Instead of "hello," say, "stop biting me" in calm, cool, matter-of-fact manner the next time you answer the phone.

Doraemon, do you think there a cultural difference between the way British and American people answer the phone?  Or do you know?  I usually just say, "Hello?" when I don't know who it is.  But then again, I have Caller ID now, so I know who's calling, and usually freak them out by burping and singing a long, strange note into the phone while answering.

"A Long, Strange Note" sounds like a good album title.

I'm not sure to be honest. Consider this a request for every American and British person on here to record themselves answering the phone and post it in the name of science.

How about a prog rock epic called "Ye Post-It Notes of Valhalla"? I have mentioned such a thing before. I really, really want a prog rock epic from RAS, of at least 30 mins per song. The narrative should traverse heaven, hell and unicorns.

One of the people from Pink Floyd has done an opera about the French Revolution. It appears you have some catching up to do.

OKAY PEOPLE LET'S AT LEAST TRY TO STICK TO THE TOPIC  :roll:

I answer the phone with a simple "Hello."

Sometimes I like to answer the phone with 40 seconds of silence.
