    Can't decide what to have for dinner? Need to know if you should break up with your missus? Struggling to pick between heading out or staying in with a few tins? If you have a question that needs answering just drop a text to 11850 and ask them. Had some great fun on Friday night with some of the lads texting all sorts.

    Give it a go and see what they say.

    Well seeing how in the past I've rang them up looking for a taxi company and was given the number for a company that makes shelters for taxi ranks I'm not going to put much faith in their answers.

    You should ask them questions like 'how do i get a blood stain out of the carpet' quickly followed by 'where can i buy a shovel' and finally 'how long does a black bin bag take to decompose in ground'. Every so often shouting 'hurry up, i need the answer NOW'

    Just texted: "Trying to make my husband jealous. Any chance you could send me loads of lovey-dovey messages over the weekend? G'wan- I'll buy you sweets!"

    Response was- "Sorry but we can't send you messages unless you text us first. We think it's best if you try to talk to your man and spend more time together".

    Eh, 11850, PI is that way

    Reply: "Lyrics from a song by Sultans of Ping FC"

    So then I asked

    "So not only have I lost my jumper some band wrote a song about it, do they know where it is?"

    Reply: "The band may or may not know where your jumper is but you should ring and enquire at the disco"


    ...this will continue!
