Everyone must have heard of Shaq and Mark on Yes FM in the mornings ??? If you haven’t tune to the channel where you don’t hear songs, just two guys talking non stop !!! 

Ok, these guys are interesting but they do talk tooooooo much !!! Any they can be very annoying !!!! but sometimes funny and interesting to listen to.

Topic for the day was customer care, these two call up various questions, ask dumb questions, annoy the person they call, sometimes talk a bit of sense and basically make a fool out of the person on the other end. They have called some local companies, international companies, and various levels of people from those organisations. They are trying to prove a good point but maybe not in the best way.

Now let’s say I call the Maharaja group and speak to someone, ask them dumb questions, make a fool out of them on the radio, and later they find out, what will they do ? In one call they call a Dialog rep, I’m sure she must have heard the clip finally as it’s on their site, but well if she handled the call fine but what if she didn’t ? If her superior heard it, or as they record their customer support calls, say they played it and lets say it was bad, it made Dialog look bad, she lost her job or was the reason for the company being made a joke would that be ok from Yes FM’s point of view ?

Guys you got to make sure you take off all words relating to any company you pick on in Sri Lanka or abroad. You probably got the idea off prank calls listed on the net or by listening to a foreign radio station. It’s all good the lesson you’re trying to teach us but you are going to piss off a lot of people at the same time.

A few people wanted to see how your group would feel being on the other end so we also have made a few prank clips like you have for the viewers to see how it feels for the guys making the prank calls  No harm intended only a clean joke, no foul language or anything just like you guys do it. But you will like them and I think so will your listeners, we will send them to you and if you think they are ok you can put them on your site as joke played back on us 

You can listen to some of their clips at - http://www.yesfmonline.com/CC.html

You guys are good, but could you talk a bit less and play more music ? 

Rock On !!!

A friend just told me this, I didn’t think Cheers at Cinnamon Grand was like this. Well here’s the story. World cup match, place is packed, people sitting on the floor as it was so packed, so it was happening. Well in advance they had called to see if they could book a table, and no you can’t, as it’s a pub and they don’t do reservations. Fair enough. So some of them go to the place early, tables are there free but all are reserved ?They try to get a seat no, can’t it’s reserved. Guess who gets them, yeah it’s only the foreign customers. A few locals also got places, but that was only if they were know to the place, had a lot of bling or with a foreigner.

That’s crap. Another thing they told me, a small area was free, some locals tried to come there, and they were chased off saying the can’t stay there, some foreigners came there and guess what ????? They let them stay there !!!! Since those locals were there and saw it they also were given a small space saying now they can go there as it had been christened by foreigners !!!!

Well I would like to see this for myself, there are more world cup matches to go for, and well I guess it’s no surprise, I guess the other hotels in Sri Lanka also are like this ?
