    Had a call from MSN today trying to get me to subscribe for 12 months This Guy just would not give up. Told him to bugger off in the end. Anyone else has this experience?

    No but if they call just say your TPS registered and they soon go - if not either go outside put the handset by the horn and deafen them or just leave it on the side so they can bore themselves to sleep

    The correct tactic to use for any nuisance phone call, ignore the attention seeker

    (I do like the horn idea though!)

    MSN? Do they want to send you smilies?

    I'm sure you mean MCN though?
    Make it idiot proof and someone will make a better idiot.

    I received a call from them on my mobile on Saturday morning, the guy introduced himself saying he was calling from "Motorcycling News..." I put him right on that and told him that I wasn't remotely interested in having that criminal waste of trees filling up my paper recycling box, even if the first ten issues were free or whatever other enticement they were offering.
    I've used the TPS on the landline for years now, don't get bothered on that any more - in fact the only person who calls me on the landline is my mum! ;D

    Might be because they only manage to sell half of what they send out to retailers... and shhhh I didn't tell you that! ;D

    If retailers have a surplus, I'll have a few off them. I make those paper brick out of our old newspapers to get the fire going. Also makes good compost.

    ;D Unfortunately it's a sale or return situation where retailers get credit for returned copies, and they pay the wholesalers to destroy remaining copies... Just in case anyone wanted to try and get a free read of it! lol
