Glitch in the matrix? Or GCHQ? Or Skynet monitoring me?

3 times this week speaking to Mrs Awkward on our mobiles from overseas.

Cuts off my end.

I call and it's engaged.

When I get through she tells me that I was on the line and repeated myself 3 times before hanging up.

Is it:

• GCHQ or the local lot playing silly buggars

• aliens

• glitch in the matrix

• timeline switch

What do you lot think is going on.
