Do I miss this?

Very funny. (I got to the bit where the dog barked, and it set my dog off).

I really don't feel comfortable chatting socially on the phone - a business conference call is my idea of hell.

We all pick up phones in different parts of the house. That is when they bother to phone

brilliant!

The amount of people I had to explain the conference call in Sherlock to was pretty amazing. I'm surprised they haven't caught on more amongst families who are scattered all across the world.

Brought back 'happy' memories. My secretary and I used to get on with more important work whilst I occasionally went "yes, no, really" or more importantly. " I quite agree with you boss". There used to be about 40 on the big conference calls and I often thought we probably looked like rabbits startled by headlights during them.

I've had a few like that!

It's funny...honestly!
