A Cold call from Hell!

The past couple of days has been fantastic! I've been enthused in a gathering of Missioners and blessed by doing Messy Church on the Bible (how fitting for 'World Book Day' - see photo below) with a bunch of brilliant children and amazingly committed volunteers ('Thank You').


Back in and starting to work out why the mail won't send when the telephone rings, so I pick up the telephone and the following conversation is had:

Hello, is that Mr Birch

It could be, who are you, what are you selling and how long will it take?

I am ringing from the support office of Windows computing

I don't use windows for they are indeed the work of the devil.

Your computer is showing as having a problem and . . .

Is this a windows computer you speak of?

Yes Mr Birch, we have detected a problem . . .

Of course you have for you are in league with the devil himself - begone foul spirit . . .

Hangs up!

Haven't had so much fun since the undertaker's man fell in to the open grave on a wet and slippery Autumn afternoon!
