Overview

When you least expect it, someone you're quite fond of (mainly because they're rather like you: unpredictable, unmanageable and even erratic at times) will call, write or visit with one objective in mind: to persuade you to take their side in a tricky dispute. You, of course, won't hesitate to agree, especially if it's a city hall kind of thing. This time, though, you might want to insist that they uncover the nature of the problem before you sign up.
