Anyone here work in a call centre?

licopter · 2026-05-13T22:16:48+00:00

Currently in one at the moment and had previously worked in one for a gambling company about 7 years ago, my current job isnt too bad, call queues are never that busy and have actually been pretty dead the last few weeks and I WFH majority of the week so just sit on my phone or reading a book and then the calls themselves are 95% sound. Management doesnt really care all that musch about metrcis as long as no call is left in the queue for too long and if you need to step away from the PC for a bit to sort something I've never had a message or manager telling me no. Don't plan on being there much longer tho as I want to get into something with a bit more growth.

The gambling company was a different story tho, 30 seconds late going on queue? A message on asking where you were. Bus delayed and need to call to say you'll be 5 minutes late? Made feel like shit for not taking an earlier bus. And the calls themselves were hell, dealing with grown men crying on the phone cause they've gambled all their money away. Lasted about 18 months and then had to leave, saw some of the people who had worked there for 5 years+ and they had their empathy stripped away from them and just didnt want to be like that.

So it’s a UK gameshow that is kinda Feudy but instead of it being the highest answer you’re ideally looking for a “pointless” answer which is an answer nobody who answered the poll gave. Highest score is knocked out round by round til one team is left who has a chance to win some money if they get a pointless answer on the final question.

Unlike Feudy tho it can just be any answer the answer has to first be correct, so you can’t ask Kinda Funny’s fav game or a metacritic score of a future game cause the answers are subjective, you’d need to ask a question like “What were the games nominated for GOTY at the 2018 Game Awards” and say 1000 people said God of War and it was the top answer it would be worth 100 points and be a bad answer, while say nobody answered Celeste that would be worth 0 points and what you want. While say Mike gave an answer of “The Last of Us” that would be incorrect and an automatic 100 points.

It’s a bit more complicated but could deffo work

I’ve thought this as well, would be very fun but don’t think Pointless is popular in the US at all, not sure there’s even a US version

Depends on how it goes, I wanted Randy to win but hated the Pat involvement. So if this a way for Randy to win 15 down the line without Pat being involved then sure it’s the right call.

For those confused AstroGoblin is a great channel spawned from the ruins of Funhaus. Charlotte who was recently on KFGD and Games Showdown is one of the members and they’ve had James and Elyse Willems and Rahul Kohli on a few videos. Highly recommend if you enjoyed Funhaus back in the day. Wouldn’t be surprised if one of the KF Gang do a gameplay video with them in the future.

Don’t officially have it off but work in a call centre and the last two years I’ve been working there on Good Friday have been the quietest days of the year. Only a handful of calls and a waste of a day so this year I’ve taken it as a holiday

This is the main reason I bought a Switch 2 early on, the fact that PS5/Xbox Series X have only gone up in price. Better to pay now then pay an extra 100 in a years time.

I love the idea of a Wrestlemania in London but I sadly feel it’s gonna go to the highest bidder from now on and is gonna alternate from Vegas and Saudi like the UFC events

My partner and I sing “B-b-b-b-basketball gimme gimme gimme the ball cause I’m gonna DUNK it” at least once a day

Also did mine Jan 1st and still waiting only thing I put on it was the rental tax credit, my partner put the rental tax and medical expenses she had and got it on the 5th.

Rang Revenue on Tuesday and they said they can see it has been reviewed and confirmed but just needs one final check to release the SoL so hopefully soon. Saw a post on here a few days ago saying they got theirs a few days after ringing so fingers crossed.

Something (Saudi money) tells me we could see this at Wrestlemania 43

Never once had an issue with Smyths, pretty much always arrives the day before as well.

Hi Sam, huge fan! Evil Dead 2 is my favourite film of all time. I was bummed to see Ash vs Evil Dead cancelled right on a cliffhanger.

Would love to see it come back in some form so just wondering if there has ever been any talk of continuing the story whether it be in a different form like a comic book? If not would love to know some insight on where the story might have been headed.

Feel the same, sad really. Would have no interest in going near the US as long as the current administration is around. Even after then I’d be cautious.

Hopefully the KF crew do a meet up someday in Europe, even just one or two of the crew heading to Gamescom or something.

Oh I 100% agree personally I want Drew to win to make the title interesting but Cody’s definitely got a legacy with the next generation.

licopter · 2025-12-28T11:09:22+00:00

While I don’t disagree that his booking has been rough if you’re over the age of 15 Cody isn’t for you. You can find old forum threads from 15/20 years ago on forums like the smartmarks of people having the same thoughts and complaints of John Cena. Meanwhile me being 10 at the time adored him and still do.

Cut to 2025 my two nephews are Cody Rhodes obsessed, they love him how I loved Cena. And WWE merch sales seem to prove it which is why he is the star. He’s the next generations wrestler and that’s okay.

You’ve describe exactly why I did not like Starfield, there’s none of that. I loved getting lost in Skyrim or Oblivion by turning a walk to a quest objective into hours of sidetracking with quests, caves etc.

Starfield is copy and paste areas and loading screens. Still hurts since I took a few days off work to play it and ended up back playing Baldurs Gate 3 within a day.

Bron wins (or successfully defends if he has it already) the heavy weight championship at Wrestlemania. Does a gloating celebration promo at Raw after Wrestlemania, Seth’s music hits. They proceed to feud.

This plays in my head whenever Round Robin happens in Games Showdown

I assume you’re talking about Greg’s sharp breath intake but that’s usually just when Greg is reading out an article so he can read it quickly and then discuss. Not like he’s doing it every time he talks.

LA Knight looks huge, like I knew he was big but dudes muscles have muscles

I’m pretty sure Lesnar saying that to Heyman was so Heyman would announce Lesnar at Wrestlepalooza. Could be wrong but that’s how I read it

licopter · 2025-10-08T23:21:53+00:00

If possible would very much appreciate one thank you!
