Has anyone heard about triangle flapjacks being dangerous weapons?

I have just made a batch of flapjacks in a circular tin, which I will cut into triangles. Tonight I will be meeting up with some friends, who will share the goodies with me. The cakes may be accidentally dropped, tug false teeth out, or swallowed down 'the wrong way'....they could also be used as lethal weapons, which we could lob at each other across the room, a bit like a version of paint balling. I will provide a full suit of armour (well, a couple of saucepan lids - no wads of cotton wool in sight) to each of my guests. One thing I guarantee, great fun will be had by all - Bring on the Bun Fight, is this living dangerously? grin

We get calls about our payment protection insurance. We don't have payment protection insurance. Definitely speculative.

Has anyone noticed that the first part of such calls is often a recording nowadays? I presume you're meant to press some number on the phone to get to a real person, but I'venever listened for long enough to find out.

"This is an urgent message…" No it isn't!

I had an 'urgent' text at 4.15am. As I hadn't silenced the phone, it woke me up. Not pleased!

I believe that when you press the number button for more info, you are then phoning them and are charged, at extortionate rates, which they get the benefit of. I'm not sure how they do that, or even if it is true, because I always put the phone down on them too.

Elegran I suspect you're right. The call is probably routed via Vanuatu or somewhere equally exotic and far flung. I know that lots of the sex lines are. Don't ask – it's a long story.
