They are the bane of my working day...I get two or three per day, mainly because my company is at the No. 1 spot on Google for Dubai and the Middle East.

I never go to any conferences - all a waste of time and money - and too shallow.

They always seem to read from a spiel on their computer but I interrupt and ask them which service of my company they are asking for. They usually say they are not interested in any services from my company and that's when I hang up.

By the way, the richest man in Scotland (some GBP 700 million) is a conference organiser - so there must be excess profit in that industry.

Yes, it's designed to weigh on the weak - those who can't stand up for themeselves and say 'I know this stuff, I can read thank you very much', instead it's an opportunity for someone to sit there and have it read parrot fashion to them. From someone who was sent on too many of these things by my old company (morons).

Stupid, lazy people who don't write properly. Is it really so hard to punctuate and use capital letters?
