to speak Welsh get a free school bus ride.I wonder if this trend for keeping languages active will expand all over Britain! My grandchildren live in the Scottish Highlands so maybe I had better get "with the Gaelic" ASAP.And those with 2nd.homes in Cornwall also had better look lively too if wanting to continue friendly chit chat with the locals.
