They arrive out of the blue. With a bottle of wine, or equivalent of you don't partake. What do you do?

And in the tradition of AH, may I just give the following advice:

Burn down the house.

Or kick them in the face?

Roundhouse kick them in the burning face?

Guess I would question why I have a "friend" that I consider to be a "gobsh|te" in the first place - and then re-evaluate my friend selection criteria.

My house is a bit like what I remember of watching that soap opera "neighbours" when I was around 12. You remember in it the way everyone just kinda walked into each others houses? No one ever seemed to knock or ring or call or anything. There would just be a scene going on in the kitchen of a house - the back door of the house would swing open - and some friend or neighbour would walk in and just start making a sandwich out of the fridge while chatting away as if he had been there all day.

Same in my place. Group of friends who just show up unannounced, sometimes carrying alcohol and sometimes not. And I quite like it that way.

I enjoy it. 'Tis the season to be jolly!

The mature response is to not answer the door and hide behind the sofa until after they've left.

There's no right or wrong answer.
Imagine it like this: if you have ever been placed in boards prison, how do you react if the MOD who put you there called around to you in person.

In my experience Cobumbo impression works better for clearing people. But one doesn't always have a cigar to hand for that.

Head to the bathroom for a a few minutes and come back out like a Late Late Toy Show presenter.

Don't forget to offer the visitor some also like Flash Gordon in Ted movies. In fact maybe visit your bathroom together.

Ask them if they would like to use the bathroom.

Make sure that they don't end up punching a hole in a wall of your home though.

If you call to my house and you are bringing drink, I don't care if you are the devil himself, you are coming in.
