Yes, but don't whatever you do call Kirby, and let them send a
salesman round.

But if you do, make sure your better half/spouse/partner is there as well
otherwise they go ape ****, throw their teddy out of the pram and snatch
the free gift back G Great Fun !!!

And then, arrange the seating so that, with salesman as S, husband as H,
and wife as W, the angle subtended by H-S-W is a nice obtuse one (say
about 140 degrees). Puts them off wonderfully.


Diversions are good as well. If you have a small mobile phone, set
it up to call the home landline with one button dialling. Secrete
phone in pocket. Press the button and go and answer the phone at key
moments.

"It did what!"
"And how many were killed?"
