patsylabrador Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Finally seen Woman in Black - the film. Such a good ghost story, I know that because my knees went cold and it made my eyes water. Watching some Rick Stein now to calm down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 One of my DS's old friends (they fell out over a year ago) has for some reason started to make nuisance phone calls to us I have messaged his mum, not that we have spoken for over a year. Wonder if she'll do anything? Won't hold my breath. Kids! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 What do you mean by nuisance calls? Are they threatening in any way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluekarin Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 No, no not threatening just annoying. Particularly yesterday as I was still hobbling about from my torn calf muscle and I thought it was my hubby calling from town. To start with he was pretending to be a friend of my sons and gave me a number. A few seconds later he phoned back and said he was another friend, I said who was it and I can't remember what he said but I then hung up. He then called again seconds later which I let the answer phone pick up and said he was calling in return to a call my hubby had left, but in the most ridiculous voice. Today my hubby picked up but thought it was the usual PIP etc calls and just hung up. He then called straight back and said he was from Virgin and they had noticed we have been illegally downloading and when I asked for his name he said Mr Mickey taker (not really but you get the drift) so I hung up. He phoned again but I let the answer phone take it but he didn't leave a message this time and when I did 1471 he'd withheld his number. Like I say not threatening, just a nuisance as it's a lot of phone calls in a short period of time, and as there is no need to him to be phoning, especially after over a year of no contact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bluekarin Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Interesting, I didn't know that. I shall see what (and if) the mum comes back with and then I'll decide what to do. Thanks Fred. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Looney Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 That sounds very annoying about the calls... hopefully they'll get bored of doing it A few years ago a friend kept getting silent calls on her mobile. We could hear someone there breathing but they didn't speak. Thy just kept ringing. In the end we let a rape alarm off next to the mouthpiece and, after leaving a very abusive message, the caller never bothered her again! We never found out who it was. Not suggesting you should take this course of action!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 We once had annoying calls from a guy asking for a taxi every time he called us, usually in the wee small hours (it was obviously a huge joke to him). He gave up after a week or so but it was really irritating . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 Your phone service provider will give you a PIN to input when they next call, this will bar the caller. I had to use this service a couple of years back when I had a pretty ghastly stalker. It is much easier to block calls to a mobile. If you want to take it further then the police take nuisance calls very seriously. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chucky Mama Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Well done Rosie. My YS's sports day was cancelled after his friend fractured his tibial crest and dislocated his kneecap whilst high jumping Poor boy fractured his skull a few weeks ago when YS kicked a football that hit him in the head causing him to fall and bash his head on the tarmac The words accident and prone spring to mind Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ain't Nobody Here Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I would get myself worked up over something like that too! I''m sure you'll be fine and will enjoy it once you're there .

bluekarin Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Not a daft thing to get worked up about. I went there a few years ago with just me and my hubby for his bday. I made sure I planned the tubes we were taking down to the last detail as I was so worried about getting us lost. We did it and I was very pleased with myself Have a fantastic time! I am sending you some virtual positive vibes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoid Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I live in London, its not that hard to navigate! Since the Olympics are imminent, all the tube stations have extra signage to make getting around even easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
