<div class="IPBDescription">from the UK</div> Hello. Say I wanted to call 717-393-1591 from the UK. What would I dial? Do all American phone codes use the same country code (beard)?

    1-717-393-1591


    Everything for the US is prefixed by a 1

    edit: never mind. I forgot about the 00

    Incorrect wizard, that's internal US calling, UK must do 001* first

    He is stalking me.

    Bird-in-Hand is just down the road from me.

    Along with Blue Ball, Intercourse, and Paradise, PA

    It's DEFINITELY 00-1*-NUMBER, right?

    I want to call AMES because they're a member of the PMPA and therefore a potential customer. I have refined my selling technique since my previous attempt at finding more customers, and this time will endeavour not to resort to throwing sintered metal components at their doors while screaming my employer's name until they call the authorities.

    Posting the actual number was an elementary mistake.

    If any of you skanks call and tarnish the name of Mr Paper and his metallic wares, I'll be cross and destitute.

    Nah I would never do something like that. I just felt it amusing you were calling a place right near to where I live.

    Though you really are calling to the heart of Amish Country.

    Hopefully you aren't trying to tempt those poor Amish with your metallic wares.

    <i>"Your favourite author and theirs, Will Self here, with some tragic news. Everything's gone so wrong! I was reading an excerpt from my latest triumph "The Twits" during one of my great kids parties (only £3 an hour, I even provide the cake - it's just whipped cream and me!) when one of the children stood and gestured what appeared to be a graphically vulgar sexual act with his hands and ears. It was only after I'd lamped him in the chin for disrespect that I was informed he was hard of hearing and merely signing "I love Self!" - boy was my face red! Was there any need for the pelvic thrusts, though? (Is what the officer asked me).

    Until the heat dies down, a benevolent friend who's name will remain a mystery for delicious anonymity (let's call him "Confidence") has offered me the chance of a new career in the United States of Americans. My job is to find new buyers for these curious metal parts that can go in cars or radiators, or applied to the backs of ducks so that they might swim faster (achieved using ducktape?). Being a salesman is very taxing! I met a potential customer this afternoon at a small cafe, and wishing to get into the role as best as possible, I hired a Dalek suit and announced myself as the Sintered Silver Sprocket, King Of Components. After sitting down and being assured by the manager that he'd do his best to make an EXTERMINATE, be it animal, vegetable or mineral, the table I shared with my buyer was silent. "Are you Will Self?" he finally asked. "Yes," I replied.</i>
