Guilty Pleasures, part 2It's been a while since we last asked this question and CaptainFellatioNelson's confession that he likes "to fart under the duvet, creep in and see how long I can last only on the fart air contained within" reminded us just how good it was last time.
What are the little things you do for fun when nobody else is around?

BTIn fairness to BT, their Preference Service is an excellent way of getting rid of tiresome, unwanted sales calls. But I'm sure we all remember the days when BT were the worst offenders. You'd be sitting down to eat/watch your favourite TV programme, and the phone would ring. Someone with an incomprehensible accent would try to sell you a new BT package that was indistinguishable from the one you already had, and you needed the eloquence of a QC to extricate yourself from the conversation.
Well, I used to get a kick out of doing the following:
Ring ring.
Me: Hallo?
BT caller: Can I speak to Eesnahk please?
Me: Speaking.
BT: This is XXX from BT. Are you aware of our new package...
Me: Look, sorry to interrupt but I'm so glad you called. You see I keep getting these nuisance calls and I'm at my wits' end. It's really bugging me. What can I do?
BT: The best thing is to put the receiver down gently, wait ten minutes and hang up.
So that is what I would do.

*clicks*I like that method - hoist by their own petard (whatever the heck that means!)
