12 + hours.  ;D

In the good old days of data communication before the internet. We needed a modem to modem connection from Chicago to London for that length of time.

The first bit of good news was that the call held up for the duration, the 2nd part was that I didn't have to pay for it!

Once internet connections were freephone numbers I had a box that remained connected 24/7. If the call dropped it just re-dialled. Oh, those happy days before broadband.

As far as real phone calls are concerned, I've spent wasted many complete working days in pointless conference calls. They really are, IMHO, a total waste of time if you prefer to get on with the job rather than play w*nkword bingo. ::)

i once come in drunk..years and years ago and rang talkabout which was bt's first chat rooms  at about half 12 ish i put the phone on the side went into the kitchen to make a sammich, came back to the living room and forgot about the phone. Watched a film ,fell asleep, woke up in the early hours and went to bed..

About 39hrs. For work.

Some crappy online girls mag went tits up after its database cluster decided to give up. As Kevin Wood says, pointless conference calls so the management can wank 'emselves silly, and prevent those that need to fix it from fixing it.
