I don't remember details of the following news report but it involved a scam
phone call where the homeowner got fed up and answered the message. When the
scammer started talking to him the homeowner unloaded on him, called him filthy
names and then hung up. Shortly thereafter, his home was surrounded by police and
he was handcuffed. It seems the scammer phoned the police using the homeowners
number on call display and told the police " I just shot and killed my wife".

Man, all I ever get is a clip of the message on my VM. "...or, press 9 to be removed from our list"
No, I don't answer unknown numbers. They can leave a VM and I'll get back to them if it's real. It never is...

How do you know they're never real? You could have won a whole pile of money and not even know
|
|
|
|
|
I rely on google to let me know. Plus, what would I do with another pile of money?

I've had this as well, three calls in all with the last one telling me an arrest warrant had been issued for me. That one was particularly fun as I work for the county police force....hopefully they won't have any difficulty in finding me.

Give up a few minutes of your day to listen to an amazing song, which will bring you peace and joy. This track features musicians, (and non-musicians!), from all over the world and constantly evolves, finishing with the beautiful voice of Revatti Sakalkar.

Yes, I had a 'testing' morning - including a power cut. All calm now, though.

Nice one indeed

It's off their first album "One Giant Leap", which has many good tracks. Worth a listen.

Loved that movie, there were so many one-liners and subtle innuendos.

Lack of space makes me inexperienced rather then unable to grasp things (6)

This seems more like a riddle, so I am going to try:
Novice
Novice = Inexperienced
Novice also equals "No Vice" (with the lack of space). With "no vice" you would be unable to grasp things.
|
|
|
|
|
Well done.
Point taken, I can see why you compare it to a riddle. First attempt - I may (or quite possibly may not!) get better.
|
|
|
|
|
Could you explain how the "Lack of space" phrase relates to the puzzle?
|
|
|
|
|
As mentioned in the solution given, the "unable to grasp" bit refers to "No vice" and the "Lack of space" means, remove the space between the words, to give "Novice"

Ahhhh OK, I see it now. My eyes were probably crossed, I was probably reading it in Russian.
