With the recent news of the phone-in 'mistakes' chris was particularly quick to make fun of the programmes that had asked people to phone in when they had no chance at all of getting on!

Wasn't that what happened this morning on catchphrase though? they asked ppl to phone in but had that chap from 'Definitly Might-be' on. Surely that must have been rigged, what are the chances of him getting through!!!!!!! On the other hand if it were pure chance and I was the guy I'd be straight to the newsagents to buy my lottery ticket for saturday.

freephone number, twat

[artyom]

correct maybe from a landline, although I'm sure that a large proportion of the people that phone in, from their cars, don't have landlines installed and are therefore reduced to using their mobile phones, from which they do have to pay

[SAV1OUR]

Lol, love it when you get your T's out

yes but how many are using inclusive minutes, or have the number set up as a dream number on which they don't pay ?

Or what if they are "roaming" but it's a business call, and therefore the firm pays

or they have pay as you go but they stole the phone

or they have a hookie phone where they have it chipped and all calls are free

or..... and get this, they don't give a * as the fact the callers are vetted to go on radio to win a * mug doesn't bother 99.999% of us human beings....

If this is Aled being funny then ha ha, well done, no ones bothered love

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

It doesn't count with your inclusive minutes. Nor do the texts to short numbers.

[Boboff]

Mug ? they are calling to win a Mug...........

how's the sofa Gas boy

[Gaspode_The_Wonder_Dog]

I just asked it and it said its fine.

[timp]

Judging by the location it almost definetly is Aled looking for a reaction from us.

[Jimmy_Lemon]

Why on earth would Aled bother?

[Boboff]

I just asked it and it said its fine.

mine is called sophie, not Chris's Sophie, but my Sophie, she calls to me like a mermaid when I am on Holiday, I have to return to her mystical chants !

She used to be a black Leather Recliner, but the kids bashed her Arms off, now she's a 3 Seater Red Leather Job.... with three seats you can put your ass in the middle of the cushion which I like

[artyom]

it's not about the money, my point was I found it funny that chris ripped the tv companies for telling people to call when there was no chance of getting through yet his show goes ahead and does exactly that!

[Boboff]

It was just the same when he called a ringtone gay and then buggered Aled, and then swore at the woman for having kids, then had sex without protection, he's either a hypocrite or trying to entertain 8 million people ?

[S4B]

I find it entertaining! Hypocrisy is very entertaining! And I agree it's Aled trying to get us called Geeks again!

Could it not be that there is more than one person from Aberystwyth

[DemonHorse]

I don't think Aled would be so obvious.

[Johnny 1989]

I think the difference here though is it's not for a cash prize, plus they don't bug you into constantly call every 2 minutes

Plus you'd have to be niave if you think they didn't select call from time to time, if you listen to the old shows from 1997 in True of False the fourth caller is the same person "coincidently" and they speak to her like a regular, perhaps they did a similar thing in this case?

Unless I've read the first post wrong?

Could it be Aled the mild mannered Day Prodcuer.... could be !!

Or not, who really cares, if it is fine, if not, so what, and it was a joke, realistically I thought the guys were all on their way to Preston tonight anyway, so please arty, please just take it all in good humour as I sicerely mean it!

thanks chap

[artyom]

yer i agree that you'd have to be naive to think that they didnt select the callers from time to time and when they do rachel announces 'the lines for carpark catchphrase are not open, so do not call ....' blah blah blah, i'm not sayin that i didnt find it funny this morning, but it was midly amusing that hes always ripping itv and goes and makes the same mistake
