WE KNOW HOW you feel.

It’s Sunday, you want to get out of the office but there’s a couple of hours still to get through.

So do like we do here in TheJournal.ie HQ and get stuck into a serious debate on one of life’s most pressing issues.

Possibly.

Today: You’re on a bus/train/tram and you receive a phone call. Not just a call where you can say you’re around the corner when you’ve literally just paid on, a real call. They want to talk. Do you talk? Do you try to mumble your way through a half conversation? Do you just tell them you’re on a bus/train/tram and hang up?
