Ringing random people with my father's name...

Posted September 10, 2001 8:30 PM.

This evening, for ... well, I don't really know why ... I decided to ring a few numbers in the London area for people called Thomas John Coates. I rang up four or five, said I was looking for a friend of mine called Tom Coates, but I thought I'd come through to the wrong number, and then asked them their age. I don't know why I did it really. Felt a bit shaky after ringing a three or four and decided to stop.
