They're way too disorganized to form a borg collective. This is one of the things that annoys me about most people.
Not a problem,here in Gentlemanville,UK. I might get a call from a chap [or chappette] to say "Are you in?"....but as I just answered the phone,doubts regarding that are usually allayed. It works both ways. I'll occasionally be in a village or hamlet in which an acquaintance resides,so I'll give him/her a ting,to suggest the Rose' be brought out and allowed to breathe-as one does. But just arriving on a chap's [or chappette's] doorstep to ask if they can come out to play,smacks somewhat of pre-pubescent capers with catapults and rafts,tree limbs and conkers,skinny dipping and scrumping. Does one not agree?
