    I always call the Sydney Opera House when I'm drunk and have someone else's phone to ask what shows are on, are they any good, who stars in them, what snacks are available, can I get there by public transport? From Donegal.:pac:

    I used to ring the Cistine Chapel too but they said they would have me arrested if I rang them again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 901 ✭✭✭ChunkyLover_53


    Ring China

    Ask for Annie Walls (Any Walls)

    If they reply "Annie Walls? not here"

    Say to them "Well what about the Great Wall?"

    If Annie Walls answers ask her how her day was.

    Also works with Zambia and ask for Annie Lyons & Ger Raffe

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 550 ✭✭✭zinzan


    Reenact the Simpsons episode and ring someone in the Outback to ask them what way the water goes down their plughole?
    (May cause an international incident and result in a paddling)

    Or ring countries all the way around from here to Australia to find out at what point the change happens*....




    (*It's a myth)

    Ring Macau and ask, "Is this your cow?"

    They'll say, "no this is Macau!"

    You'll say, "that's great I've been looking for your cow"

    They'll say, "this is not your cow, this is Macau"

    Etc, etc

    You know there is a very good chance that an Irish person will answer the phone.

    And they probably know your family.

    Sadly not on the list...could have asked if he's seen Sue Barker recently..


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 947 ✭✭✭Shzm


    Can you conference call etc? Ring two people from different countries and connect them while you stay on mute recording.

    Use your imagination and you may get some hilarious results.

    Well, maybe not for today but,

    If there's something strange,in your neighborhood or

    If there's something weird and it don't look good or

    If you're seeing things running through your head or

    An invisible man sleeping in your bed or

    If you've had a dose of a freaky ghost,

    Lemme tell ya something,


    When it comes through your door, unless you just want some more, I think you better call:

    GHOSTBUSTERS

    Ring an art gallery somewhere and pretend to be banksy for a laugh. Or someone famous booking a hotel asking for silly extras.

    Random movie fact, after the film came out the Ghostbuster's number advertised in the movie was a real number (without the fictional 555 prefix that only exists in Hollywood films) and it had a recording of Bill Murray and Dan Aykroyd saying they couldn't take the call as they were out busting ghosts, it got thousands of calls a day for weeks after the film was released in cinemas.

    Is a single page of posts really too much to read to check for redundancy before posting?
