Can't think of most annoying, but I did ONCE speak to Pete Winkelman... he's been doing the odd stint in the ticket office to save money or something. Well that's my 15 minutes of fame.

sky, or my bank asking if i want a mortgage or loan. and i dont want either again thanks very much.
most annoying phone call i have made has to be sky tv, tried cancelling my subscription once, they babered on for a bit and ended up offering me sky (old sky pre digital) for 6 quid a month for 3 months, so i thought id have a bit of that, then the 3 months came up and i phoned up em again to cancel, they babered on again and ended offering me digital for a special price, so again i thought i would have a bit of that, 3 years on i still have bloody sky. i now intend to keep it, but they are the most annoying people on earth, and they are bloody jocks.

Ah ha - annoying phone calls eh? There is a solution. TPS. Telephone preference service. This is a government funded service that will stop 99% of cold calling and other annoying shit. It's actually ilegal for companies to call you once you have enrolled. I joined it (it's free BTW), about 6 months ago. I haven't had a sales gimp or anyone like that once since I joined the TPS.

Most annoying was a call from a magazine researching drinking habits when I was 18. They called and asked a load of questions about how much/how often/what I usually drink so I fed them a load of bull saying I only drank once a week at home alone and drank an entire bottle of whiskey.
The funniest call I received was from a girl who was calling for one of the other guys in my house. I picked up the phone and she started singing Happy Birthday so I let he sing it right till the end while I was splitting my sides with laughter before telling her she got the wrong person

I had a phone call from some woman back along asking to speak to the woman who lived in my house before I did, I said she doesn't live here anymore, and she said that she'd definitely got the right number.
I told her again and she asked to speak to my mum.
I then told her she'd have a hard job coz she lived 300 miles away ( I was living in Gosport at the time)she got all shitty and asked how old I was. I said I'm twenty-****ing-eight now **** off and I put the phone down.
It was funny at the time.........honest

YES CAR CREDIT !!!
here is a story :
started about 12 months ago, i got a call, from YES car credit saying would i like i car, i said no thanks i have one. next week after, same phone call. this happened for about every 2 weeks for a year. then the videos started arriving, letters, all this bumf about getting a car. so about a month ago, i was in a "need a new car mood" so i called them, arranged to go in, before i went, they arranged to do a quick credit check, just a formality i was told. so i was exited at the prospect of a new car.
3 days later, i got a call, from this anal retentive chap, said id failed the credit check and i couldnt get a car. !!!!!!!!!
UN-BE-FU-KIN-LEAV-ABLE !!!!!!!!!
they should call themselfs "PERHAPS CAR CREDIT"
3 days ago, i got another call.
you can imagine what i said.
ill give u a hint, in began with an F, and ended in a C.
