Rule 8 - telephone calls

With the festive season in full swing, there have been lots of examples of Rule 8. These have mainly been drunken conversations following Christmas parties and lunches and have been very entertaining as we've heard all about what outfits they're going to wear, how much they've had to drink, who snogged (or worse) who. As well as the normal, boring business conversations. 

On Monday I overheard what could have been a very interesting conversation as a gentleman behind me on the bus appeared to be having an argument with someone. He was claiming that the person on the other end was being rude and it was no way to treat a fellow musician. Unfortunately it was someone a little the worse for drink having a conversation with an imaginary person. 

A friend posted this photo on Facebook yesterday and I think it really sums up this rule. It is from the letters page of the Telegraph and I may just have to try it. Although I will be using the Metro as I'm not sophisticated enough for the Telegraph!
