Warwick Capper

I hate to build things up, but this really made me laugh a lot. Once again, credit goes to Tony Martin, although to be fair I think the sea lion's share of the credit actually goes to his accomplice Richard Marsland.

Wait on, let me build it down for a sec. This is an audio file, so the footage is at best distracting. Do yourself a favour and look away. Also, the sound quality could be better. Shop around at YouTube though, you might find a better one. The original file was located at Triple M's Get This page, but for some reason they've taken it down! You can still get it from the podcasts page, along with their final episode and others. While we're here, there's also some high quality ringtones up for grabs. My favourite: Brian Boyd and David Dickinson (tie). There's also a decent summary of capers at Wikipedia.

I'd like to single out two moments on this crank call:

1) Natasha S-D's decorum in the face of a silly crank call. She was a good sport straight off the bat, and that speaks volumes for the depth of her character.

2) Jeff Fenech, late in the call, responds to the "Hi this is Warwick Capper" with a full-blooded "Hiiii!!" I thought to myself, "what the hell?" - cw

Man, I really can't single out too many moments - almost all make me laugh.

Totally agree about the Jeff Fenech call. That whole call is hilarious.

Poor George Donikian was worried about WC. "Where are you, mate?"
"Ok - ok - catcha"
"Alright, bye"
"Hi!"

Other mirthy moments:
Is that good enough?, Y'happy with that? and You want me to hit it? all being answered in the affirmative at various times.
