    Maybe she misunderstood "To hear your bills"

    I rang and spoke to a guy in sales and he said it's a marketing ploy but that's all he knows.

    This thread is probably exactly what they're looking for, word and mouth, people ringing just to hear about it, getting the name out there etc

    It's working i suppose


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 384 ✭✭Leeby


    I rang, someone answered, I felt stupid saying anything about it so I just said "uh.....eh....sorry, wrong number." and hungup.


  • Moderators, Regional Midwest Moderators Posts: 11,183 Mod ✭✭✭✭MarkR


    I rang. I listened. I loled.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,372 ✭✭✭The Bollox


    it would have been better if you heard this instead


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 7 D:


    You hear that when you ring Eircom..

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 26,061 ✭✭✭✭Terry


    I don't know how anyone can listen to that tool.

    I was loking after my cousin's autistic kid the other day. He wouldn't let me change the channel on the radio. Ray foley was on and spent about 3 minutes of air time laughing about a doctor referring to condoms as "condominiums". He thought it was hilarious. I wanted to kill myself.
