A fella the same brother knows in his late 30s. He lost the use of one eye, it turns out he was fond of picking his hole so often and rubbing his eye it was infected once too many times. Most people would be keen not to tell that part, but not this fella.
It would damage this forums' reputation

Listened to this the night before a long flight. Bad time to go down that particular rabbit hole.

Know this aul lad and he never texts but is able to directly leave messages on my voicemail without the phone ringing. How does he do that? And what the f**k is that about?

He then gets thick if you dont call him back.

Not sure about nowadays but you used to be able to go straight to someone's voicemail if you dialed the pre-fix and then put "5" before the rest of the number.

I never check my voicemail if I dont get a missed call notification.

Othertimes I know he has left a message but refuse to call back for him being a total oddball about getting in touch.  Just text or call!

Ya back in the late 90s or early 2000s you used to be able to do that. I thknk you could even get into other peoples voicemails and listen pretty easy aswell. Or did i imagine that. I'm pretty sure you could

You can still get directly through to my voicemail on my Vodafone number by dialing the 087 and then 5 before the rest of the number. When you get through and while you are listening to the message you can press hash on the keypad and it will ask you for your password. 

Years ago the default password on every account was 0000 so anyone could access your voicemails if you hadn't changed it beforehand. I think this is how the news of the world newspaper accessed the school girl, Milly Dowlers voicemails. The investigation found that messages that had been left by the family had been listened to (by people working for the paper) and the family were living in hope that she had just run away.

I changed my contract with Vodafone recently and I had to set up my voicemail again. It wouldn't let me proceed without entering a new password/pin on the voicemail.. There were a few Irish politicians who got caught out over the years because they didn't change their default voicemail password. People were listening to their messages and some had their viocemail message changed to something that they probably wouldn't have been 100% happy with.

Yeah it was a great way of delivering bad news or just pretending that you were trying to make contact with someone without any luck. 

“I can’t seem to get through to you. I’ve tried a few times. Maybe the coverage is bad. Anyway, I’m feeling very sick and can’t come to the to work today. The doctor prescribed some sleepers and I’m going to try and get some rest now so my phone is going on airplane mode. I’ll be in touch soon”

People walking out of a shop and they come to an abrupt stop to light a cigarette or check something right where the entrance is, completely oblivious to anyone behind them. It's amazing the amount of people walking around completely oblivious to the world around them.

Its outstanding isn't it? Aul wans and escalators are even worse because theres nowhere to go and theres people piling up behind you. They're just there standing in awe with their mouths open trying to figure out what side they parked on.

You'd always see that in railway stations. They just spot once they go through the barrier.
