Years Back
I ran a start-up that allowed you to send texts from Outlook. It didn't go anywhere and folded after a year. But playing with the new technology was interesting to say the least. You see, I could spoof the caller-id.

So I had some fun sending messages from God, 02 Admin, MI5 and other sundry made up names. Because whatever I put in the caller ID would come up on the phone. Good fun. Then I found that, if I put numbers in, then if that number was stored on the target phone then the name associated with that number would come up. Had some merry times with that trick.

Then a mate of mine forwarded me a joke from one of his mates who I didn't know. That meant that I had my mates mates number. So I put that into the caller id and sent the following message to my mate.

"K. I don't know how to tell you this but I've fancied you for ages and would love to take you roughly up the bum."

This caused some considerable confusion with K texting his mate back saying he was flattered but he was straight and his mate texting back saying WTF are you on about.

You see, what I *didn't* know was that Ks mate was gay.


Oh - and using the same technology I accidentally sent 4000 messages, all saying test, to the same number. Completely fucked his phone up as it filled up the memory. So he'd delete the 50 messages and the message centre would kindly send the next batch of 50. Took him days to clear them out.

Cheers

...thats me that is...
by your standards i suppose i was lucky to get off with quite a gentle prank.

I seem to recall (a very long time ago) also getting a couple of texts like this from you: "i love you snuggles, wish you were here in bed with me, Legless xxx". At least I hope they were for your then girlfriend whose name was next to mine...

I guessed it was you ;o)
Hmmmm... I remember that GF. She's now a single mum to a beautiful little girl. Still fruit & nut from what I hear and I still get the odd email from her.

Her best line in the Tap & Spile one day was exclaiming in a most impressed manner to a lady in the pub, "OOOOOOOH, LOOK! Your dog matches your outfit!" Which it did.

How are you and your fab missus?

We're Good

New house, two crazy cats - one of which is a spacker as it's deaf and incredibly stupid. Makes Mildew look like a MENSA member...

Anyway - how's J and is he anywhere near his ambition to become a professional assasin?

If you see the ex (and I give thanks daily that the sprog wasn't mine) tell her I'm dead. It'll cheer her up.

Cheers

Not much chance of that mate
She's living in Hadston now.

J changes his mind daily about what he wants to do. So far we're happy that he's made a decision to stay on at High School when the time comes.

Mildew hasn't changed. In fact she's even more mental than she the last time you saw her...
