todayiamadaisyDo Not Call
The phone rang last night. The woman said, "Oh, hello, Miss Daisyname. I'm just calling from the Do Not Call register, and I want to know if you are receive many nuisance callers?"
I said, "I think you might be the nuisance caller. It's ten o'clock at night." As I put the receiver down, I could hear her saying, "Oh, at night?"
Anyway, I didn't really think it was the Do Not Call register, so I googled to see what sort of scam that call was. Apparently if I'd said yes, I receive nuisance calls, she would have asked for my credit card details so she could deduct a fee to put me on the Do Not Call register. Cheeky.
A conversational u-turn
The painters were hard at work earlier in the week. The head painter talks in a theatrical boom, and his offsider is a quietly spoken man called Kel. On Friday, they were looking forward to the car race at Bathurst over the weekend. On Tuesday, they talked of nothing else. Well, almost nothing else.
Painter: Bathurst, Bathurst, Bathurst.
Kel: Bathurst, Bathurst, Bathurst.
Painter: Car race, car race, car race.
Kel: Car race, car race, car race.
Painter: Car race, car race, car race. [pause] So, tell me Kel... what do you think about Kim Jong-Un?
That... took a turn.
A win (nearly)
After many, many weeks of coming third, the quiz team made it up to second this week. Woo.
