£91,000 phone bill calling chatlines

All I can say is he should of done this ages ago

Check out the song (and lyrics) of 'Chat Line Larry' by Glenn Tilbrook (of Squeeze) with Nine Below Zero!

Kinda sums the article and this thread up completely.

That is one randy bugger.

Why does it say girlfriend in the title?

Can't help wondering if they got the story wrong, did he 'split with his girlfriend' or did 'his girlfriend split'? Those blow-ups dolls need careful handling

Not only did he get the 19grand bill and carry on, but they also barred his sim card, but he went and got another to get around the block. He then claims he was partly to blame!
No 'partly' involved dude, it's all on you, pay up and stop whining.

Theres no way in hell you could rack up 19k on a bill and then get another contract with another company or same company so easily.

what an absolute prat. absolutely laughing at his it's everyone's fault bar me attitude, blaming everyone apart from himself, vodafone, studio66 and the babes on studio66 for his bill and taking no personal responsability. especially laughed at the bit when he says he had no idea of the costs and should have been barred. its on screen how much the calls cost, the babes themselves say you have to be over 18 and how much the calls cost and that's why there is a 20min limit for people who call, to stop them racking up bills like this. also he did get barred, so what did he do...he switched networks and got another sim card and carried on calling!!!!!!!

had a look on the mail article on this and the sun article on this and pretty much all the comments are having a go at him.

bet studio66 are loving all this publicity theyre getting

Good job I've cut down from calling now? as there is no way I would continue calling if I got a £19,000 phone bill surely anyone would quit if they got a phone bill that high? it sounds very much like someone I've heard of though getting friendly with a girl called Hannah having a phone bill over £300 in one week is scary enough!!

I don't think Studio 66 should court the publicity, they don't come out of this looking very good either. The babes obviously preying on this easy touch for their stats. No doubt Hannah's story about her relationship 'problems' was a load of bull, designed to reel him further. Quite cold if you ask me, but that's their job.

Still, this guy has no-one but himself to blame.

Phew, £91,000 that's a lot of chugging
