Years in which we sold our top scorer for peanuts and p*ssed away our chances of promotion?

 

[BushBlade]

I told them I was a pensioner living in Leeds and with a season ticket not prepared to put any more money into the club (all true), and haven't heard from them since.

Don't be too hard on them, they're just doing a job, and if it helps the Club then let them get on with it without giving them a hard time.

One of my cousin's kids works in a call centre so I'm usually quite polite but I don't like those who call up and say you've been involved in an accident. One phoned me a while ago saying I'd definitely had an accident in the last two years. So I paused for a while and then said 'well I did get caught in a traffic jam and had to piss myself'.

I feel sorry for them; after decades of using the phone to generate appointments and garner information, I'd never work in that sort of a call centre.

All auto-diallers and scripts

I bet she laughed.....

Probably.

Wouldn't know though cos I'd hung up.

I've had the Scouse women ring me up, I got all the questions like "are you looking forward to the new season", and "do you think we will go up", before I cut to the chase and asked if there was any special offers like a free brick in the wall which they used to do, to which the answer was negative and I said thanks but no thanks.

 

[ZoneManWilf]

They called again today and I listened this time. Just for variation I had a Scottish lady on the line, who tried to talk to me about Nigel Adkins, Terry Kennedy and Louis Reed, but pretty clear it was a script. I politely declined the superdraw offer.

 

[United Aren't Back.]

Whats the relevance?

That's the number I used to use to get my reprimand for not doing the washing up..or I thought it was. Once I heard Dave Bassett and Deano, the joy was a different one. Similar number, different game.

 

[Greenwich Blade]

I used to that number it to listen to the commentaries when I briefly had a flat in Brisbane. I didn't stay long enough to see the first phone bill. That must have been around 1990.

1990? Some phone bill - Australian Dollars or Pounds Sterling?

I could write a whole chapter on the Bladesline; in fact I probably did. It also got me in a lot of trouble, with both work in Brackley, Northants, and my mum and dad back in Sheffield. Curse the introduction of itemised bills!
