filter your calls violently, especially weekdays 5-8pm and Saturday mornings. tell your friends to call you on the mobile and let the other phone ring... Why do you even have a fixed line anyway?

Some people (as in, a lot) need it for Internet. ADSL?

remove the bell from your landline phone, and only ever answer your mobile (or even disconnect your landline phone from its socket) have it there just for emergencies.

Any idiot can face a crisis - it's day to day living that wears you out.

it's my mother's set-up on Orange.  she does have a mobile, but i guess her mobile plan is a very limited one, mainly for emergencies. for general calls it's much cheaper to use the landline.

the problem we have is that we get lots of calls from overseas and people using Skype, so when "ID MASQUEE" or some bizarre sequence of digits shows up on caller id, it's hard to tell if it's a telemarketer or my brother in India or some random friend in Minnesota.

The march of civilizations is a series of defenses that man has put up against the dread of pure existence.
