# I did some work for a market research company once
the survey was "should the NHS fund tattoo removal" - you'd be amazed at how many people there are out there that don't know what a tattoo is!

# I'm continually amazed that
the people I speak to make it through the day.
The great general public are 90% muppets.
100% of FACT!

I'm in market research, I should know
And yes, I hate it.

# Yeah that too.
But the number of times I've been told "No, I'm cooking for the kids"...

# I have often thought
of keeping a tape recording of crying children beside the phone, and playing it when people ring. That'll scare them off.

trying to explain to people that you don't actually have their phone number, the number was randomly selected by a computer program.

# Erm, probably the smoking one
Though hearing the words "blood clots on my lungs" is helping me to think about quitting.

this is getting a bit like the antiscript that was on t'front page a while back, for when people like me call up. I put it up at work, people loved it

# that was good
although I got a bit bored trying to follow it all. I prefer the "Sorry, I'm not interested. Goodbye" approach.

Its great for winding people up on a Saturday morning.
