Aren't we supposed to get one of those do not call registries for telemarketters (like in the US) in the next few months? When exactly does this come into effect? The constant bombardment of calls is driving me nuts

I like hanging up during the pause before they respond to my hello.[Smiley]

I like to just sit on the line not saying anything until they hang up.

Pretend to be hard of hearing... make the person on the other end repeat themselves over and over & over again in an ever increasing voice volume .... and misunderstand as much as possible.....

This is a bit old, but is still very funny answer to telemarketers.
