Every week, we ring up a random call centre and ask them to give a prediction or two on the

weekend's games...

118 118: 118 118, how may I help you?
RUCKED: Hello, we’re looking to get some predictions for this weekend’s rugby results.

118 118: Which town is that?
RUCKED: Um, no it’s a sport. Haven’t you heard of it?

118 118: Sorry, I’ve never heard of it, we’re based in the middle of the Philipines.
RUCKED: So they don’t play rugby in the Philippines then?

118 118: No.
RUCKED: Oh.

RUCKED: Okay, well we’re trying to get some predictions for a sport called rugby.

118 118: I’m sorry I don’t have that information. For that service, you would need a different number.

RUCKED: No, it’s okay you can tell us.

118 118: I’m sorry I’m not allowed to engage in conversation with you.

RUCKED: Why not?

118 118: We’re not allowed.

RUCKED: Okay, we’ll make it quick then. England versus South Africa, who do you fancy to win? Who do you prefer?

118 118: Okay I can guess, did you say England versus Africa?

RUCKED: Close enough.

118 118: Okay, I’ll say England.

RUCKED: Good stuff, how about Wales against Australia? Technically, Australia is a bit closer geographically…

118 118: I’ll go for Wales.

RUCKED: Controversial, like it. Finally, Ireland versus Georgia?

118 118: I’d go for Ireland.

RUCKED: Thank you very much, have a nice day.
