We get that at work too. Arsemonkey rings up with a recorded message. I dont care, talk to me personally, not fucken with a recording cock-fag

And don't bother waiting through the prattle (as I did one year) in the hopes they have a "If you are interested in learning more about our party or policies, please leave your name and address at the tone" bit at the end, because they don't - they're not stupid and they know quite well what would be recorded...

When it happened to me it was Christian Heritage, at night time around when I was sitting down to dinner with my family - interrupting important quality time with my family to tell me that the Christian Heritage Party places a lot of importance on the family unit... I really wanted to tell them what I thought about that.

Last recorded message I got was for "Would you like to buy a car with easy finance..."
Left THEM a message they wont forget!

Ah, one of the benefits of having an listed number.

Can't say I have that problem.

Thought of calling Rodney's house at teatime with a recorded message of your own? Bet he has an unlisted number though.
