>Apropos of nothing, over the weekend I had a flashback to a scene involving you. It was at one of the early Whilfests and everyone was congregating in the Hyatt lobby to go to dinner. We were delayed because one of us (don't remember who) was talking to a street person passing through. Pretty wacko. Afterwards you said, "Do not engage them. Disengage! Disengage!" LOL

It's been illegal in the UK for a few years now, but it doesn't stop people doing it. Recently I saw a woman get into her car, drive off, and then instantly start phoning. Worst is these guys in big vans, turning into busy shopping streets with one hand while talking on the "dog" at the same time
