Open Minded?

You Are 60% Open Minded

You are a very open minded person, but you’re also well grounded. Tolerant and flexible, you appreciate most lifestyles and viewpoints. But you also know where you stand firm, and you can draw that line. You’re open to considering every possibility – but in the end, you stand true to yourself.

How Open Minded Are You?

Something new

In the absence of anything blog worthy happening in my life (apart from another certain football match, which I won’t go into) I’ve decided to try my hand at something other bloggers do.

Despite my lack of photographic skills and my overall appearance I’ve decided to try my hand (although it’s actually another part of my body) at this Half Naked Thursday malarky.

This was taken after playing football last night, whilst in the shower, note the lovely lathering effect.

So you have been warned, although your eyes may have already been drawn to such a delightful sight!

Radio

I’m not a big fan of the radio, mainly because of the stupid playlists, meaning that you hear the same tunes almost constantly.

In my day (that makes me sound really old) there was repetitive playing, but today these are songs that aren’t even released for another 6 weeks or so.

Enough of my rant about playlists.

What I was really going to blog about was a DJ we have over here called Scott Mills, on Radio1, a national radio station.

He seems to specialise in creating funny, if morally dubious, radio moments.

One of his longest running “gags” is the “Flirt Divert” number. Basically he suggests that if anyone is hassling you on a night out you give them this fake mobile number, which they then call, and leave messages which he then broadcasts to the nation.

Some of these messages are hilarious, and it’s no wonder that the recipient of their attention didn’t want to give them their real number!

Another one of his pranks was to ring a takeaway, place a large order, then ask them to hold while his friend added some more to the order. He would then ring another takeaway and ask them to hold for a second. Then he goes go back to the original one and ask them to repeat what he’s already ordered, before connecting the two lines. So takeaway 1 starts repeating the original order, which takeaway 2 thinks is an new order.

The chaos made was incredible, especially if the 2nd takeaway doesn’t do the same dishes as the first, “We don’t do that”, “What, you ordered it?!” “No, you’re ordering it!” etc etc.

Last night I heard his latest venture – collecting phone numbers from toilets, you know the sort of number talking about, and then dialling the number.

Last night’s call went like this:

“Hello I’m calling about the job”
“What job?”
“The one you advertised.”
“What job?”
“I couldn’t make out the first word, it was slightly smudged.”
“Where did you see the advert?”
“In the toilets of The Ship Inn.”

*dialing tone*

It made me laugh anyway!

I’d love one of these

Blogger wasn’t playing nicely yesterday, but then I had nothing to post anyway, but my lame attempt at something wasn’t published by blogger either.

Natural justice maybe?

I’ve still got nothing, but there is this :

If this were a real product it would sell phenomenal amounts.

I have no real problem with background music, but I do hate muzak, and those places that play songs re-recorded by lame musicians and singers. Fork out for the real deal, or don’t bother at all.

I’m not having a great week, can you tell?

Edit: and then Blogger goes and makes me look even more foolish!
