I had an odd conversation with Beardy last night; I sent him a text and he rang me back to discuss, we chatted for a few minutes before it became obvious we were both on completely different pages. But the conversation had revealed some interesting points anyway.

The text I sent him simply read.... "It's you isn't it?"

Then I thought it would be interesting to send the same text to a few other people and see what I get back

I invite you to do the same

Alternatives include texting your wife/girlfriend with the message... "I KNOW..."
Or "Where is it hidden?" to some random

FLEE! We are discovered!

I just tried this last night: I sent the "where is it hidden?" message to a friend and managed to hold up a 20 minute confused discussion before simply replying "bazinga".

This may be the most fun since... the last thing I found fun.

There have been several examples in fiction whereby someone writes to many different people saying something like,"I know all about what you've done, leave £200 behind the bus stop in the High Street and I'll keep quiet" and some people with guilty consciences have paid up!

I suppose an email campaign from a no reply address might be similarly successful..... not that anyone on TM would do such a thing, of course....

A prankster / anarchist friend of my dad's once told him 'Never waste a misdialed number, if someone calls your house and asks for a person you've never heard of, don't say 'wrong number' say 'He's not talking to you, and you know why', then hang up.'

I keep forgetting to do this when the opportunity arrises, but I live in hope.

Exactly what I thought of when I read the original post. Good old Conan Doyle!
