Had an Indian gent named Russell call me at home to kindly let me know I had an issue with my computer and that it was sending his company viruses.
Russell was kind enough to explain I had a virus and he was willing to help me work out how to fix it.
Firstly he asked me to turn on my computer which for some reason took around 5 minutes, in the awkward meantime I apologised as I advised him that I rearly turn it on.
He then asked me to type in some numbers, which I just couldn't seem to grasp and had to keep asking him to repeat.
Although I could sense he was starting to get frustrated, he persisted further. He would often ask what I was seeing on the screen and when I replied all I could see was a blank screen I think he realised I was not achieving his desired result.
After around 15-20 minutes of small talk and having finished cooking dinner, I decided to let Russell know that my computer had turned off and he would have call back another day.
Russell seemed angered and said I would be in big trouble if my computer sent him anymore viruses.
It was nice of him to keep me company while cooking and I hope he calls back tomorrow. |

HAH, well done. You have far more patience than me.
I would have either"
1. Told him to go and &%%& himself and hang up, or
2. told him, thanks for calling, can you please stay on the line for another 30 seconds in order for the AFP to finish tracing this call

I would have told him it was not the only virus I had and then asked him what he was wearing. Then asked him if he really got my number off the Craiglist gay section.

They are in the wrong order, the one above it is the whirlpool from the victim getting sucked under!
(I thought it looked like a shark too!)
Cheers and thanks!

Looks like a black duck in a couple of the photos (with the teal wing feathers)
Good eating.

Nice pictures, TP!
The second picture partly reminds me of the famous "Loch Ness Monster" picture from 1934
