# Its quite fun
to ignore all their attempts to sell you stuff, and instead try and sell them some crap from your garage.

Even better, get the phone number of the company, the guys name, and say you'll get back to him. Leave it a couple of days, ring him up and THEN try and sell him some crap from your garage.

# Yes
if I'm bored sometimes I let them go on and on before I tell them to fuck off. Is that sad?

# I tell cold callers
that I'm skint. I usually say the same to tramps, although if by a freak chance I have money I sometimes give them some. It's true, I really am skint.

# Spare change....
who does have spare change?

I certainly don't - I'm on the dole.

Free money - wahay!

# I ask tramps
to "hold on please" and then stand there and wait and stare until they move away.
