Smashing
I generally just lie to people that I once had a child which was killed by a football, so that people feel uncomfortable talking about children (the most boring subject in the world) or football in my presence and so can talk about interesting things instead.

Brill ruse!
I'll try that one - might substitute pet for child in tale. "yeah, yeah, Hammy was killed by a bad volly".
Although I might just stick to "meh..." and turn invisible.

I used to say I was a Newcastle fan if asked (being half geordie) until I got trapped by a nutter in the supermarket who wanted an in depth debate on Kevin Keegan
Sad thing is, my missus now gets access to some big footie clubs through work, including Manchester United, and there are some priveleges involved, but they're totaly wasted on the two of us.
