He's so funny when he goes all whimsical..

Instead when the telephone demands my attention it is usually a robot demanding that I do something unspeakable with payment protection insurance or something equally meaningless. And in any case, when I am at my desk I am usually working, so I don't welcome interruption so I don't give out the number.

Sorry Ritchie, I only just stumbled on this. Yes, it's the very one when they sold UBG he and Rowena started the Real Classic mag, complete with a TP, but subscription only, along with the website.
