Title: Is it just me? "How are you?"
Post by: GROWLER on June 01, 2010, 05:04:24 PM
On the phone, on the radio phone ins, all total strangers to me and one another, and it really gets on my ruddy tits, or is it just that most things seem to get on me ruddy titsthese days like? rubschin:

Why do these total strangers ask about your well being ey?
Are they REALLY that interested?
Well the next call center that rings here and asks me, how I am, is going to get my full medical history. happy088

I was thinking the very same only last week when Sanjay called up about something or other ... launching straight into "...and how are you today Mr P?"  evil:

I was thinking of giving him the full SP on my knee (recovered), dose of swine 'flu in the New Year, various other daily complaints etc ... but frankly he wound me up too much before I got started so put the phone down  razz:
