If you’ve ever been annoyed by irritating telesales callers that just don’t get the hint, just like I get daily, then you’ll be happy to know there’s now a fun solution!

This is a short advert/corporate video that I voiced for an iPhone app, based around the motoring industry, produced by Lambda Films.

I really didn’t pay any attention to it. I mean, why would you?

My main website is built on Joomla, whilst this blog is WordPress. Of the two I currently have experience of, my preference is certainly WordPress. I shall tell you why.
