911

911 will now also work in Aust.

I didn't know that. We're more Americanised than I thought; and that's saying something.

I blame CSI and Law and Order personally. But there were several cases of help not arriving when it should have because people mistakenly dialed it instead off 000.

From today, dialing 999 won't get you the emergency services. And that's not the only thing that's changing. Nicer ambulances, faster response times, and better-looking drivers mean they're not THE emergency-services, they're YOUR emergency-services. So, remember the new number: 0118 999 881 999 119 725... 3

If you get where that joke is from, +1 internets to you.

The UK's normal number is 999 (European one of 112), but the emergency text message number in the Isle of Man is 166 999. Not sure if there's one on the mainland.

If you're a Stonemason though, you just call 912, the real emergency services.

The Anti Piracy ad was better though.

I wish that wasn't true. How can you be that ignorant?

Yeah! Free internet!

EDIT: I should probably mention that that was and IT Crowd quote.

Don't you mean Stonecutter?

So I got Triple-Oh drilled into my head just about every day for the first five years of my life only for it to be replaced by something I could learn by watching The Simpsons?
Far out.

EDIT: Ok, not replaced, but still, how much more head can the US take from Australia?
