Posted on August 17, 2010 by James

There I was, happily Consuming some Internet and doing my part to fill popular social networking sites with noise when … things started to go a bit funny.

Please stop ringing me during the day when I am at work. If you must, leave a message on my answering service! Every day for the past week you’ve rung and not left a message. I bet you’re phone spam, if so please go away as my number is registered on the TPS
