How annoying are Talk Talk sales calls

Details
Created: 20 March 2006
What a load of b*llox and pain in the a*se those constant phone calls from Talk Talk sales reps trying to get me to move across to their service. Seeing as I am already a Tele2 customer, and Talk Talk have acquired Tele2 in the UK, means I am going to get billed from them very shortly anyway.

If I get any more of these calls I am going to switch, and give them a mouthful of Tourettes at the same time.

More of that please.

Got back from a fantastic week long break in Rome, doing karate, drinking, eating and sightseeing.

A big thank you to Fernando and Meg for their more than generous hospitality, wine and food. Highlights were visiting the historic centre, drinking expensive Guiness and perfect Spaghetti Carbonara (not the UK creamy mulsh).

Setting off on 18 April 2006 for an elegant cruise down through France, stopping off at two hotels on the way, before ending up at the glamourous principality of Monaco on 20th April - to coincide with the Top Marques Monaco luxury and supercar show.  We are delighted to announce that the after dinner speaker at the Top Marques Monaco Drivers' Luncheon will be Murray Walker, TV personality and F1 commentator.


Want to know the spread of your surname?

There is this web site: http://cetl2.geog.ucl.ac.uk/uclnames/Surnames.aspx which lets you search on a surname, and then it gives a UK map showing the spread of population with that name across the UK.

They seemed to have swapped the census dates on the results page though.
