cretin works at a call centre, cold-calling people at home, hoping to make
a sale of some such piece of guff, and, more to the point, how do you stop
them from calling?

Seriously, I get between 2 and 6 calls a day at home from these morons and
I've been trying to work out the best response for them.

a) 'Hello... Before we start, can I take the billing address of your
company? I charge £5 a minute for my residential listening service...'

b) 'I'm sorry, I'm rather busy at the moment, could you give me your home
phone number and I'll call you back later...'

c) 'Take this fucking number out of your database, you gormless cunts...'

d) 'Hello, Anglican Marketing Limited...'

What do you reckon? Do you have a strategy that has worked?

Two. One, "Actually, I'm having a wank at the moment" - to which my
boyfriend got a flustered "Oh, I'm terribly sorry, sir", and secondly "Sure,
hang on a moment, I'll just get him for you" followed by leaving the phone
until they hang up, periodically checking to see if they're still there and
having a good old muffled giggle. The calls have stopped.
