I remember running up a massive bill at work calling that back in the late 80's / early 90's. I don't know how I kept my job.
This was back in the days when I was labouring for Tarmac building a new road. I often ended up helping out the council civil engineers and they had a direct outside line with no barred numbers so every time we went back to their hut I rang for an update. Some days I'd call four or five times. Mental.
On a long enough time scale, all our futures are in doubt. Actually, they're not in doubt at all. Survival rate will be zero.
But after he wins the prize he starts ageing doesn't he? Can't remember the sequels all that well, they were rubbish. First film was great though. There Can Be Only One.
I loved it, the first un. In my student days there was a TV series of it. Different actors etc, but I enjoyed watching that n all after midnight on ITV. Stoned, usually.
I worked for Halfords at the time of Clubcall. There was no block on the outbound lines. I rang it dozens of times a day on the off chance of a new loan signing from Grimsby Town or sommet. They must have made more from my calls than they did from promotion to the Prem!
Pub I drank in at the time had one of those "push button A to speak" pay phones. Handy though Clubcall was, it was no conversationalist so you could just listen for free.
Re: 0898 12 11 52 I could still remember the number too. It told you next to nowt, but at the time I wasn't in charge of any phone bill, so I was addicted.
