Who keeps ringing me!

Hello!
About 5 minutes ago, my home phone rung. Now usually this means that someone is either ringing to have tell us that we've forgotten some important bill or something, or that people want to talk to us. Most people who want to talk to me, the few that do, ring me on my mobile (an ancient machine that I wouldn't be surprised if tutankhamen is on my contacts list).

But for some random reason, every time I pick the phone up it simply starts going 'pip pip pip pip pip pip pip'. Now this may be charging us lots of money. But its not that which bothers me. The phone number is from Nottingham...I know absolutely no one in Nottingham and nobody in my family knows who people up there. So why do they tease me.

I'm not sure if anyone has ever noticed, that there is always a complete panic when the phone rings in a family house. We have one phone downstairs and one upstairs. It turns into a sprint over who can pick the phone up first, occasionally resulting in me having a 3 way conversation with one of my sisters friends...not a great experience. It can be calm and peaceful, and then all of sudden, like a firework has just being shot up your backside, you jump up and run.

When I was once told not to answer the phone, it was the most tempting thing I have ever seen. More so than those cheap bags of sweets you buy, or perhaps (i would guess) a cigarette. So when I pick the phone up I expect it to be a interesting conversation. Not a pip. So if the person or computer that is having some kind of love affair with my handset is reading this STOP. Before I ring you......
Lol, basing a blog on a couple of random phone calls, these things can have anything in em!
