When we were kids we used to ring the last person in the Stockton/Middlesbrouigh phone book and give him hell.

He was a Mr ZWEEP, 17, Rifts Avenue, Saltburn.

I'll always remember it. We used to ring him up and ask..

"Is ZOOTY IN?" rolfl

Just checked the phone book and he now lives in Sandsend !!

I once rang a phone number, thinking it was Joan Collins, and got through to a guy called Chuck Panama, a TV producer for 20th Century Fox.

I told him I was Shergar the racehorse, I'd been kidnapped by the IRA and fed radioactive potatos, hence I'd mutated and was able to speak English.

Being totally without humour, he transferred me to his personal secretary, Cynthia Leibermann, to take down my details. She said she did not believe my story, so I accused her of being "horseist".

Ms Leibermann went berserk and transferred me to 20th Century Fox security who said they would trace the call. To help them I told them my address ... Beachers Brook, Aintree.

I was bored, pissed .. and it was a Thursday night. :roll:

I though Thursday was 'Art' night at the Frog and Wimple?? confised

I could always see a public telephone box from our house; you can guess the rest; wait until someone is about to pick it up, and hang up. As they walk away, try again. Repeat until bored!

When my Mam was a nurse she had a colleague who used to spend night shifts ringing all the Bonds in the phone book asking for James

I used to do the same in Tony's chinese food emporium on amber st, saltburn town.

we got the number off the menu, and ring it, when he'd answer we'd hang up.

then ring again.....he'd get sooooooo cross but couldn't NOT answer the phone!
we'd be pissing ourselves laughing at him :laugh:

and it'd go on till we got our grub :roll:

you'd think he'd twig like!! :grin:
