# Hee hee
dat's funny.


Sorry for the threadjack - just had a call from someone trying to sell me new windows/doors/guttering/cladding and his voice got more and more depressed as I refused everything he offered me.
I'm not sure whether to feel a sense of triumph or remorse...

# None...
I'd be chasing the wee bugger that smashed them in the first place. Kids today, huh!

# A friend did the best one
He talked for ages about the windows he really wanted and then asked if they could give him a house to put them in too.

# Oh
I was really nice and pleasant - I don't get nasty unless they won't take no for an answer.
