But I'd say your only hope is that The Bore is pissing everybody else off as much as he is you, so the game will become how to avoid him. If you show people it can be done, by going out to the garden and sitting apart with your book (a smile and "I'm reading" in response to all attempts to drag you into the Boretex), you may encourage others.
Oh, and such people aren't really nice, they're manipulative.

That's actually exactly what I did, and the Bore Party broke up not long afterward....
That's so much easier than accidentally smothering the poor soul with a covering of honey and mackerel sauce. Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
