    I hung up as soon as I worked out I was being ball busted by a machine. So about 4 seconds.

    I found it a mildly confusing. He started blabbing "John Longmire here" - took me a few seconds to figure out it was the coach. Didn't help I was sitting in a meeting.

    At least it wasn't outsourced to an Indian call centre.... "we would like you to be coming to a most excellent footballing match... also can I sell you a wonderful OPTUS call plan"

    I've had sympathy for today's Horse and other machines since reading "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?"

    Besides, he was so genuinely keen on luring me (and Annie) to the game it was hard to dismiss him. And it might have been Horse himself playing a trick on me again - like constantly almost selecting TDL.

    Got the same call, and it doesn't bother me but it's preaching to the converted. I was always going to the game. I'd be happy to save them the cost of the phone call!

    So did I - it was interrupting my footy talk with one of the few people I work with who goes to Swannies matches...

    I got it as well. Didn't mind on this occasion, as it was about my religion. Still can't go to the game though, because (as with a lot of Swans supporters) we have Sydney AFL commitments on Saturday.
    Can't understand why the Swans would want to play on Saturday afternoon.

    His message said he wouldn't be calling you because you dissed the umps.

    It was all a misunderstanding.

    All I did was tell Ray and his mates if they wanted a beer after the game that they should go to the Far Queue.

    You were probably the same person who said Bill Clinton was misquoted when he said "hold my calls and sack my cook"?

    He called me too but I missed the call. When I accessed the message later he told me that he was sorry he'd missed me (I assume he was sorry he missed my call but you never know I guess....)

    I thought it was kind of cool and amusing at the same time. Good on the club for giving it a go.
