Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

I really dislike random calls. Actually, I rarely talk on the phone anymore. When I do it's a recruiter (they call quite often)

Cool, but I have built my own server (based on Asterisk) which automatically answers all telemarketer calls and proceeds to have an annoying nonsensical conversation with them. And it is recorded and transcoded into mp3, and then emailed to me so we can all laugh at them at work. Some of them are hilarious.
I've had people argue with my server for as long as 15 minutes. It's almost 100% effective, with an average of < 1 telemarketer getting through every 2 years.
We shouldn't just be blocking telemarketers, we should be punishing them. They are committing harassment, and if the law won't deal them then I will do it myself.
I'm considering taking my numbers OFF the do not call list. They are so entertaining.

I think they are spoofing numbers to look like local. Had an irate lady call and tell me to stop calling her. I was not even home to use the land line number.

Yes, I've had spoofed numbers call (try to call) me too. Including my own home number calling my home.
Just more evidence that telemarketers are criminal gangs, and should be treated as such.

As soon as I answer a telemarketing call I say "Hey I'd like to record this. Please wait for the tone".. .then hang up.

Once upon a time, I had a mobile phone plan that gave me a small amount of money for each minute of incoming calls.
At that time in the University corridors there were political inclined students who blocked the passageways asking for the phone number to invite people at Marxist-Leninist meetings. They were unorganized and divided in small groups...

Once my daughter, 3 years old, grabbed the phone before us ... it was a telemarketer; that's been great fun for 15 minutes: since then she is answering to unknown callers

Well when you come home from work one day to discover your house has been resided in barbie pink, don't say you weren't warned.

Please don't mention barbie, IMHO (and in this case also not considered) there are already too many of them in my house 
In any case I keep my credit card in a very high place, just to be sure

All that means is that when you come home to a bright pink home, she'll also be in trouble for climbing on furniture.

I hate telemarketers. When I still had a land line, when they called it was no holds barred - I cussed, threatened, and insulted their ancestry in the most disgusting terms possible. A few times it was a game to see how quickly they would hang up.

Try Travelodge, there is one in Hounslow that is very cheap (35 £ / night for two people under Christmas in 2013) and literally ABOVE the Piccadilly Line. It's 4th zone so the tube ticket may be a bit expensive, but the accommodation is of good quality - very nice and helpful staff.
