People are not welcome
to help themselves to undefined quantities of my time for their purposes
according to all these "suck people people into conversation, get the
agreeing to all kinds of stuff and then they find it harder to refuse what
you're actually asking for" techniques. I'm getting Victorian in me old age,
innit ?

Well, maybe. And you've got that little technique number so-and-so in the droidbuch well sussed. On the other hand, flirting with a Jehovah's Witnessess the other day did no harm save wasting a couple of minutes of their time. I was good and didn't change into a definitely non-JW T-shirt beforehand. Rewarded by the conversation being multi-levelled and eventually causing them to leave with much goodwill but a tad puzzled. Take entertainment when and where it presents itself?


The last door-to-door bloke got *much* shorter shrift.
