I’m being terrorised by calendar selling people. They buzz from downstairs, demand to be let in, then ring our doorbell waiting for me to open the front door before they start their pitch. And if I don’t buzz them in, then I answer the door, but don’t buy, and if I do buzz them in, I hide when they get upstairs and pretend I’m not here… and don’t buy. Whichever way I act, I don’t buy. Not this year.

But they’re playing with my head now.

What would a mad fireman do if I didn’t buy a calendar? Not respond to a call for a fire? No, they wouldn’t do that…
What would a mad postman do if I didn’t buy a calendar? Not deliver my Christmas cards? or, steal my parcels? No, they wouldn’t do that….

They wouldn’t, would they???

Note: If there are any firemen reading this, please know that Michelle gave one of your colleagues €10 last year for your pathetic little calendar (it was barely worth €2, but apparently the extra €8 was because he was cute!) so I think we should be exempt at least until 2009!
