I don't think anyone's reading this any more . . . which is kind of inevitable, I guess. Anyway . . . today I received another cold call at work. The caller display showed the number up as 'T75 trunk' or similar. 'T75 trunk' is how lots of external numbers appear, so it's not really helping me much here. Anyway, I pick the phone up, say hello and give my name and then there's silence . . . all I can hear is the faint workings of some distance call centre (although truth is, it could have been anywhere, or course). "Hello?" I enquire and then this Indian woman says, "Hello, I am calling from Syngumpta Communications about your mobile phone contract." so I say, "From where?" and she repeats, "From Syngumpta Communications. I believe you have a mobile phone contract," so I just say, "Erm . . . no I don't" to which she responds, "Oh, okay," and then hangs up on me. How rude. These people often end up hanging up on me. I think I say the wrong things. Anyway, I have a maths assignment to do for Open University. It's all to do with groups.
