Ninty - shhhh, it's ringing!

Customer Service - Hello, PlayStation 2 service centre?

Ninty - Hello, is that the PlayStation 2 service centre?

CS - ...yes.

Ninty - Ah, hello there! Yes, I have a slight problem with my rocket.

CS - Sorry?

Ninty - My rocket, it's not taking off.

CS - I don't understand.

Ninty - ...rocket.

CS - ...Look this is a joke so I'm going to hang up now -

Ninty - No seriously, I bought the stand and everything, set it up on its side n stuff and I've been waiting for a few days now!

CS - What...oh, I see. Funny man!

*hangs up*

THE NEXT DAY

CS - Hello, PS2 service centre?

Ninty - Yes, I'd like to know who I'm speaking to please?

CS - This is Colin, how can I help?

Ninty - Ah, hi there Colin. The problem is that I was playing SSX Tricky and I kinda got carried away and pressed the eject button and the game's frozen on me.

CS - Right. Right...if you just hang on I'll go and ask what to do...OK, you're going to have to restart the console.

Ninty - Wah!? But won't that lose my game?

CS - Er...yeah.

Ninty - But I've been playing for ages! Doesn't the machine have a hard-drive or anything so I can just keep playing?

CS - Ummm...yes, there is an additional Hard Drive but that's separate and you have to pay for it.

Ninty - and that costs how much? SWEET BEJESUS! YOU THINK I'M GONNA PAY THAT MUCH!? YOU WORTHLESS PIECE OF -

*Hangs Up*

DAY THREE

CS - Hello, Customer Service, how can I help?

Ninty - Oh, yes, hello, is that Colin?

CS - No, sorry this is Pamela.

Ninty - Ah, Pamela, yes, I've rung because I'm currently taking a dump on my PlayStation's disk tray and I want you to try and persuade me not to push the tray back in.

CS - Oh my God.

Ninty - I'm almost finished Pamela...

CS - Right, OK then er, whats your name?

Ninty - ...it's...Adam...*splatter*

CS - right, OK Adam, I strongly recommend that you do not insert faeces into your PlayStation 2 as that would seriously damage the hardware. The disk tray is designed for DVDs only and not anything else, certainly not something that could spill into the internals...are you still there?

Ninty - Keep...going...

CS - Ummm, it also be illegal as you would be tampering with the PS2's internals.

Ninty - So sort of like a mod-chip, made out of crap?

*hangs up*

DAY FOUR

CS - Yes, customer service?

Ninty - Hello Pam?

CS - What?

Ninty - Is that Pamela?

CS - Are you taking the mickey or what?

Ninty - Oh no, it's just that-

CS - Listen, if you think my voice sounds like a girl's just say so OK!? I don't need cheeky little prankers like you ringing me up and taking the mick just say it to my face!

Ninty - But I didn't say anything about your voice what the...?

*hangs up*

You can't beat Brookers prank calls. I first heard 'em a while back but they've put 'em on the latest PCZone as a treat.

No, I'll read it tonight but I know it won't have the Digistiser "feel" to it. The irreverant humour always made me laugh. Indeed, Mr Biffo's farewell was one of the funniest things I've read in a while.

*sniffles*

It's just not fair, damnit!
