	I had a call from a nice foreign gentleman called Mike who works for BT telecom. It was about my internet. I told him I don't use BT because I don't have a telephone so he rung off.

	I'm sure it's illegal but a loud blast from the Referee's whistle I keep close to the phone tends to bring miscreant communications to a speedy conclusion . :-D

	Oh no he wasn't an Irish navvy. I don't get that kind of luck. Actually, we did used to have dealings with an Irish tax office, I think they share any surplus wok around somebody who can take it on, and I used to treat it like a chat line. I used to make the poor guy explain all sorts of complicated things I didn't understand at all, just so I could listen to him.

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 7 819 Send Message	Why is it "Racist"? Racism or Racialism is hostility or hatred towards persons of another race. So if we call a person from Liverpool a Scouser is that Racist? So what if we call a person from Pakistan a P...? You get my drift.

	If, among other things I was referred to as a Geordie, would that be racist, or regional.
