She must've seen my CP profile

A local person recently received what she immediately knew to be a scam call..the one about being in a recent car accident. She did the right thing, said "not me", and hung up. The cheeky bugger immediately rang back, and told her she had suffered a head injury in the accident, and that's why she couldn't remember it.
As you can imagine, her elicited a response a little less polite than the previous one.
Cheers,
Mick

When that mob call on my (ex-directory) number, I ask "Where did you get this number?" Yet to receive a coherent reply.

A couple of years ago, I deleted my IMDB account because they demanded either a phone number or credit card details (to look at movie reviews? feh).
I dropped by there today, because I couldn't remember the surname of that guy who was in that thing with Ronnie Williams--- never mind why: tl (but hence the Welshish thread title).
It didn't take ten seconds to find him ("Davies", for the CDO[^] amongst us), but then my eye flicked up to the top-right corner of the page, and there's my name.
Apparently, I rejoined IMDB in December last year, with the same account details as my closed account.
How nice of them to arrange that for me. Very thoughtful.
The "Delete Account" option is in the same place as before, but what's the point, if they're going to ignore my wishes?
I just have to decide now whether or not to firewall their IPs (and make them pay for the firewall, of course).

Canadian Teacher gives student 'Crystal Meth' assignment[^]
What on earth was that teacher thinking?!?
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

Free meth?

Drama class.
Granted, I've only ever had one drama teacher in high school, but from what I remember of her, that's probably par for the course.
I've never despised a teacher that much in my life.

Them as can, do.
But the knowledge that there are people who are so useless that they can't even pretend properly is quite headache-inducing.

Bright side: At least the kids have learned to read, so it's better than some other schools.

Why is a drama teacher handing out chemistry homework?

She told a chemistry joke and there was no reaction. She quit.

Probably into romantic plays - where chemistry between actors is all important.

I'm disappointed in the article no picture of the assignment page. I wanted to read it.

I mentioned this as a way to improve the quality of software in a post some time ago.

I wonder if it steals from Leslie[^] too.

Next it'll steal code from msdn, just like all newbie programmers

And from there it's not far to 'gimme codez plz!' anymore.
The language is JavaScript. that of Mordor, which I will not utter here
This is Javascript. If you put big wheels and a racing stripe on a golf cart, it's still a f***ing golf cart.

"No, from Canada."

$7000.00 Power Cable
I saw this on amazon and couldn't believe that there was a power cable that cost $7000.00! I wanted to know what justifies that outrageous price, so I dug into the reviews. These reviews are priceless ; the cable on the other hand...
When you are dead, you won't even know that you are dead. It's a pain only felt by others.
Same thing when you are stupid.

For that price the US govt must be buying them by the truckload!
