Cockburn!!!

Today at work i had a phonecall from a particularly nasty policy holder who insisted that his name was pronounced 'Coburn' when it was spelt 'Cockburn'. This man was very rude and swore at me when i put him on hold to get help. the first time i put him on hold he moaned about the hold music when i got back to him, so the second time, i told him i'd just put him on silent. he laughed and said thanks. however i'd just gone on 'Mute' but could here him. I heard him call me a fucking cunt, i wasn't happy, when i got back to him i just kept calling him "Cockburn" over and over. He was fucking furious, It was hilarious!

Then i cut him off.
That'll teach you Cockburn! mad

Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind.

I called up some company once and the lady answered "Ophelia Cox" (say it out loud for max benefit). I was confused, since I didn't have one.

Oh Marrk... "Cockburn" is pronounced "Coburn".

The funniest name a caller to my office had was a Japanese man called Mr Sakashita.

There's an island off the coast of Scotland too, called Twat Island.

Oh, there's a Minge Lane someplace in Southern England too. I presume it's a cul-de-sac.

I live about thirty minutes walk from a place called "Nob End". Here's a map of the canal which runs through my village. Nob End is at the bottom...
