Is it cheesy in a bar/club to give someone your business card? Or is it a good way of hiding behind your work? Should you exchange numbers before you get too wasted and make a tit of yourself? Is it less predatory to get someone’s email id these days? I’m on a big Sunday comedown and in a mood with mysel...

I’ve just been cold-called by Vonage, an Internet phone company.
